What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are wafer-thin porcelain sheaths that are placed on the front surfaces of your teeth to mask tooth flaws and imperfections, delivering your ideal smile. These lifelike restorations are made to match the color, sheen, and texture of your natural teeth for seamless results.
Porcelain veneers correct most common cosmetic flaws, including chipped, cracked, oddly shaped, worn, misaligned, or otherwise not-so-perfect teeth. They offer an excellent solution to close minor gaps between teeth and cover teeth with severe staining that does not respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments. Porcelain veneers can create a more even bite, leaving you with a smile that makes you want to smile.
Why Choose Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers offer an easy solution to transform your smile. Once in place, these versatile restorations correct a tooth's color, size, shape, length, or overall appearance with stunning results.
Porcelain veneers require less enamel removal than other restorations, such as dental crowns, making them a more conservative cosmetic dentistry solution. The porcelain material is stain-resistant, giving you the confidence that your smile will stay white and bright for years to come. Porcelain veneers provide strength and resilience comparable to your natural tooth structure while delivering flawless results.
What Is the Porcelain Veneers Procedure?
The process of placing porcelain veneers is relatively simple. We will remove a small amount of enamel to make room for your new restorations. Next, we will make impressions of your smile to send to a dental lab for fabrication. We will place temporary veneers for protection as you wait.
During an upcoming appointment, we will ensure your new custom veneers provide a perfect fit and color match to your natural teeth and then use dental cement to bond them in place. We will make any adjustments needed for a comfortable and natural look.
Caring for Dental Veneers
Once your veneers are in place, it is important to care for them well to ensure they continue brightening your smile. Brush and floss as you usually would. However, make sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent damage to your restorations. Avoid chewing on objects such as pen caps or eating hard foods and candies because, just like your natural tooth enamel, your veneers can chip. If you grind and clench your teeth during sleep, a night guard can help protect your restorations and your smile.
Make sure to keep up with your regular, twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings. Dr. Leon and her team will monitor your oral health and ensure your veneers stay in tip-top shape. With proper care, your porcelain veneers will enhance your smile for many years to come!
