What is a Veneer?

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin, custom-designed to cover the front of your teeth. The veneers are crafted to perfectly match the size, shape, and color of natural teeth. This results in a seamless, aesthetically pleasing outcome. Veneers are used to fix a variety of cosmetic issues, including:

  • Teeth that are stained or discolored
  • Cracked or chipped teeth
  • Uneven or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Teeth that are worn or misshapen

Benefits of Veneers

  • Improved Aesthetics: Veneers instantly improve your smile's appearance by hiding imperfections and creating an aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical look.
  • Natural Results: The veneers we use are made from materials of high quality that closely mimic the translucent properties found in natural tooth enamel. This ensures a seamless and lifelike result.
  • Long-lasting and Durable: Veneers can last many years with proper care and maintenance. They will provide you with a beautiful, radiant smile in the long run.
  • Minimally Invasive: In contrast to some dental procedures which require extensive preparation of the teeth, veneers only involve a minimal amount of enamel removal, maintaining the structural integrity and strength of your teeth.
  • Stain Resistant: Porcelain Veneers are highly resistant to stains caused by coffee, tea, and wine. This allows you to keep your smile vibrant and bright.

Are Veneers the Right Choice for You?

Veneers can be a great option for patients who want to transform their smiles dramatically with little discomfort and downtime. They may not be right for everyone. During the consultation, Dr. Silivria evaluates your oral health as well as your aesthetic goals to determine whether or not veneers are a good option for you.

FAQ

  • Why Do Dentists Put Crowns on Teeth?

    Veneers are a dental procedure which can enhance the smile and make it more beautiful.

  • When would the dentist recommend using veneers?

    Dentists usually recommend using veneers when the shape and form of the teeth is not aesthetically pleasing, the teeth may be broken, discolored, or just not nicely looking.

  • What's the difference between dental veneers and crowns?

    Veneers are a more conservative restoration, we're just removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate just the thickness of a porcelain veneer, which is about half a millimeter to one millimeter in thickness. Crowns, on the contrary, they're more aggressive in preparation. We have to shave the tooth down all the way around the tooth and the crown goes on top of the tooth as a cap to cover the whole surface of the tooth.

  • What is the process for placing veneers?

    The process of placing veneers is pretty straightforward. We prep the tooth for veneer, make an impression, and send it to the lab. The lab fabricates veneers and at the seat appointment, we remove the temporary restorations and cement veneers with a special veneer cement.

  • Will veneers and bonding cement match tooth color?

    It depends on the number of veneers that we're doing. If you want to enhance your smile and you want to do more veneers, then we have the opportunity to make the veneers brighter than your natural teeth so you have a bigger, brighter smile.

  • What are the differences between composite and porcelain veneers?

    Veneers can be made out of different materials. There are options to get veneers done in composite and in porcelain. Porcelain ceramic is more aesthetic and it lasts longer. On the contrary, the composite veneers, over time, can discolor and start picking up different colors.

  • What should I do to care for my dental veneers?

    To care for dental veneers, you basically take care of them like your natural teeth. Brushing and flossing is all that's needed to take care of them.

  • How much do veneers cost?

    The cost of veneers depends on what kind of lab we're using, what kind of material we're using, and if you have insurance coverage. Some insurances actually may cover veneers.
