Instant orthodontics using porcelain veneers can make a beautiful smile a reality in as little as three dental visits! To see if instant orthodontics is right for you, we welcome you to schedule a consultation with Phoenix cosmetic dentist Todd Holton, DMD. In the meantime, here is an overview of the instant orthodontic procedure and what it can do for you.

What Are Instant Orthodontics?

Instant orthodontics refers to the use of porcelain veneers to create even, perfectly straight teeth. With traditional orthodontics, the teeth are gradually moved into alignment with the use of braces; braces can be used to correct minor to severe cases of tooth crowding or gaps between the teeth. The instant orthodontics treatment involves the application of porcelain veneers to produce a uniform and straight appearance; this treatment can be performed on patients with spaces between the teeth and minor tooth crowding.

The instant orthodontics process can be completed in just three dental appointments. When patients undergo the instant orthodontics treatment, they will schedule a consultative appointment to discuss their aesthetic goals and find out if they are good candidates for treatment. Dr. Holton will discuss how veneers can be used to improve the aesthetics of the smile, and keep the patient's goals and facial features in mind when designing the specifications for the veneers. If the patient is not a good candidate for instant orthodontics treatment, Dr. Holton will recommend an alternative treatment such as braces or Clear Aligner Therapy®.

Patients will then attend a treatment appointment in which a small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth, impressions are taken, and temporary veneers are placed. The impressions, along with Dr. Holton's design specifications, are used to assist dental technicians in crafting the custom porcelain veneers. Once the porcelain veneers are ready, a final dental appointment will be scheduled to apply the veneers. Once the veneers are placed, the treatment is complete, resulting in a gorgeous, straight smile in a matter of weeks.

The Advantages of Instant Orthodontics

Instant orthodontics has many advantages. For our patients in Phoenix, porcelain veneers as instant orthodontics provides immediate results. Here are just a few reasons why our patients are choosing instant orthodontics:

• Immediate Results: With porcelain veneers, you will see the finished results immediately after application of the porcelain veneers.
• Comfort: Porcelain veneers are virtually painless and once they're placed, you will forget they are even there.
• Convenience: Instant orthodontics treatment only requires a dental visit to make impressions of the teeth followed by a visit to apply the veneers. Once the veneers are bonded to the teeth, you can maintain your regular dental check-up schedule.
• Aesthetics: With instant orthodontics, the overall aesthetics of your smile can be improved. Porcelain veneers can be crafted to any size, shape, or color so not only will you have a straight smile, you will also have evenly shaped teeth.
• Hygienic: Porcelain veneers are easy to care for; patients can maintain a regular oral health care routine that includes brushing twice a day, flossing once a day, and visiting the dentist every six months for a check-up.
