Step to the front of that photo, and charm your way into asking for that second date. Your dentist can give you your smile back&#8211; it\u2019s always worth it to invest in your self-confidence, so don\u2019t wait any longer!    <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The History Behind Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the late 1920s, porcelain veneers were the way to\ncreate picture-perfect smiles for Hollywood stars. It all started with a small\ncap that would fit over the star\u2019s teeth during their big scenes. Since then,\nveneers have come a long way. Going from being used as temporary caps to\npermanently-bonded composites, they can now give you the smile you\u2019ve dreamed\noff. It\u2019s time to stop hiding behind your hand every time you laugh at a joke\nor consciously remain tight-lipped during your dates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Today\u2019s Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flennikendental.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a>\ngive you the chanceto correct your smile.\nThey\u2019re now made of tough composite or porcelain shells that are directly\nbonded to your teeth for a permanent and natural fix for your smile. Your\ndentist will adjust your natural tooth to fit the custom-made porcelain shell\nsnugly. Your cosmetic dentist checks the shade and fit of your tooth before\nthey permanently bond it. Today, veneers last about 10-30 years with regular\npreventive maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two kinds of veneers: porcelain and resin. Resin\nveneers create a natural look by having the composite placed on the appropriate\nteeth and sculpted by your dentist. It\u2019s nice that this process can be done in\none simple appointment so you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about taking any days off\nof work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain veneers often require two appointments because\nyour existing tooth needs to be adjusted by the dentist before your veneer can\nbe bonded. A custom-made finished veneer is sent from the dental laboratory to\nyour doctor and is securely attached to look as good as new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Obtain Your Hollywood Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to consult your cosmetic dentist to get\nprecise estimates and details about how porcelain veneers will benefit you. The\ncost typically depends on how many veneers you need placed as well as what kind\nof resin or composite you choose. Because they have a significantly longer\nlifespan than other options such as direct bonding, it is a nice option to save\nyou money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Flenniken Family Dentistry,\nour top priority is to see patients\u2019 smiles shine ear to ear on their way out.\nWith your newfound confidence, you will be able to take on the world again.\nWith decades of experience and a special focus on cosmetic dentistry, we can\nprovide you with veneers that will change your life.
