When it comes to getting the smile of your dreams, there are plenty of ways to go about it. Since there are so many options to consider, it's important that you visit our cosmetic dentistry center for a personalized consultation. During this process, we will be able to find the right treatment option for you and your needs.

Right now we want to look at one particularly versatile and effective option for smile makeover treatment: MAC veneers. These are a different kind of veneer than the traditional ones of which you may be aware.

What are MAC veneers?

MAC veneers are specially crafted veneers that use the latest materials and techniques to improve the appearance of the smile. By getting MAC veneers placed, patients will be able to have the smile that they have always wanted.

Ideal Candidates for MAC Veneers

The best candidates for MAC veneers are people who suffer from various aesthetic problems related to their smile. These issues include:

These dental problems should be predominantly cosmetic in nature. It's also important that patients understand the risks and benefits involved in MAC veneers treatment as this will give them a good understanding of the treatment process.

How are MAC veneers different from traditional porcelain veneers?

While MAC veneers are able to accomplish the same things as porcelain veneers, there are some important differences between them.

For one, MAC veneers are two to three times as durable as traditional porcelain veneers, which means that they will last longer and will be less likely to require repair from general wear and tear. In addition, the dental lab technicians who craft the MAC veneers use up to 16 different shades of white to match the color of your teeth seamlessly. Traditional porcelain veneers tend to only use four shades of white.

In essence, MAC veneers are just a better idea for dental health and dental aesthetics.

The MAC Veneers Procedure

During the MAC veneers procedure, the teeth are carefully prepped so that the MAC veneer will fit, which means the removal of a very small amount of tooth structure. Once this is done, an impression is taken. This impression is sent to the dental lab where the MAC veneers are fabricated. In the meantime, patients will wear a temporary veneer or veneers. When the MAC veneer is ready, it's checked one last time for fit before being secured in place.

Other Options for Advanced Dental Care Treatment

While MAC veneers are able to accomplish a lot, they cannot do it all. That's why we'll be sure to look into all of your options for advanced cosmetic dentistry care. By using porcelain veneers in combination with other treatments, we can perform a full smile makeover that will help you look your absolute best.
