But you\u2019re worried they\u2019ll stick out like a sore thumb, you might hesitate to schedule a consultation with your dentist. Continue reading to learn more about the technology used to design your one-of-a-kind prosthetics to set your mind at ease!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this popular cosmetic treatment, your dentist helps design thin covers that are typically made out of resilient ceramic, which reflects light more naturally like enamel. Not only that, but the shells are carefully customized to blend into your smile seamlessly and boost your confidence in your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, for them to fit properly without appearing bulky or contributing to potential bite misalignment, your provider must remove a small amount of enamel. This doesn\u2019t regrow, meaning that getting veneers involves irreversible changes to your teeth’s structure, and accurate measurements become essential.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Technology Helps Customize Veneers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to advancements in dental technology and techniques, today, the results of this cosmetic service are more accurate than ever before. For example, before approving your procedure, your provider must examine your mouth to ensure you\u2019re a good candidate. Instead of relying purely on their own eyes, many dentists today utilize state-of-the-art intraoral cameras to see more detailed images of all sides of your teeth, which can then be captured for closer inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but many practices also create more accurate impressions than in the past due to digital imaging. Historically, this part of the process involved biting into a plaster tray to make a manual mold of your teeth, which is prone to error with the slightest change in bite pressure. This can result in ill-fitting veneers that may be more likely to become destabilized or dislodged. But with more modern 3D impressions, today the process of getting veneers is much more comfortable, convenient, and accurate than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
