Although they are effective, the average orthodontic treatment takes 12 to 24 months, which can be a long commitment if you only need a minor adjustment. What if you could save time and money? You can with instant orthodontics! Here\u2019s how you can achieve a straight smile in just a couple of weeks using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petalumasmiles.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Veneers Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A veneer is a thin restoration that improves the color, size, and shape of a tooth by covering its front surface. This is a great option to cover a stain, chip, or shorter-than-average tooth. However, when bonding veneers to the teeth that show when you smile, you can fix many issues at once, including minor alignment problems, like gaps between teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefit from Instant Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You must have healthy teeth and gums to be a candidate for veneers. Your cosmetic dentist will also examine your teeth to ensure veneers can provide the results you want. If your alignment issues are significant, you may require traditional orthodontics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If veneers are right for you, your dentist will schedule you for the first step of your treatment. They&#8217;ll remove a small amount of enamel to ensure your veneers sit flush. Porcelain allows veneers to be thinner than ever before, so you\u2019ll maintain more tooth structure and the procedure is less invasive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will make an impression of your mouth, which the dental lab will use to fabricate your restorations. It can take the lab a couple of weeks, so your dentist will apply temporary restorations while you wait. Once the lab sends your veneers back to your dentist, you\u2019ll return to have them bonded to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in Long-Lasting Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can have a straight, confident smile in just a couple of appointments. You can also address other issues while fixing your alignment problems to reduce the cost of your picture-perfect smile. Your veneers can last for a decade or longer with the correct care, like brushing and flossing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s never too late to invest in a healthy, straight smile. You can skip the commitment and restrictions of braces and aligners by choosing veneers for instant orthodontics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Bob Koenitzer&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petalumasmiles.com\/meet-dr-koenitzer.html\">Dr. Koenitzer<\/a> knew from a young age that he wanted to be a dentist.
