Veneers
Did you know that most smile makeovers you see on TV are created using porcelain or zirconia veneers? If you have less than perfect teeth, our dental veneers offer a quick and conservative cosmetic dentistry solution to restore your smile and confidence. You'll love the instant, stunning results!
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are minimally invasive restorations designed to correct and protect damaged or worn teeth without the need to resort to complex procedures or dental surgery. The wafer-thin porcelain shells will cover the front surfaces of your teeth to mask any imperfections. The results are incredibly natural while providing strength and resilience comparable to your tooth enamel.
Veneers are durable, often lasting up to 20 years. They are stain-resistant and mimic the light reflecting properties of natural teeth. Your dental veneers will perfectly contour your teeth, dramatically improving your smile.
How Do Veneers Help Your Smile?
Veneers offer a more conservative approach than many other restorations. They do not require extensive tooth shaping before the procedure like dental crowns do while providing a stronger and more aesthetic dentistry alternative. They come in different shades, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Cosmetic veneers address a variety of dental problems affecting one’s smile. They work well to correct gaps between teeth, poorly shaped or crooked teeth, chipped or broken teeth, teeth worn from wear or grinding, stained, yellow, or discolored teeth, a gummy smile, and stained or unattractive tooth fillings. With our affordable veneers, you will enjoy a durable solution, immediate results, and a perfect, dazzling smile!
What Is the Procedure?
Your aesthetic dentistry procedure will typically require two to three visits. We will clean your teeth, determine the correct shade of your restoration, then we will remove a thin layer of your tooth enamel. We will make an impression of your teeth that a dental laboratory will use to fabricate your restoration. We will place temporary veneers on your teeth while waiting for your permanent ones to be ready.
When your veneers are ready, we will remove the temporary ones and clean your teeth before cementing on your new restorations. We will use a curing light to help attach your veneers to your tooth structure. You will love your new, transformed smile!
How to Care for Your Veneers
You will need to care for your veneers just like you do for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and floss daily. Make sure to avoid biting down on hard foods or objects to prevent chipping your veneers. If you grind your teeth in your sleep, a condition known as bruxism, you can damage your restorations along with your natural teeth. In this case, A custom-fitted dental mouthguard can provide the needed protection.
Make sure to schedule your routine checkups and cleanups to maintain healthy veneers. Caring for your restorations will ensure they last for many years!
