Treatment for Porcelain Veneers
During your initial consultation, our doctors will discuss your goals and assess whether porcelain veneers are the right choice for you. We'll collaborate closely to create mockups that illustrate how your smile will look after the treatment. If you're pleased with the design and ready to move forward, we will carefully remove the minimal amount of enamel needed to fit the veneers. Utilizing our CEREC machine, we'll take impressions and fabricate your veneers from a single block of porcelain. This advanced technology allows you to enjoy the benefits of porcelain veneers in just one visit to our office. Once your custom restorations are ready, we'll bond them to the front surfaces of your teeth, ensuring a perfect match with the color and texture of your natural teeth for a seamless, natural-looking smile.
Am I a Suitable Candidate for Veneers?
Porcelain veneers can be an excellent solution for small cracks or chips in your teeth, as well as for teeth that are smaller or don't align with the rest of your smile. They can enhance your dental aesthetics and complement your facial features. Additionally, if you have intrinsic stains that don't respond to whitening treatments, veneers may be a great option.
It's important to understand that veneers are primarily a cosmetic treatment and won't resolve significant orthodontic issues, decay, or tooth loss. Before proceeding with veneers, your teeth must be strong enough to support them. Our office will perform a thorough oral health evaluation to determine if you're a suitable candidate. If you have any existing oral health issues, we will address those before starting the veneer treatment.
Advantages of Veneers
Veneers offer a lifelike and durable solution, along with many benefits for those choosing this treatment. Made from advanced materials, these veneers closely mimic the natural appearance of teeth, including their translucency and color. Achieving their desired smile often leads to increased self-esteem for patients. A study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that individuals who received porcelain veneers reported a significant boost in confidence and overall quality of life.
DURABLE
Porcelain veneers are made from durable, stain-resistant porcelain. Unlike porous materials, porcelain does not absorb stains, allowing for a long-lasting and vibrant smile. For an extra brightening effect, consider complementing them with teeth whitening treatments.
COLOR MATCHING
To achieve optimal color matching, many patients choose to undergo teeth whitening before getting veneers. This process ensures that the veneers blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, which will have been enhanced to a bright, new shade.
LONG TERM
Veneers are highly durable, typically lasting around 10 years when properly maintained.
