The Gorgeous, Straight Smile You Want
Hide Cosmetic Tooth Imperfections
Porcelain veneers are a great cosmetic procedure that allows you to get the gorgeous, even smile you always wanted. They cover up imperfections, and last for many years. If you want to find out if you would be a good candidate for porcelain veneers, give us a call at the office. We will set up a consultation with one of our doctors to take a look at your smile to see how we can achieve the smile of your dreams.
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are super thin sheets of porcelain that are placed on your teeth to cover imperfections in your smile. They are great at hiding all sorts of problems, such as chips, cracks, and discoloration. Teeth that have been worn down over time are also good candidates for dental veneers.
The Procedure
Veneers take a few appointments to be placed. First, you need to have your teeth examined. Then a small bit of your teeth will be shaved off to make room for the veneers. Once the tooth has been prepared, a mold is made that will be used to create the veneers. We send the mold to our dental lab who crafts the veneers.
While you are waiting for the veneers to be made, we will place temporary veneers on your teeth. When we receive your veneers from the lab, it will be time to come back in to see us. We will take the temporary veneers off and place the permanent veneers on your teeth. Any imperfections or uneven spots will be buffed, and your veneers will then be cemented in place.
Caring for Porcelain Veneers
Your veneers should last you anywhere from 5–15 years, depending on how careful you are with them. The more protective you can be of them, the longer they are going to last. Think of veneers as a piece of glass. If you have thick glass, it can withstand a lot of abuse. However, the thinner the sheet of glass, the less damage it can take before it breaks. The same goes with your veneers.
You need to brush them and floss, same as you would with your natural teeth. Plus, your doctor at Excellent Dental Specialists is going to check on them each time you come in to see us. Porcelain veneers can still stain and chip the same way your natural teeth do, so be careful when wearing your veneers. Avoid drinking coffee and wine on a regular basis, and don’t eat a lot of staining foods like curry and beets, without making sure to brush afterward. These simple choices can lead to increased longevity for your veneers.
