Handmade Veneers are a Flexible, Custom-Crafted Option to Enhance Your Smile in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Dental veneers serve both cosmetic and practical functions. We offer many varieties to suit our clients’ differing needs and priorities. We are blessed to make such a personal impact in our clients’ lives as their self-image improves after they have received their veneers in our relaxed, spa-like atmosphere. Preparing handmade veneers involves an extra personal touch, and this approach is often the better option for some of our clients.

Some of our veneers are made using computer-aided design and manufacturing technology, sometimes called CAD/CAM. These veneers contrast with other types exclusively prepared by hand by the dentist or the dentist’s associates or assistants.

At Dr. Patty’s Dental, we have extensive experience using both approaches and can help you assess which veneer type will be right for you and your smile.

Benefits of Handmade Veneers

When you choose handmade veneers to enhance your smile, you stand to gain in several ways:

• Improve your smile while hiding dental imperfections
• Regain the confidence to openly show your smile
• Coordination with your dentist to exercise control over the design of your veneers

While computer-aided design and manufacturing of veneers offer many strengths, many clients appreciate the level of customization and control offered by a handmade approach. Talk to us today if you think handmade veneers might be right for you!

Handmade Veneers Offer More Flexibility in Design and Color

Crafting veneers is both an art and a science. We can achieve superior quality and comfort by custom-fitting each veneer to suit a specific person’s unique dental structure. Methods that lean heavily on automated processes produce high-quality veneers with computer precision. Still, something is appealing about human flexibility and the ability to perceive and adjust to a person’s needs. Coordinate with your dentist during your visit to select the exact characteristics that will be right to fit your smile.

Shade, Texture, and Other Design Factors Contribute to a Veneer’s Natural Look

When crafting veneers by hand, you and the dentist retain more shared control over the characteristics that contribute to the natural appearance of the completed product. You should choose the shade for your veneers according to your teeth’s current and expected shade. Otherwise, a too-white veneer relative to the teeth around it may stand out and compromise the intended effect of a natural look.

Additionally, the texture of a veneer’s substance is an essential factor that affects whether a given veneer appears like a natural tooth. The person crafting a veneer by hand has direct manual control over its texture and finish. Note that some varieties of veneers are not compatible with some whitening agents. When you choose your veneers, you should do so with an eye to the future. During a complimentary consultation, ask any questions pertinent to your cosmetic goals and your overall future plans for your smile.
