Are you unhappy with the appearance of your teeth? Do you watch movie stars and models and stare at their beautiful, perfect, white teeth, longing for a similar smile? Well, we are here to tell you that Dr. Andrew Bartish of Velle Dental can make all of your smile dreams come true. While there are a number of treatments that can improve the aesthetics of your smile, there is one in particular that gives the movie star smile you are after — porcelain veneers. In fact, we recently had a patient who received porcelain veneers to improve imperfections in her teeth from composite bonding that had begun to stain and crack.

What are Porcelain Veneers?

If you are unfamiliar, porcelain veneers are tooth-colored, wafer-thin shells that are permanently placed over the teeth to improve any number of imperfections. Patients love this treatment because it results in a uniform, yet natural-looking smile. Veneers can be used to improve imperfections such as:

• Permanently discolored teeth
• Teeth with chips, cracks, and bumps
• Teeth that are too short or look too small
• Gaps between teeth

If you look at the before and after pictures of our patient, you will see that she had many of the issues mentioned above. After receiving 10 minimal prep porcelain veneers, she now has a beautiful, uniform smile that she loves to show off! This entire transformation was completed in two office visits.

The Importance of Caring For Veneers

As with any dental treatment, it is important to care for your teeth properly to ensure your beautiful results remain. While veneers are durable, they are not indestructible. Although veneers do not stain easily, it is important to follow our directions about what foods to avoid, as veneers cannot be whitened using any teeth whitening products. Veneers can be handled in the same way as your natural teeth. We recommend brushing twice daily and flossing once daily.

Do you long to have beautiful teeth? Or do you often find yourself admiring people with perfect, straight, white teeth? If so, you may be a good candidate for one of the cosmetic dentistry treatments we provide to our patients. Dental veneers are a great option for patients who have issues such as gaps, chips, and stains on their front teeth. Read on to learn more about this popular cosmetic dentistry treatment and how it can transform your smile into one that you’ll love.

What are Dental Veneers?

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your front teeth, we have different options that we can recommend. One in particular is popular among many of our patients — dental veneers. If you are unfamiliar with this treatment, dental veneers are thin shells made from tooth-colored material, like porcelain, that are custom fitted and designed for each tooth. Veneers are made to fully cover your teeth. Dental veneers can be used to restore and improve the appearance of one tooth; however, we typically recommend placing them on multiple teeth for a more uniform appearance. Dental veneers can improve imperfections such as:

• Gaps between teeth
• Permanent staining
• Misshapen teeth
• Crooked teeth

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Patients love dental veneers because they not only improve the shape and color of their teeth, but they are also natural looking and designed to fit perfectly. After treatment, patients can continue to care for their teeth as normal. We recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoiding aggressive brushing. We would hate for you to damage your veneers and your natural teeth by brushing too roughly. Although dental veneers are stain resistant, you may want to limit coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking to preserve your beautiful new smile for as long as possible.

Our patients in Cincinnati, OH and the surrounding area are thrilled with their dental veneers, and we know you will be too. If you are ready to transform your smile with dental veneers, call our office to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you achieve the healthy and bright smile you deserve!

At Velle Dental, we are able to assist patients who need full mouth reconstruction. You may also have heard of the term to describe this process as “full mouth rehabilitation” or “full mouth restoration.” Full mouth reconstruction is the process of rebuilding the teeth in the upper and lower jaws at the same time. If you or a loved one has experienced tooth loss or extreme decay, we can help.

Why Would Full Mouth Reconstruction Be Needed?

It can be upsetting to deal with recurrent dental issues. Patients who suffer from damaged or missing teeth often have issues with their day-to-day lives. For example, they may struggle to eat certain foods or chew properly. Self-esteem issues and depression are also common in patients with severe dental issues. We are here to help restore our patients’ oral health, and we have the added benefit of helping improve their lives. We may recommend full mouth reconstruction to patients who have experienced issues such as:

• Teeth lost to decay or trauma
• Teeth have been injured or fractured
• Teeth have experienced severe wear due to acid erosion
• Ongoing jaw or muscle discomfort or headache due to bite issues

Treatments We May Recommend

During the examination, we will create a treatment plan and explain the process and steps needed to restore your oral health. The length of your treatment will be determined by the state of your oral health and the types and numbers of treatments needed. It is important to remember that, although it may seem like a tedious process, the results will be worth it in the end. For full mouth reconstruction, we may recommend treatments such as:

• Crowns
• Bridges
• Veneers
• Implants

The process of full mouth reconstruction can be quite extensive, so it is important to choose a dental team with years of experience. Dr. Andrew Bartish is able to create an extensive plan that has impeccable attention to detail and leaves his patients with teeth that have optimal function, an ideal bite, and a flawless smile.

If you are located in the Cincinnati, OH area and are interested in learning more about full mouth reconstruction for you or a loved one, be sure to contact our office to schedule an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
