See Your Smile Before You Decide
Wouldn’t it be amazing to see your future smile before starting treatment? At Tindal Prosthodontics, we make this a reality with our Virtual Smile Design technology. This innovative approach takes the guesswork out of cosmetic dentistry, allowing you to preview your new smile and collaborate with Dr. Ben Tindal to ensure it meets your expectations.
How Virtual Smile Design Works
Consultation Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Ben Tindal. During this appointment, you’ll discuss your goals and concerns. Whether you’re looking to address discoloration, close gaps, correct minor alignment issues, or achieve a brighter, more confident smile, this is your chance to share your vision.
Smile Preview Using advanced digital imaging technology, Dr. Tindal captures a high-quality photograph of your current smile. He then creates a digital mock-up that shows how veneers or other treatments can transform your appearance. This step gives you a realistic preview of your enhanced smile, allowing you to envision the final result before committing to the procedure.
Collaboration Unlike traditional methods, Virtual Smile Design puts you in control. After reviewing your digital preview, you can provide feedback, request adjustments, or explore alternative options. You can even take the image home to get input from family and friends. This collaborative process ensures you feel completely confident and excited about your new smile.
Turning Vision into Reality Once you’re thrilled with your virtual smile, Dr. Tindal begins the process of bringing it to life. Using the digital design as a guide, he meticulously crafts your veneers to match your desired look. With precision and expertise, your dream smile becomes a reality.
The Veneers Process with Virtual Design Technology
At Tindal Prosthodontics, we integrate Virtual Smile Design into every step of the veneers process for a truly seamless experience:
​
Step 1: Design Your Virtual Smile Design serves as the blueprint for your veneers. Each veneer is customized to complement your facial features, ensuring a natural and harmonious appearance.
​
Step 2: Preparation To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is gently removed. This creates space for the veneers to fit perfectly and securely. Detailed impressions of your teeth are taken to ensure precise fabrication.
​
Step 3: Fabrication Your custom veneers are crafted using state-of-the-art materials that provide exceptional durability and lifelike aesthetics. Each veneer is designed to mimic the translucency and texture of natural teeth.
​
Step 4: Placement Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Tindal carefully bonds them to your teeth using advanced dental adhesives. He ensures that each veneer is perfectly aligned, polished, and comfortable, completing your smile transformation.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are one of the most transformative cosmetic dentistry options available. At Tindal Prosthodontics, we ensure that every veneer is tailored to meet your unique needs, offering a host of benefits that go beyond aesthetics:
Improved Aesthetics
Veneers create a brighter, straighter, and more symmetrical appearance, enhancing the harmony of your smile. They are particularly effective for correcting discoloration that doesn’t respond to traditional teeth whitening or for concealing worn or misshapen teeth.
Quick Results
Unlike orthodontic treatments or other lengthy procedures, veneers can deliver a complete smile makeover in just two visits. This makes them ideal for patients looking for a fast and dramatic transformation.
Durability
Porcelain veneers are renowned for their strength and longevity. With proper care, they can last 10–15 years or even longer, providing a reliable and enduring solution for smile enhancement.
Stain Resistance
Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco. This ensures that your smile remains vibrant and white for years to come.
Custom Fit
Every veneer is meticulously crafted to fit your unique dental anatomy and meet your smile goals. This ensures a natural, seamless appearance that blends perfectly with your surrounding teeth.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
The preparation process involves removing only a thin layer of enamel, preserving the majority of your natural tooth structure. This makes veneers a conservative treatment option compared to other restorative procedures.
Natural Appearance
High-quality porcelain veneers mimic the translucency and texture of natural teeth, creating a lifelike result. The color, shape, and size of the veneers are carefully chosen to complement your facial features and overall appearance.
Strength and Functionality
Veneers not only enhance aesthetics but also reinforce weak or damaged teeth. They add strength to worn enamel, ensuring your smile is both beautiful and functional.
Versatility
Veneers address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:
-
Stubborn discoloration
-
Chips and cracks
-
Minor misalignments
-
Gaps between teeth
-
Teeth that are unevenly sized or shaped
Boosted Confidence
The psychological benefits of a radiant smile can’t be understated. Many patients report feeling more self-assured in both personal and professional settings after their veneers are placed.
Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Veneers?
Choosing a prosthodontist like Dr. Ben Tindal ensures that your veneers are created and placed with the highest level of expertise. Prosthodontists have specialized training that makes them uniquely qualified to handle both cosmetic and functional dental challenges.
​
1. Advanced Training
Prosthodontists complete an additional three years of post-dental school training, focusing on restorative and cosmetic procedures. This specialized education equips them to handle even the most complex cases with precision.
​
2. Precision and Expertise Veneers are an art and a science. Prosthodontists have the technical skill to create veneers that fit perfectly, look natural, and function seamlessly within your bite.
​
3. Managing Complex Cases If your smile requires more than cosmetic improvement—such as addressing worn enamel, missing teeth, or misaligned jaws—a prosthodontist can provide comprehensive care. They ensure that every aspect of your oral health is considered during treatment.
​
4. Comprehensive Care Prosthodontists offer more than veneers. They provide a full spectrum of smile restoration solutions, including dental implants, crowns, bridges, and full-mouth rehabilitation. This ensures your smile enhancement is cohesive and complete.
​
5. High-Quality Results With their advanced training and attention to detail, prosthodontists are renowned for delivering outstanding, natural-looking results that last.
