Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from tooth-colored materials such as porcelain or composite resin. They are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, providing a natural-looking and long-lasting solution to various cosmetic dental issues. Veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and can be matched to the color of your surrounding teeth for a seamless appearance.
Our dental practice offers custom-made veneers to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution that can address a wide range of concerns, including gaps between teeth, chipped or broken teeth, discolorations, and minor alignment issues. Our skilled professionals will work with you to design veneers that perfectly complement your natural teeth and enhance your overall appearance.
The process of getting veneers typically involves three steps. First, you will have a consultation with our dental team to discuss your goals and determine if veneers are the best option for you. If you decide to proceed, we will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the thickness of the veneers. Next, we will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental laboratory where your custom veneers will be fabricated. Finally, you will return to our office for the placement of your veneers, which will be bonded to your teeth using a special dental cement and light beam.
Caring for your veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, as this can damage your veneers. If you grind your teeth at night, consider wearing a night guard to protect your veneers and natural teeth from excessive wear.
With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or longer before needing to be replaced.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the veneer process, as the procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia.
Yes, veneers can be custom-colored to match your surrounding teeth or to provide a brighter, more attractive smile, depending on your preferences.
