Veneers from Dr. Khan at Smiles Dental Studio

The use of veneers is a technique for covering flaws in teeth that are discolored, worn, misaligned, or misshapen. Many people in the Sacramento, Ca, area, have gotten veneers to hide imperfections in their teeth that cannot be improved other ways. The greatest strength of veneers is that they can be created and applied in a relatively short amount of time to deliver dramatic improvements with little to no discomfort.

Veneers typically require two appointments. In the first appointment, Dr. Khan and Smiles Dental Studio in Sacramento, CA will assess your needs and create a treatment plan. She will then then prepare the tooth or teeth by removing a tiny amount of tooth to make room in your mouth for the finished veneers. An impression of the tooth is made, and a temporary veneer is installed, ending the first appointment. A skilled technician uses the impression of the tooth to craft a veneer that will fit in place perfectly. This usually takes about 2 weeks. On your second visit, Dr. Khan will remove the temporary restoration, clean your tooth, and then bond the permanent veneer. And that’s it!

With regular brushing and flossing veneers can last for many years. You can enjoy all your favorite foods, though Dr. Khan will be able to advise you on the use of coffee, tea, or tobacco, all of which can stain veneers if you do not follow her instructions. Habits such as biting your nails and chewing on pens or pencils should be avoided, as well.

Veneers can be a quick, easy, and painless way to treat cosmetic concerns. Call Smiles Dental Studio in Sacramento, CA today to see if veneers are right for you.
