Veneers

If you’re unhappy with your smile, there is no reason you can’t change it! Dental veneers reshape your entire mouth to your liking. They are made of thin, durable porcelain placed over your natural teeth. Say goodbye to stained, broken, chipped, or gapped teeth! Drs. Navid and Faranak Rahimpour offer these to their patients at Southern Cross Dental. To learn more, contact our office in Colorado Springs, CO.

 

The entire veneer process takes between 2-3 appointments. The first is more of a consultation. You can ask any questions you have about the process while learning more. If you decide to go forward with veneers, you start making your aesthetic choices.

 

There are many options and variables for your veneers. The shape is the first major choice. Veneers are either rounded or square. Female patients usually prefer the rounded option while men go for the square. Your Colorado Spring, CO, dentist is happy with whatever shape you pick, regardless of gender. The next choice is the shade of the veneers. You can pick anywhere from a natural white to Hollywood-level brightness! The decision is yours.

 

Next, we prepare and measure your teeth. The teeth are smoothed down to make the application of the veneers easier. We then create an impression of your teeth. This goes to a dental laboratory to create your customized veneers. It will take about 10-14 days for their creation and delivery. In the meantime, you’ll receive temporary veneers. At your final appointment, the veneers bond to your teeth.

 

Never settle for anything less than the best when it comes to your smile! Southern Cross Dental helps you get the smile you deserve. To schedule an appointment with Drs. Navid and Faranak Rahimpour, call their office in Colorado Springs, CO, at 719-471-1717. You can also visit their website at https://www.scdsmile.com/.

Porcelain Veneers

We here at Southern Cross Dental want you to feel good about your smile. Besides regular checkups and maintenance, Dr. Navid Rahimpour, D.D.S. and Dr. Faranak Rahimpour, D.D.S. offer cosmetic services such as Porcelain Veneers to our patients.

 

Our veneers are made of strong, sculpted porcelain that is custom made for your teeth. They are made in a professional dental laboratory. In doing so, the veneers perfectly match your teeth shape and color. They are bonded onto the front of your teeth to give you the smile you deserve. Veneers are not permanent dental structures. Like crowns or other dental restorations, they may someday need to be replaced.

 

There are a few reasons to consider porcelain veneers:

• 
  

  Crooked teeth

  
  


• 
  

  Misshapen teeth

  
  


• 
  

  Discolored or stained teeth

  
  


• 
  

  Worn or chipped teeth

  
  


• 
  

  Uneven or unwanted gaps

  
  


• 
  

  Teeth that are too large or small

  
  

At Southern Cross Dental, Drs. Rahimpour will have you come in for two separate appointments.

 

During the first appointment, the surface of the teeth is cleaned to allow for the thickness of the veneer. Then a mold of your teeth will be made. Afterward, you will choose a color for your veneers.

 

At the second appointment, your teeth will be cleaned and a layer of bonding cement is placed between the teeth and veneers. After placement, a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond. Regular checkups and proper oral care will keep your veneers in great shape.

Veneers Transform Your Smile

If your teeth suffer some undesirable defects, such as being cracked, chipped, or discolored due to stains, you may be a candidate for porcelain veneers. Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials that are designed to cover the front side of teeth. They are an ideal choice if you wish to improve your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility and we provide them to Southern Cross Dental patients.

Veneers are an excellent alternative to crowns in many situations because they offer a much more conservative approach to changing a tooth’s color, size or shape. Because dental veneers are an irreversible process, it is critical that you are involved and informed every step of the way. Once the veneers have been placed, one of our doctors will explain the corrective limitations of the procedure.

Porcelain Veneers

The doctors and staff of Southern Cross Dental are often asked about the latest cosmetic fixes for teeth.  There are treatments available for whitening or masking chipped teeth, but veneers are the best way to completely makeover your smile.  Our porcelain veneers are made from a thin ceramic shell and fit over your existing teeth.  Patients with cosmetic issues like staining, cracked or chipped teeth, and even crooked teeth and small gaps can achieve a gorgeous smile with veneers.

Fitting a patient with a new set of veneers is usually completed in two visits.  You and your dentist will discuss the shape and look you desire for your new smile, and your dentist may need to prepare the teeth by buffing or shaping any areas that could cause a problem with fit.  Accurate impressions of the mouth are then taken, and sent to a dental laboratory where your new custom veneers are fabricated.  On your final visit, the teeth are cleaned to ensure a great bond for the veneers.  The shells are then bonded to the surface of your teeth for you to wear home and wear forever!

Cosmetic Dentistry Defined

From subtle changes to major repairs, at Southern Cross Dental we offer a variety of procedures to improve your smile. While traditional dentistry addresses the health of your teeth and gums, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance of your teeth, mouth, and smile as a whole. Today, cosmetic dentistry is more popular than ever, from whitening and shaping to closing spaces and replacing teeth. But before you decide to undergo any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to know what you can expect during the process.

At Southern Cross Dental, some of our cosmetic procedures include teeth whitening as well as applying veneers. Teeth whitening is a common and popular chemical process that brightens teeth that have become discolored or stained. Depending on the patient’s preference, this can be performed by one of our doctor’s in-office or in the comfort of your own home. Veneers, on the other hand, are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. They are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth to change the color or shape of your teeth.

Veneers

If you are insecure about your smile due to gaps, cracks, persistent stains, misalignment or other issues with your teeth, veneers can provide a way for you to transform your smile into one you will be proud to show off. Made of ceramic or porcelain, veneers are thin shells that cover your existing tooth structure and allow you to completely redesign and reshape your smile. In Colorado Springs, CO, Drs. Navid and Faranak Rahimpour of Southern Cross Dental frequently uses veneers to help patients increase their confidence.

Transforming your smile with veneers usually only takes two to three appointments. During your first appointment, you and your doctor will discuss the shape and look of the smile you would like to achieve. The dentist will then prepare your teeth for your veneers by removing a small amount of enamel. This ensures that they will fit comfortably and feel natural. Once your teeth are prepared, Dr. Rahimpour will take an impression of your mouth to be used for fabricating your veneers. The process takes between one to two weeks and is done in a lab of the highest standards. While you wait for your permanent veneers, you will be provided with temporary ones. Then at your next appointment, your permanent veneers will be bonded to your teeth to create the attractive smile you’ve always wanted.

If there are certain things you don’t like about your teeth, you don’t have to live with them. Everyone should have a smile they love, and Drs. Navid and Faranak Rahimpour of Southern Cross Dental can help. Call (719) 471-1717 to schedule an appointment in Colorado Springs, CO.
