As the most recognizable expression and the universal sign of happiness, a beautiful smile is an important asset. If your front teeth are stained, discolored, chipped, worn-down, misshapen, a little gapped, or slightly misaligned, you're not alone. Cosmetic imperfections may be due to genetics, excessive wear, the aging process, dietary choices, smoking, or certain medications.
One of the most conservative yet highly effective and aesthetically pleasing ways to transform the appearance of imperfect looking teeth is the fabrication of dental veneers. Fully customized to the exact specifications of your smile and the cosmetic corrections required, veneers are ultra-thin facings, seamlessly bonded to the fronts of the involved teeth.
This versatile and minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure conceals a range of imperfections to dramatically improve the look of teeth that are misshapen, exhibit minor chips, enamel defects, or stains. They also provide an excellent solution for closing small gaps and addressing other minor alignment issues.
Among the chief benefits offered by veneers are that they require little to no preparation of the underlying tooth and offer a relatively quick way to achieve long-lasting and pleasing results. Because they are ultra-thin, veneers preserve the maximum amount of natural tooth structure and are kind to the tissues along the gumline.
Your veneers are fabricated from the highest quality of dental-grade porcelain to recreate the natural translucency of healthy tooth enamel. Since porcelain reflects light in much the same way as dental enamel, veneers produce a vibrant, flawless, and naturally beautiful-looking smile. With proper oral hygiene and care, you can maintain your new veneers for many years to come.
The process of getting dental veneers begins with a consultation and thorough assessment of your dental health, oral function, and smile aesthetics. The removal of tooth structure is typically quite minimal — just enough enamel for the ultra-thin facing to look most natural and remain sturdy and strong when placed.
Once the teeth are prepared, an impression gets taken, and an appropriate shade of porcelain is selected, your new veneers are fabricated. Attractive temporary veneer facings cover the teeth while the permanent ones are being made. When your veneers are ready, their fit, size, shade, and shape are checked. Once fitted and approved, the veneers are permanently bonded in place with composite resin cement.
Determining if a veneer is suitable or a full-coverage crown is required depends on the extent of the tooth's defects and the remaining amount of healthy tooth structure. Dental veneers often provide the desired cosmetic improvements for teeth with imperfections that cannot be remedied with teeth whitening. However, a significantly undersized, misshapen, chipped, or darkly stained tooth usually requires a full coverage crown.
Porcelain veneers are fabricated from the highest grade of dental ceramics, which reflect light in much the same way as the enamel of natural teeth. Dental porcelain is also resistant to stains and discolorations, keeping your smile white and vibrant for years to come.
With proper hygiene and routine dental care, veneers provide a cosmetic solution that not only looks and feels completely natural but is also long lasting. To prevent chipping or cracking, avoid nail biting, chewing on hard candies or ice, and opening bottles with your teeth. If you clench or grind your teeth, you may need to wear a night guard to help protect your new smile.
As versatile as they are beautiful, dental veneers can be applied to a single tooth in need of cosmetic improvement or multiple front teeth to dramatically improve the look of your smile.
Among the many benefits offered by dental veneers is their ability to mask a range of imperfections at once. In addition to covering stains or discolorations, the size and shape of a veneer can also be customized to improve the tooth's contours and dimensions, close minor gaps, and address other minor alignment issues.
The two most common types of veneers are porcelain veneers (also known as porcelain laminates) and composite veneers. Porcelain veneers are the most commonly offered option in care. You may have also heard the term no-prep veneer — a type of porcelain veneer that requires little to no preparation of the underlying dental enamel.
Once they're in place, your veneers are easy to care for and maintain. Simply by brushing, flossing, and visiting our office for periodic checkups, you can successfully protect and preserve your new and beautiful smile.
