What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells that sit on top of your existing teeth, helping them appear more aesthetically pleasing while looking natural in your smile. Veneers are used to resolve cosmetic issues and can help make you feel more confident in the appearance of your smile. Our dentist designs your veneers using ceramic materials, which he matches to your existing teeth for a realistic look and feel.

Our Veneer Placement Process

When you decide to get veneer treatment, there will be an initial consultation to see if veneers are an option for restoring the aesthetics of your smile. Once qualified, there is a process that takes place over the course of two office visits.

First Appointment: In your initial visit, we will confirm which teeth you want treatment on. Our team will create molds of those teeth for the most accurate fittings for your veneers. We will perform a slight buffing of enamel to create a surface for the ceramic to adhere to. Our process prioritizes trying to preserve as much of your real tooth as possible.
Second Appointment: During your return visit, our team cleans your teeth for the most secure placement of the porcelain shells. Once cleaned, we prepare to smooth the surface to place the ceramic shells. Finally, your custom veneers are secured to your teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile. We'll check to verify that they feel comfortable and fit well within your mouth before cementing them in place.

Caring For Your Veneers

The process of caring for veneers is much like what you do for your regular teeth. With regular flossing, the use of a soft-bristled brush, and non-abrasive toothpaste, your veneers will look great while keeping bacteria away. Caring for your veneers keeps your treatment looking natural while preventing infections and gum disease from spreading and affecting your teeth's appearance.

Porcelain Veneer FAQs

When considering a cosmetic dental procedure, there are a lot of things to consider beforehand. Feel free to call our office and ask any questions you may have about veneers or our practice. Some questions that we have been asked include:

Would I benefit from getting veneers?

If you have extensive staining or discoloration, chipped or worn teeth, uneven spaces, large gaps, or teeth that appear large, small, or uneven, then veneers might be an option for you. A consultation with our dentist can help determine if you are a candidate for veneers.

How long can veneers last?

With proper care, veneers can last for at least a decade. By avoiding biting or chewing hard items or food, you can help extend the life of your veneer treatment. It would also be advisable to avoid heavy consumption of staining foods or drinks, as well as tobacco, as it could change the color of your veneers.

Do I need both upper and lower veneers?

Veneers are known for being applied to the upper teeth, but if you can see your lower teeth when you smile, you may also want to consider having them done on the bottom. You can discuss which veneer options fit your needs.

Are veneers permanent?

Due to the process of placing veneers, you will always need to keep them. If a veneer is damaged or comes off, you will need to have it replaced to maintain the appearance of your smile.
