What Are Veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin shells made from porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, giving you a radiant, symmetrical smile. Veneers are ideal for patients who want a long-lasting cosmetic solution with minimal impact on natural teeth.
What Can Veneers Fix?
Veneers can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
- Teeth that are too small or misshapen
Benefits of Veneers
- Natural Appearance: Custom-made veneers blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers resist staining better than natural enamel.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires minimal removal of tooth enamel.
- Durability: Veneers are strong and can last many years with proper care.
- Immediate Results: Transform your smile in just a few visits.
The Veneer Process
- Consultation and Exam: During your first visit, we’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss your smile goals, and determine if veneers are the right option for you.
- Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to create space for the veneer.
- Impressions: We take precise impressions or 3D scans to ensure the veneers fit perfectly.
- Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed while your custom veneers are being made.
- Veneer Placement: Once your veneers are ready, they are bonded to your teeth and adjusted for a perfect fit.
Caring for Your Veneers
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to maintain your veneers and overall oral health.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with foods that could chip or crack your veneers.
- Routine Dental Visits: Regular checkups ensure your veneers stay in optimal condition.
- Wear a Night Guard (if needed): If you grind your teeth, a night guard will help protect your veneers.
