Porcelain Veneers are thin, high-quality shells made of dental porcelain. They are custom-made to fit the front surfaces your teeth. These veneers can improve your smile's appearance by correcting imperfections like chips, cracks and gaps. They also help to conceal discoloration or minor misalignments. Porcelain veneers are a combination of technical and artistic skills. This ensures that the end result is not just functional, but also pleasing to the eye.
Porcelain veneers can effectively treat a wide range of dental imperfections. Among the most common concerns are:
Porcelain veneers are a popular solution for patients of all ages who want to improve their smile. This versatile treatment has many benefits.
1. Quick Transformation
Orthodontic treatments can take up to a year to correct alignment problems. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, can produce dramatic results within just two or three visits.
2. Natural Appearance
Porcelain Veneers are meticulously designed to replicate the natural look of teeth. Dental porcelain reflects the light in a similar way to enamel on teeth, creating a realistic luminous finish.
3. Long-lasting Durability
Although porcelain may appear fragile, it is a very strong material. Veneers can last up to 15 years with proper care.
4. Stain Resistance
Porcelain veneers, unlike natural teeth, are resistant to stains caused by coffee, wine, tea, and other common causes. Your smile will remain beautiful and bright over time.
5. Reduce Your Tooth Decay With Minimal Tooth Reduction
Veneers are less invasive than other cosmetic treatments. They preserve the majority of natural tooth structure.
A comprehensive consultation is the first step in your journey. You will be able to discuss your concerns and goals with your prosthodontist during this consultation. Your teeth and gums will be examined to determine if they are healthy enough to hold veneers. To enhance the final result, if necessary, preparation treatments like teeth whitening and restorative procedures can be recommended.
A small amount of enamel will be removed from your teeth's surface to create room for the veneers. This ensures that the veneers will fit perfectly and look natural. The digital images and impressions are used to create the blueprint for custom veneers.
Temporary veneers can be used to protect teeth, while permanent veneers are created in the dental lab. They also give you a preview of what your new smile will look like.
Your prosthodontist will provide you with impressions and specs. Skilled technicians then create your dental porcelain veneers using these specifications. This process usually takes between one and two weeks.
You'll need to return to our office once your custom veneers have been made. Your prosthodontist checks the color, fit, and shape of each veneer. The veneers will be bonded securely to your teeth after any adjustments are made.
To maximize the appearance and longevity of your veneers, it is important to take proper care. Keep your smile at its best by following these tips:
