]]> There are tons of different cosmetic dentistry options you have immediately available when looking to change the appearance of your teeth. As with a lot of cosmetic work, there are certain procedures that are more popular now than they once were. That means some don’t get as much attention as they should. Dental veneers fall into that category. They’re effective in changing a smile, but few people actually know what they are. Let’s take a moment to fix that.

What are they?
Dental veneers are essentially wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are shaped and colored to look just like the outward-facing surface of your real teeth. A dentist has years of experience and schooling in crafting these veneers to look so real that only a professional like Dr. Joe Jeppson can tell a tooth with a veneer from a natural one.

What’s the process like?
You’ll first schedule an appointment with our team here at Jeppson Dental. We’re pleased to offer dental veneers to our patients in the Provo, Utah, area. Once the appointment is set, you’ll be evaluated for how many veneers you need, and measurements will be taken to ensure a proper, exact fit.

Then, once the veneers are created, they’ll be cemented into place and polished. You’ll leave our office with a brand new smile! To set up your appointment today, give us a call at 801-356-7701.

]]> There are many factors that can trigger sensitive teeth and cause you pain. Are you aware of the dangers of sensitive teeth? If not, you have come to the right place! Sensitive teeth are a condition that should be treated as soon as possible.

Sensitive teeth strike when your tooth enamel has become too thin or compromised from gum disease or cavities. Usually, sensitive teeth are a warning sign to seek professional treatment right away. There are many possible causes of sensitive teeth which include worn down tooth enamel, cavities, worn out fillings, an exposed root of a tooth, or a cracked or fractured tooth. Many of these situations can be treated by visiting your dentist.

Sensitive teeth can also begin from too much exposure to over-the-counter teeth-whitening products. In fact, overexposure to the over-the-counter product could result in damaging the enamel on your teeth, which can also cause pain from some of your favorite snacks and drinks. That is why having a professional whiten your teeth is always the safest option.

If you are looking for help from your sensitive teeth, then give us a call today at 801-356-7701. Dr. Joe Jeppson with Jeppson Dental in Provo, Utah, is always happy to review your oral health and give you insight on specific causes to your sensitive teeth problems. So, call us today and let us help you enjoy your smile once again.
