What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are very thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the beauty of your smile. Our dentists may recommend dental veneers to correct several types of smile imperfections. Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for enhancing your smile because the color and translucence of porcelain is a great match for the natural appearance of tooth enamel. Porcelain is stain resistant as well, so your smile will stay bright for years to come. Resin veneers can also be matched to your natural tooth color. With dental veneers, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you will love to show off.
Our dentists may recommend dental veneers if you would like to improve the appearance of your smile. Custom-made veneers can be used for just one tooth or for your entire smile. We may suggest veneers to:
- Close large spaces and gaps between teeth
- Whiten teeth that are severely stained or discolored
- Improve the appearance of irregularly shaped teeth
- Correct slightly crooked teeth
- Restore teeth that are broken, chipped, worn or fractured
We invite you to call or visit our office today to learn more about custom dental veneers and how we can enhance your smile. We look forward to hearing from you!
FAQ
What are dental veneers made of?
Dental veneers are typically crafted from porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain veneers are known for their durability and ability to mimic the natural appearance of tooth enamel, while composite resin veneers are more cost-effective and can be sculpted directly onto the teeth. Both materials are biocompatible and designed to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Are veneers a permanent solution?
Dental veneers are a long-lasting solution but are not considered permanent. Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care, while composite veneers may have a shorter lifespan. Because some enamel is removed to place the veneers, the process is irreversible, and replacements may be needed over time.
Do veneers require special care?
Veneers do not require special maintenance beyond good oral hygiene practices. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are essential to protect the underlying teeth and gums. Avoid biting into hard objects or using your teeth as tools to minimize the risk of damage to your veneers.
Can veneers be used on all teeth?
Veneers are most commonly applied to the front teeth, as they are designed to improve aesthetics. They may not be suitable for molars or teeth subjected to heavy chewing forces. Our dentists will assess your oral health and recommend the best treatment option based on the location and condition of your teeth.
