Are you looking for a way to improve your smile? Dental veneers may be the solution for you. Veneers are thin shells made of either porcelain or composite resin material that are bonded to the teeth. They match the shade and color of your natural teeth, giving patients a perfect natural-looking white smile.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Typically, veneers are used for patients that have misshapen, stained, uneven, or chipped teeth. Veneers are not permanent, but they are durable and last between 10-15 years. The life of veneers depends on how much wear and tear they face over time.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?
Patients that have discoloration from multiple dental procedures are typically good candidates for veneers. In addition, patients that have stains from food or prescription drugs can also benefit from veneers. Veneers can be used to create an even smile, close gaps between teeth, and look natural in the mouth.
How Are Veneers Applied?
Veneers typically take more than one appointment in our office. We require a preliminary consultation to discuss each patient’s goals and to determine a customized treatment plan. Our team will take x-rays to help us review your teeth in detail and determine what type of veneers are best.
When patients return to our office, a portion of the tooth enamel is removed to prepare the teeth for the veneers. Molds of your teeth are taken and are sent out to a lab to prepare the veneers. Once the veneers are ready, our team ensures the veneers fit properly. We also check the color to ensure they match perfectly with your natural teeth.
The teeth are thoroughly cleaned to ensure the veneer adheres properly to the tooth’s surface. A special cement material is used to place the veneers on the teeth. An ultraviolet light is used to harden and help set the veneer quickly. The veneer process takes a few weeks to complete, and patients should expect multiple appointments.
Types of Veneers
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are durable and are made out of ceramic. These veneers can be matched exactly to the shade of your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers preserve as much of your existing tooth as possible and give patients a long-lasting smile.
- Lumineers: Lumineers are another type of porcelain veneer that can help to improve a patient’s smile. This type of veneer requires minimal tooth preparation, and the material is thinner and easily applied compared to traditional porcelain veneers. Placement of Lumineers can be done without injections or anesthesia, and give patients the same benefits and long-lasting results.
- Composite Resin: Composite resin veneers give the same results and benefits compared to traditional porcelain veneers. This type of veneer helps with chips, teeth length, and gaps between teeth. Composite resin veneers are less expensive, making this a budget-friendly choice for patients. The life of a composite resin veneer is not as long as traditional porcelain veneers. Composite resin veneers are applied in a similar fashion with minimal tooth preparation.
- CEREC Veneers: CEREC veneers (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) allows our doctor to create and design veneers for patients using our in-office milling unit. With CEREC veneers, there is no waiting, and the veneers can be made right in our office. This type of veneer is quick, durable, and long-lasting. CEREC veneers give patients a beautiful white smile in just one visit.
- Zirconia: Zirconia veneers are typically used for patients that have severely decayed or damaged teeth. This type of veneer is helpful for patients that are looking for an option that is stronger than porcelain veneers. Zirconia is typically used for back teeth, and this type of material can add strength to teeth to prevent wear and tear.
