In the past, Seattle dentists have used veneers to address a number of cosmetic dental issues, such a uneven teeth and discoloration. However, the results haven't always been natural-looking. We've all seen examples of this--people whose teeth boast an artificial whiteness and an evenness not found in nature.
In recent years, Seattle cosmetic dentists report that the results sought by their clients has changed. The overly perfect look is out. Today's cosmetic dentists report that their clients are after a look that, in many ways, is much more difficult to achieve. They want their veneers to look natural.
The Role of the Dentist in Creating Natural-Looking Seattle Cosmetic Veneers
Achieving this result starts with the veneers themselves. Today, porcelain veneers are available that are designed to create teeth that look as life-like as it gets. Dental enamel is translucent, a term that describes the way it absorbs light. Dental bonding materials used in the past were only semi-translucent and thus were easily marked as being something less than real. Like dental enamel, porcelain is translucent, a quality that enables it to be indistinguishable from the teeth you were born with.
But perhaps the most important factor to consider in your quest for natural-looking veneers is the competence of the person applying them. Lance Timmerman DMD PS is a Seattle dentist with a gift for providing his clients with natural-looking smiles; the proof is in the "before" and "after" pictures of clients he's worked with.
