Are Porcelain Dental Veneers Right for You?

Porcelain dental veneers are one of the fastest and most esthetic means of improving common cosmetic dental flaws. There have been tremendous advancements in them since they were first developed in 1928 by Dr. Charles L. Pincus to perfect Hollywood stars' smiles temporarily while filming. Today's veneers can create unparalleled results in the hands of a skilled dentist such as Dr. Jones, who is responsible for many of the stunning smiles seen across the state of Georgia.

Modern dental veneers are ultra-thin, about the thickness of a contact lens, so they only require minimal tooth preparation. They can be used to create beautiful smiles while maintaining the maximum amount of tooth structure, making them a conservative but extremely effective technique. Minor misalignment, permanent discoloration, shape, proportion, gaps, and chips are just some of the esthetic flaws that can be improved with veneer placement. 

Dr. Jones can create brand new, breathtaking smiles for his patients in as little as three weeks using porcelain veneers. The first step in the process is communication. He takes the time to get to know you, discuss the aspects of your smile that you dislike and like, and understand your goals. Whether you want a bright white, perfectly symmetrical "Hollywood Smile" or a more natural look with subtle nuances, the doctor can help you attain the smile of your dreams. The skilled dental ceramists we work with can manipulate the transparency and color of the porcelain to achieve the look you desire. 

Your teeth and gums must be healthy for any successful cosmetic treatment. If you have any oral issues, they need to be addressed before treatment can commence. If you have conditions such as significant decay or misalignment, porcelain veneers may not be recommended. If they are not right for you, the doctor will suggest potential alternatives that would be appropriate for your needs.

Dr. Jones assesses your needs and desires, considers your complexion, hair color, and facial shape to design a treatment plan that will deliver a lovely, natural looking smile. If you have looked in the mirror and have decided it is time for a change, call (770) 464-1900 and schedule a consultation with Dr. Jones today.
