How Veneers Can Transform Your Smile

You no longer need to hide your smile because of gaps, chips, stains, or misshapen teeth! With veneers, you can easily correct your teeth’s imperfections to help you have a more confident, beautiful smile. Veneers are natural in appearance, and they are a perfect alternative for patients wanting to make minor adjustments to the look and feel of their smile.

Step 1

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials (such as porcelain) designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. The first step in any procedure is to do a full examination of your teeth and mouth and then review with you the different options to give you a beautiful smile.

Step 2

To prepare your teeth for veneers, your dentist may need to conservatively prepare your tooth to achieve the desired aesthetic result. Next, your dentist will create a unique model of your teeth. This model is sent to the dental technician to create your veneers. In the meantime, a temporary set of veneers will be prepared and placed.

Step 3

When your permanent veneers are ready, you’ll come back for your placement! Your dentist will remove the temporary veneers and replace them with the final set. Once placed, you’ll be pleased to see that veneers look like your natural teeth! While veneers are stain-resistant, your doctor may recommend that you avoid certain beverages and tobacco to maintain the beauty of your new smile.

Back

Veneers are a permanent cosmetic procedure. They need a thin layer of enamel to be removed from your teeth prior to placement and are bonded to the remaining tooth structure. For this reason, only a trained dental professional can make repairs or adjustments to your veneers.

The lifespan of your veneer depends on the type you choose, and your veneers will eventually need to be repaired or replaced just like any other dental work. A set of ceramic veneers will last 20 years or more, which is why we recommend it to our patients.

Generally, no. Patients who receive 2-4 veneers typically experience no discomfort. However, patients who receive eight or more veneers may experience some sensitivity or tenderness in the gums. Your dentist will take every precaution during your veneer preparation and administer local anesthetic or sedation as needed to ensure your comfort.

On average, you can expect the process of getting your veneers to take 3-4 weeks. You'll visit our office 2-3 times during this time, from your initial consultation to the final fitting and application. While you wait for your final veneers to come back from the dental lab.

While there are many options available to today's patient, our practice offers veneers made from high-quality porcelain. We choose porcelain for its strength, durability, and lifelike appearance, providing years of lasting smiles.
