What are Dental Veneers?
In essence, dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain. Dentists place them on the fronts of teeth to hide varied smile flaws – stains, chips, cracks, etc. These layers can even cover up misalignments in crooked teeth.
Due to their materials, veneers offer lifelike and natural-looking results. Dental labs customize the porcelain shells to match your adjacent teeth. Veneers will thus blend with your smile in terms of color, shape, size, and position. For that reason, many patients rank them as a highly popular dental treatment.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The initial veneer appointment usually takes between one to two hours. We’ll ask a few questions to get a feel for what your dream smile looks like, and we’ll examine your mouth to see if any oral health issues need to be addressed before cosmetic improvements can be made. Once we’ve confirmed that you’re a candidate for veneers, we can discuss the changes you want in more detail.
If you commit to dental veneers, we may do the “prep work” at your first appointment. We’ll first remove some enamel from the teeth that get the shells. We’ll then create a dental impression to be sent to a lab that makes your prosthetics. They’ll need a few weeks to craft the final veneers, so you’ll wear temporary ones in the meantime.
After a while, you’ll return to our office for the final placement. This visit attaches the veneers to your teeth with a bonding material. Once the shells are cemented, our dentists will slightly alter and polish them. You can then enjoy what your veneers have to offer!
The Benefits of Veneers
Once placed, veneers provide you with various perks. These include the following:
- A Gorgeous Grin – Veneers use material that matches your surrounding teeth. That way, their results are so lifelike that others won’t notice you have the shells.
- Versatile Care – Since they cover the fronts of teeth, veneers are highly versatile. They can correct tooth stains, chips, cracks, misalignments, and more.
- Resistance to Stains – Generally, veneers are very resistant to stains. Treated teeth can better withstand coffee, tea, and other foods with tannins.
- Long-Lasting Results – Compared to other cosmetic services, veneers are rather long-lasting. Even average ones can have a lifespan of around 15 years or more.
