Did you know that your smile is one of the first things someone notices when they meet you? It can also speak volumes about your personality, all the way from how content you are to how capable you are.

As a photographer, I learn a lot about the people who stand in front of my camera. Many times, they tell me that they probably won’t be smiling a lot. When I ask them why, two of the most common things I hear are, “my teeth are so yellow!” and “I hate the shape of my teeth.” While some people benefit from professional whitening, there are still many who struggle with stains or flaws that may need a bit more help. If you are one of these many, your Carrollton dentist can offer the solution of porcelain veneers to give you the perfect photo-ready smile. Here are two questions I like to help answer for my clients when we talk about veneers:

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

First of all, you might be surprised to know that many famous celebrities like Zac Effron, Celine Dion, Tom Cruise, and many more, have dental veneers! Porcelain veneers are an amazing cosmetic dental solution that can truly transform your smile in as little as two visits! They are basically thin shells that sit on top of your natural teeth, covering up stains. They can also mask mishappen teeth, giving them the appearance of what a natural tooth is supposed to look like. The best part about choosing dental veneers at your Carrollton dentist, is the high-quality porcelain material they use. It not only looks and feels like your real teeth, but it lasts for decades!

How Does the Veneer Process Work?

It all starts with the prep. Once your dentist has a chance to look at your teeth and talk to you about your end goals, they’ll prepare your teeth for the veneers by slightly altering the surface of the enamel as needed. This means it’s a life-long commitment, so make sure you know what you’re signing up for! While your actual veneers are being made, you’ll wear temporary ones for a week or two. That will also give your dentist a chance to make adjustments. At last, the final product will be bonded to your teeth, and voila! You’ll have a bright and shiny Hollywood smile.

You owe it to yourself to be confident in front of the camera on your big day or for your next event or family photoshoot. You shouldn’t have to be distracted by stained or mishappen teeth. It is my passion to make moments into memories for each of my clients, and I want you to feel as confident as possible with the smile of your dreams for each photograph.
