What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are very thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the beauty of your smile. Our dentist may recommend dental veneers to correct several types of smile imperfections. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile because the color and translucence of porcelain are a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel.
Porcelain is stain-resistant as well, so your smile will stay bright for years to come. Resin veneers can also be matched to your natural tooth color. With dental veneers, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you will love to show off.
Who is a Candidate for Dental Veneers?
Our dentist may recommend dental veneers if you would like to improve the appearance of your smile. Custom-made veneers can be used for just one tooth or for your entire smile. We may suggest veneers to:
- Close large spaces and gaps between teeth
- Whiten teeth that are severely stained or discolored
- Improve the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth
- Correct slightly crooked teeth
- Restore teeth that are broken, chipped, worn, or fractured
Dental veneers are an excellent option for many people looking to improve their smiles. However, they are not suitable for patients with significant tooth decay, gum disease, or insufficient enamel. With a simple dental consultation, we will be able to determine if veneers are the right choice for you.
What is the Procedure Like?
There are several steps involved with getting dental veneers. Initially, we will conduct a consultation to discuss your goals and examine your oral health. Then, we will create a treatment plan to help meet your needs. The next steps include preparing the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. We will also need to take digital impressions of your teeth to create the perfect veneers.
Once your final veneers are ready, we will permanently bond them to your teeth using dental cement or resin. This will ensure an even and natural smile. You won’t have to worry about your veneers slipping or shifting. It is likely that you will need a follow-up appointment to make sure that your veneers are in good shape and fit perfectly.
