Improve Your Smile with Veneers



Your smile is one of your most noticeable features. That is why maintaining the health and look of your teeth is so important.
As we age, teeth may lose their luster or become stained or chipped.When this happens, you might not have the confidence to smile as broadly. However, if this happens, there’s no need to become discouraged. Porcelain veneers can change a lackluster smile into one you would be proud to show off.
Veneers are very thin pieces of porcelain material that are perfectly shaped to match the natural contours of teeth. To apply them, a dentist bonds the porcelain to your tooth enamel one-by-one.They look just like the existing teeth and are custom made to match shape, size, and color to blend seamlessly within the smile. If you are looking to veneers to whiten your smile, your dentist will choose a new tooth color that will look the most natural.

Veneers can solve a number of different problems, such as:
  • Filling in gaps
  • Smoothing out crooked teeth
  • Evening out uneven tooth lines
  • Covering stained teeth
  • Covering chips or cracks
Veneers are considered to be permanent restorations and do not require any additional care or attention than the existing teeth. To keep your new smile luminous and healthy, you should brush and floss your teeth, as normal, after every meal to remove plaque, tartar and food particles. Many patients find that they forget they even have porcelain veneers over time!

Whether you're considering veneers, another cosmetic dentistry procedure, or are in need of a routine cleaning, Dr. Keri Bender can help. She is committed to providing every patient with exceptional dental care.

Tooth Decay and How to Prevent it

Getting a cavity isn’t something you enjoy experiencing, and yet, it happens to almost everyone at least once.   Cavities   occur as a result of tooth decay. Tooth decay occurs when foods containing carbohydrates such as breads, cereals, milk, soda, fruits, cakes, or candy are left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth digest these foods, turning them into acids. The bacteria, acid, food debris and saliva combine to form plaque, a whitish, sticky substance, that accumulates on and clings to the teeth and gums. The acids in   plaque   dissolve the enamel surface of the teeth, creating holes in the teeth called cavities. Tooth decay can affect both the   enamel   (the outer coating of the tooth) and the   dentin   (inner layer of the tooth) and in some cases extend into the   pulp   (nerve).
