Porcelain veneers are an excellent option to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagedentalnv.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">correct several aesthetic concerns<\/a> using only one procedure. Your cosmetic dentist in Reno can improve the color, size, shape, and appearance of a tooth by placing the thin shell on its front surface. Besides veneers, your dentist may also recommend another cosmetic procedure. Gum contouring often goes hand-in-hand with veneers to create flawless smiles.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Porcelain Veneer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A veneer is a thin shell bonded to the front surface of a\ntooth to instantly hide cosmetic concerns, like discoloration, chips, or\nshorter than average teeth? In some cases, veneers can even be used to make\nyour teeth appear straighter without having to spend months wearing braces.\nThey can be used to close gaps or hide minor alignment issues in as little as\ntwo appointments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since veneers are made of porcelain, this allows them to be\nthinner. As a result, less of your tooth\u2019s structure is removed during the\nbonding process to make the procedure minimally invasive. Not to mention,\nporcelain closely mimics your enamel to create natural-looking results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will I Need Gum Contouring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist in Reno may recommend you also undergo gum\ncontouring to enhance the cosmetic outcome. Often, it\u2019s used to create symmetry\nor add length to shorter than average teeth. Don\u2019t worry, although it creates\nanother step to your treatment, it\u2019s time well spent to ensure you achieve the\nradiant smile you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Gum Contouring?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New advancements in dentistry have made gum contouring\nminimally invasive. Besides a scalpel and sutures, a soft tissue laser is used\nto remove small amounts of gingival tissue. The highly concentrated beam of\nlight energy precisely targets an area to sculpt it into a new shape. This\nprovides a greater level of accuracy when compared to traditional methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The laser also sterilizes and cauterizes while it cuts to\nreduce the risk of infection or bleeding. Overall, you\u2019ll enjoy enhanced\ncomfort because you may not even need an anesthetic. Your new gum line will be\ncreated with pinpoint accuracy to achieve the exact results you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Your Dream Smile Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to feel confident when you smile, it\u2019s time\nto take the first step by scheduling a consultation with your cosmetic dentist.\nAfter performing an examination and discussing the results you want to achieve,\nthey will determine if you\u2019ll need gum contouring along with porcelain veneers.\nThey\u2019ll ensure you have the exact smile you want using personalized solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Josh Branco<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagedentalnv.com\/meet-dr-branco.html\">Dr.\nJosh Branco<\/a> has advanced training in many areas of specialty, including\noral surgery, IV sedation, and dental implants.
