North Carolina’s state motto is: Esse quam videri, which means “to be rather than to seem.” Wouldn’t you rather really be happy than just fake it? Wouldn’t you rather really be confident rather than trying to show you’re self-assured? If only you had that bright smile...okay, we can stop that trail of thoughts now because in North Carolina, cosmetic dentists live by that state motto. They want their patients to really be happy, secure and attractive rather then trying to seem so on the outside.

Cosmetic dentists in North Carolina use porcelain veneers to reach that point of satisfaction and happiness. They use porcelain veneers to:

1. Cover stains
2. Hide too much gums
3. Realign crooked teeth
4. Tighten gapped teeth
5. Lengthen or shorten teeth
6. Fix teeth that are broken, smashed, twisted or chipped

In your initial visit with your cosmetic dentist, discuss your aesthetic troubles. Your cosmetic dentist will evaluate the condition of your teeth and smile, and from that evaluation, will formulate a treatment plan. Use this time to talk about the costs of the procedure since they vary from patient to patient.

After this consult, book another appointment. This will be the day your cosmetic dentist prepares you for your veneers. It’s a simple process that involves him/her taking impressions of your teeth to send to the dental lab. There, a lab technician will design your permanent veneers while you go home with temporary ones.

When you return for your next visit, your cosmetic dentist will remove your temps and insert the permanent, porcelain veneers.

And now, you can really live by the North Carolina state motto: you no longer have to pretend to be happy because now you really are happy and satisfied with a healthy, glowing smile.

Esse quam videri.
