Porcelain Veneers
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are incredibly beneficial in transforming your whole smile. If you’re unhappy with your smile because it’s stained, discolored, chipped or uneven-looking, veneers can essentially cover these problems up. Porcelain veneers are thin and very lightweight, but they’re durable and can last for a decade or longer. Because veneers are professionally made and crafted specific to each patient, they look natural and completely realistic.
Why are Porcelain Veneers necessary?
You might want or need veneers if you’re unhappy with your current smile. It’s not uncommon for patients to request veneers before a big wedding, reunion or prior to having other procedures done. Veneers can cover up an array of flaws such as discoloration, stains, unevenness, chips, cracks and spaces. They are more suited for adult patients who want a quick, easy and long-lasting cosmetic option.
Who’s a candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
We can conduct an exam to determine if you might benefit from veneers. They are most suited for adults who have otherwise healthy teeth. We will ensure that none of your existing teeth have decay or other problems before the veneers are placed. Most patients who would like veneers and request that they be placed can easily have the procedure done. The actual process of placing the veneers is noninvasive when compared to other options.
What occurs during the Porcelain Veneer procedure?
The very fronts of your teeth are buffed to make room for the new porcelain veneers. Impressions are used to make the new restorations. You’ll be scheduled to come in for a second appointment to have the veneers placed. Slight adjustments will be made to ensure that the veneers fit and look completely natural. You can treat your veneers as you would any of the other teeth in your mouth. It is a good idea to come into the office if any veneer shows signs of wear or has become loose. Your veneers should last for a decade or longer before replacement is recommended.
