Are you looking to improve the appearance of your front teeth? Dental veneers are widely used to improve the appearance of front teeth and are a much more conservative option than a full dental crown. Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of staining, large gaps, large fillings, chipped teeth, or overall shape. Veneers are a thin covering over the front and biting end of the tooth used to restore the beauty of a smile. Over the years Drs. James and Jamie Shepler have helped many patients who opted for veneers and now have the confidence to smile again. If you're interested in veneers, set up your first appointment today with North Main Dental Inc in Dayton, OH.
Dental veneers are made in a lab from long-lasting porcelain materials. The shade can be chosen to any desired color to whiten the appearance of your smile. Dental veneers are usually placed on the anterior, or front teeth, where the chewing forces are not as hard as the back teeth. The process of placing veneers is relatively easy, requiring only two dental appointments. In some cases, only one appointment is needed. It depends on the fabrication process.
The first appointment is to “prep” the teeth and takes an impression to be sent to a lab to fabricate the veneers. Veneers are fairly conservative in the preparation as it requires a small amount of space to be created on the face (front), bottom, and sides of each tooth to allow space for the veneer to be placed and look natural. You will leave the office with temporary veneers for the next week or two while the permanent veneers are being made.
The second appointment is to place the veneers and make minor adjustments if needed. What a difference it makes in the appearance of the teeth! If you’re interested in learning more, give Drs. James and Jamie Shepler a call today! Contact North Main Dental Inc in Dayton, OH, at (937) 275-0076.

Offered Treatments
Zoom! Teeth Whitening: Effectively bleaching a variety of dental stains, Zoom! chairside whitening is one of today's most popular cosmetic dentistry services. Accomplished in just one hour, this safe whitening process lifts organic matter from tooth enamel, leaving it bright and shiny. The results are amazing!
Composite Resin Bonding: Dr. Shepler uses a tooth-colored mixture of glass particles and acrylic to reshape and strengthen chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth. The material is layered and hardened with a special light, creating a bond which lasts.
Porcelain Veneers: These shells of dental porcelain camouflage the front of teeth which have more extensive cosmetic problems such as large chips or stains that don't respond to whitening. Veneers are permanent, strong and realistic, blending in well with the rest of your smile.
White Fillings: These restorations rebuild decayed teeth with seamless, tooth-colored composite resin. Unlike metal fillings, they bond right to existing tooth structure and actually flex every time you bite and chew.

Some dental problems are easier to address than others. If you have a cavity or severe tooth decay, your dentist will most likely perform a root canal or use a filling if the cavity is not too large. Problem solved. Crooked and misaligned teeth can be fixed with orthodontics, and even a lifelong smoking habit no longer has to mean yellow, severely stained teeth, thanks to the ubiquity of professional teeth whitening treatments.
Sure, no one wants to get a root canal or braces, but they are straightforward solutions to some of the most common dental and oral health problems. However for many people, smaller problems like cracks, chips, discoloration, and misshaped teeth make up the smaller, "quality of life" type of dental problems that can make a person hate their teeth, which in turn can affect their overall levels of confidence and self-esteem as a result.

So what is a person to do when they need to fix a few teeth, but don't need something as extensive as a dental crown or Invisalign? The answer is dental veneers. Made up of a thin and durable layer of porcelain similar to the layer of enamel on a natural tooth, the dentists at North Main Dental in Dayton, OH use veneers to fix a number of cosmetic issues including small chips and cracks, and for minor tooth reshaping and discoloration. Veneers are ideal for the type of surface corrections that can drastically improve a person's smile.
