Dental Veneers

Want to make your smile appear better? Gain more self-confidence? Well, the dental veneers at Dr. Joseph M. Boesch, DDS in Rockville might be an option for you. They are thin coverings that are put on the front of your teeth to look great and act just like natural teeth. They can be an excellent option for different dental problems:

• If your teeth are stained and resistant to bleaching and other whitening treatments
• If you want to cover worn and chipped teeth
• If you want to shape misshapen or crooked teeth
• If you want to fix uneven spacing or large gaps in your mouth
• Veneers are made from either composite resin material or porcelain and can help your smile look and function better. Dr. Joseph M. Boesch, DDS will help you choose the right material to use for your veneers. Each set has great reasons for choosing it.

PORCELAIN

Small, wafer-thin shells that are specially designed for your teeth – that’s what you’re getting with porcelain veneers.

To prepare a tooth for a veneer, the dentist will take off a tiny amount of enamel from the front and side area of the tooth or teeth in question. This will allow room for the veneer to fit properly. Then they’ll make a mold of the teeth. The appropriate color shading is chosen, and away it goes to a dental lab! At your next visit to the dentist in Rockville, the veneer will be put on and checked for shade and shape. Your teeth will undergo a cleaning, and then the veneer will be put in place. Some benefits to porcelain include:

• More durable
• Looks natural
• Less enamel removal than with a crown
• Stain-resistant

COMPOSITE RESIN

They are created from a tooth-colored enamel and then bonded to your teeth. Once your teeth are ready, the dentist will begin bonding and sculpting the resin to your teeth using the properly chosen colored shaded resin. A laser will harden it into place, and then they’ll be polished and smoothed down. Some benefits to composite resin include:

• Minimal enamel removal
• Just one visit to the dentist
• Less expensive
• Easy to fix

Whichever one you choose, the dentist can help answer any questions you might have to ensure a comfortable, relaxing visit that will end in your mouth looking better than ever!
