What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that are designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth. Securely cemented to each tooth, veneers are used in cosmetic dentistry to improve the appearance of chipped, discolored, or uneven teeth, hiding imperfections and leaving patients with a brighter smile. Porcelain veneers can close gaps between the teeth and even make relatively straight teeth appear straighter. Additionally, porcelain veneers are thoughtfully crafted to mimic the appearance of natural teeth and are gum-tolerant and resistant to most stains. Whether your teeth have been damaged by tooth trauma or decay, or you just want to change the visible appearance of your teeth, Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry can transform your smile with porcelain veneers!
What To Expect During The Veneers Process
During your initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to speak with one of our dentists about your goals and determine whether veneers are the right option for you. Our dental team will evaluate your oral health, talk through your desired cosmetic changes, and take impressions or digital scans of your teeth to begin creating your custom veneers.
During your second visit, your teeth will be gently prepared for veneer placement, and our dentists will fit you with temporary veneers. These temporary fitting allows you to preview the look and feel of your veneer. This crucial step allows both you and our dental team to make adjustments to the shape, size, and color of your veneers before the permanent ones are crafted.
Once your custom porcelain veneers are ready, you’ll return for your third and final appointment. During this visit, our dentist will carefully bond your custom veneers to your tooth, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fit. After placement, our dentist will make any final refinements for optimal comfort and appearance!
Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
What Can Veneers Fix?
Rather than physically correcting tooth imperfections, porcelain veneers cover teeth with visible issues. As such, veneers are best used to cover cosmetically imperfect but otherwise healthy teeth. If your teeth have more significant damage that affects their integrity, function, or health, then another tooth restoration treatment may be ideal. Dental veneers can be used to treat a wide variety of cosmetic tooth issues, including chipped teeth, uneven teeth, gapped teeth, stained teeth, discolored teeth, pitted teeth, worn-down teeth, crooked teeth, teeth with an irregular surface, and so much more.
Do Veneers Look Natural?
When you’re considering veneers, it’s only natural that you might be curious how your smile will compare before and after veneers are placed. Will your veneers stand out from the rest of your smile? Not at all! When you come to Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry, you’ll be pleased to know that your dentists designs each of your veneers to mimic your existing tooth enamel. So there is no need to worry about any abnormalities that might distinguish a tooth with a veneer from the surrounding teeth without veneers. The result of your treatment will be perfectly natural-looking and will show a marked improvement in your smile’s appearance!
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers are designed to be long-lasting solutions for enhancing the appearance of your smile. With proper care, good oral hygiene, and routine checkups with our dentist, porcelain veneers can last for many years. At Van Dyke General and Implant Dentistry, we use top-quality materials and advanced bonding techniques to help ensure your veneers remain strong, secure, and natural-looking over time. During your consultation, our dental team can explain how best to care for your veneers!
