What Are Dental Veneers?
A dental veneer is a thin shell of material the dentist uses to cover the front surfaces of natural teeth. Veneers can be made of porcelain, ceramics, and composite, but porcelain most closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth.
What Problems Can Veneers Fix?
Porcelain veneers can cover or conceal numerous aesthetic imperfections, including:
- Chips, breaks, and fractures
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Mild misalignments or slightly crooked teeth
- Worn down teeth
- Teeth with size or shape discrepancies
- Discoloration and stains that won’t go away with teeth whitening
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
- Provide natural tooth appearance
- Gums tolerate porcelain well
- Stain-resistant
- Customized color selection to match teeth
- Minimal enamel reshaping
- Strong and attractive
- Low maintenance
- Painless and easy procedure
- Lifespan is 10–15 years if well cared for
What Does the Veneer Process Involve?
Your dentist starts by discussing your oral health and aesthetic goals, ensuring veneers are suitable for your smile. We then examine your mouth, take x-rays, and take impressions of your teeth. Next, we offer a numbing agent to reduce discomfort and prepare the tooth by reshaping its surface so the veneer can fit perfectly over the surface.
After reshaping the enamel, we take an impression of the tooth so we can create your final veneer. When the veneer is complete, we bond the veneer to the tooth using dental cement and make any final adjustments to the shape and fit. Now you’re ready to enjoy your new smile!
