For many people, having a white and appealing smile, gives them the extra boost of self-confidence they need to success in life and business. If you’re smile is less than its best because of stains, chips or old dental work, Dr. Forrest Buhler offers several cosmetic dentistry options.
One of the more popular and effective options for improving a smile with multiple imperfections is to install custom shaped and shaded porcelain dental veneers.
Dental veneers are designed to fit over the faces of each tooth in your smile. They are custom crafted in a dental lab to match the natural shape of the teeth. Dental veneers can be shaded to appear just like natural enamel, set to a brilliant shade of white.
During your first appointment, Dr. Forrest Buhler will examine all of the teeth in your smile to make sure there you have sufficiently strong enamel on each tooth. If you have one or two teeth lack the sufficient enamel to anchor a dental veneer they might recommend restoring the tooth with a porcelain crown.
Dr. Forrest Buhler will then create a detailed impression of the teeth in your smile. It will be sent to dental lab where your new veneers are custom crafted.
Dr. Forrest Buhler will call you back in for the second appointment to install your new dental veneers when they are ready. To install them they will use a drill to remove a small amount of enamel from the face of each tooth, then cement the corresponding veneer in place.
If you are interested in being fitted for dental veneers, you should call Buhler Dental Arts at 801-794-9905 to schedule an appointment.
