Veneers in Berwyn, IL

Who says that getting the perfect smile has to be difficult? Here at our Berwyn, IL, practice, we have quite a few patients walk through our doors looking for ways to achieve the perfect smile. They want a smile that’s brighter, more even, and straighter. We do offer a wide range of cosmetic services to meet these needs, but most cosmetic imperfections can easily be improved through one simple cosmetic dental treatment: dental veneers.

What Dental Veneers Can Do for Your Smile

Dental veneers are a great alternative for adults looking to straighten their smiles without wearing braces. For people dealing with minor crookedness or gaps between teeth, veneers can actually fix these issues. These thin porcelain shells are affixed to the front surface of your teeth with a block of special cement. People dealing with everything from chipped and uneven teeth to pitted teeth and crowding can benefit from veneers, as this cosmetic treatment can easily hide these flaws.

Porcelain is also incredibly durable and stain-resistant, which means that you won’t have to worry about your veneers developing stains. Of course, we still recommend that patients limit consuming dark and stain-causing foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, dark condiments and sauces, and berries. It’s also important that you brush and floss your teeth normally to keep your new smile healthy.

Getting Dental Veneers

For people looking for minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry, veneers offer a very attractive and ideal package. We only have to remove a very small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for your veneers. This enamel removal can often be performed with little to no local anesthesia. This is the only tooth preparation that is required before we can bond your veneers directly to your smile.

Of course, no two smiles are exactly alike, which means that veneers are unique to each patient that walks through our doors. We take molds of your mouth to get the exact measurements of each tooth. From there, a dental lab crafts your beautiful, porcelain veneers.

Once your veneers are ready, you’ll come into our office so that we can check the look and fit, and then bond them permanently to your teeth for the smile you’ve always wanted. In just a few short weeks, you could have a brand-new smile.
