Alex felt a wave of anxiety wash over him whenever someone took his picture or when he let out a big laugh, showing his teeth to the world. His teeth were chipped and stained, and he was constantly aware of whether people were noticing them. He wanted to smile without anxiety, without worrying about whether friends and coworkers could see his teeth. Then, he heard about porcelain veneers in Tampa, FL, and decided to do something about it.
Porcelain veneers can cover imperfections such as:
- Misshapen teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Discolored teeth resistant to whitening
Getting Porcelain Veneers in Tampa, FL
Alex called Carrollwood Village Dental after googling porcelain veneers and finding their website. He scheduled a veneer consultation online. He was a little nervous, unsure about what to expect, but he was ready to make a change in his life. The friendly front-desk staff put him at ease as soon as he walked through the door. Alex met with Dr. Mancuso, who assessed his oral health and spent time talking to him about his smile goals. Together, they created a custom treatment plan.
The porcelain veneer placement process generally takes two or three appointments, depending on the patient’s particular needs.
At his next appointment, the dental team removed a small amount of Alex’s enamel to prepare his teeth for veneers. Then, an assistant took digital scans of his teeth to ensure the final veneers fit perfectly over his existing teeth. Depending on the patient, temporary veneers can be placed to protect the altered teeth until the custom veneers are ready.
Finally, the day arrived. Alex woke up feeling excited, ready for a new chapter in his life. He returned to Carrollwood Village Dental, where Dr. Mancuso bonded his custom porcelain veneers to his teeth. The doctor carefully shaped and polished his new veneers to create a natural-looking finish. Alex walked out of the office with a huge smile on his face, no longer wanting to hide his teeth. He was ready to show the world.
