Veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from porcelain or composite resin. They are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance and correct imperfections. Veneers can cover stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth, providing a natural-looking and dazzling smile.
Veneers are considered a permanent dental treatment because a thin layer of enamel is usually removed from your teeth to make room for the veneers. Once the enamel is removed, it cannot grow back. However, veneers can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
Porcelain veneers are made from dental-grade porcelain and are highly durable, stain-resistant, and mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Composite veneers are made from tooth-colored composite resin and are sculpted directly onto the teeth. While both types of veneers can improve your smile, porcelain veneers are generally more long-lasting.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more. Composite veneers typically have a shorter lifespan of about 5 to 7 years. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene practices can help extend the longevity of your veneers.
As mentioned earlier, veneers require a small amount of enamel removal, which makes the process irreversible. Before getting veneers, discussing your goals and concerns with your dentist is crucial to ensure veneers are the right option for you.
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant, thanks to their smooth surface. However, avoiding excessive consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, and tobacco is essential to maintain their luster. Composite veneers may be more susceptible to staining but can be polished or replaced if necessary.
The process of getting veneers is generally painless. Local anesthesia is used during the preparation phase to ensure your comfort. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity after the procedure, but it is usually temporary.
Veneers can improve the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth. However, orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign may be recommended for more severe misalignments to achieve optimal results.
The veneer process typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare your teeth, take impressions, and discuss the veneer shade. On the second visit, the custom veneers will be bonded to your teeth, completing your smile transformation.
Veneers are considered cosmetic dental treatments and are not covered by dental insurance. Our office offers flexible financing to help fit our care into your budget and lifestyle.
