What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are very thin shells bonded to the front of a person’s teeth to improve their shape, size, and color. While they can be made from various materials, we are proud to offer porcelain veneers at our office. Porcelain veneers provide a beautiful aesthetic that closely resembles the enamel of natural teeth and tend to be more durable than other options, such as composite resin.
Dental veneers may be a suitable option for you if you are experiencing one or more minor cosmetic dental concerns, such as misshapen or discolored teeth. However, they are not an excellent cosmetic dental solution for patients with severe tooth decay, periodontal disease, or bruxism (severe tooth clenching or grinding).
Porcelain veneers can offer you many benefits if you’re struggling with an imperfect smile. Some of these include:
- Improving the natural appearance of your teeth
- Boosting self-esteem
- Being less invasive than porcelain crowns
- Improving oral health
Dental Veneer Procedure
If the dentist determines that you are a good candidate for dental veneers, you can expect the process of having them placed in your mouth to take place over two appointments. The dentist will prepare your teeth for the veneers during your first appointment by removing a small amount of enamel from their surface. Then, he will take an impression of your teeth to send to a laboratory where your veneers will be created. While your permanent veneers are made, temporary veneers will be placed over your teeth.
After your permanent veneers are completed, the dentist will remove your temporary one and bond the permanent one to the surface of your teeth. He will adjust and trim them if needed until they have the perfect size, shape, and placement. A follow-up appointment may be necessary to make other adjustments in some cases.
Porcelain Veneer Cost
The cost of your porcelain veneers will depend on how many you have placed.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
The lifespan of your porcelain veneers will depend on how well you care for them. With excellent oral hygiene habits, it’s common for veneers to last as long as 20 years. The best way to extend the life of your veneers is to:
- Brush and floss every day
- Avoid biting down on hard items
- Wear a mouth guard if you grind your teeth
- Visit the dentist every six months
