Do you find yourself hiding your smile due to stained, chipped, or misshapen teeth? Veneers could be the solution you've been searching for. As one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments in Columbus, veneers provide a simple, yet transformative solution for various dental imperfections. These thin, custom-made shells, typically constructed from porcelain or composite resin, are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They mimic the natural appearance of your teeth while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel.

Why Should I Get Veneers?
If you don’t feel confident about your smile, veneers can be life-changing. They can correct a wide range of dental issues such as discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, misaligned, uneven, irregularly shaped teeth, or gaps between teeth. Veneers offer a more conservative approach to changing a tooth's color and shape while offering a strong, aesthetic result. With veneers, you can achieve a natural, healthy-looking smile that boosts your confidence and enhances your overall appearance.

The Benefits of Veneers
Improved Aesthetics
The most immediate benefit of veneers is the significant improvement in your smile's appearance. Veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth and can be adjusted to match the color of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural look. Whether you have discolored, chipped, or misshapen teeth, veneers can instantly transform your smile, boosting your self-confidence.
Durability and Longevity
Veneers are known for their durability. They are resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and even cigarette smoke. With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, your veneers can last for over a decade. This makes them a long-term solution for enhancing your smile.
Minimal Enamel Removal
Unlike other dental procedures like crowns or bridges, veneers require minimal removal of your original tooth enamel. This makes the veneer procedure less invasive, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

The Veneers Treatment Process
Consultation and Treatment Planning
The first step in getting veneers involves a consultation with Dr. Ellen Saslaw at Riverglen Dental. During this appointment, Dr. Saslaw will examine your teeth to ensure veneers are the right option for you, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Preparation
Once you've decided on veneers, the next step involves preparing your teeth. This typically involves removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of your teeth to make room for the veneer. Afterward, an impression of your teeth is made and sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be custom-made.
Bonding
Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Saslaw will temporarily place them on your teeth to examine their fit and color. After any necessary adjustments are made, your teeth will be cleaned, polished, and etched to allow for a strong bonding process. The veneers are then applied using a special cement, which is hardened with a light beam. This process ensures your veneers fit perfectly and look natural.
