Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin pieces of porcelain that we permanently attach to the fronts of teeth in order to hide aesthetic flaws. Some of their primary benefits include:

• Veneers are a versatile treatment. They can hide discoloration, cracks, chips, teeth that are too small, and minor misalignment.
• We carefully select the color of the veneers so they blend in well with a patient’s facial features and natural teeth.
• The porcelain reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel, which means onlookers may have no idea that you have had some cosmetic dental work done.
• Porcelain is nonporous, which means that it is highly resistant to stains.
• If you care well for your veneers, they are likely to last for 10 years or longer before replacement becomes necessary.
• Caring for veneers is simple. As long as you maintain excellent oral hygiene and avoid habits that could damage the porcelain (such as chewing on ice), you can expect them to stand the test of time.

What Is the Process Like?

Here is an overview of what you can expect during the porcelain veneers process:

• We will evaluate your candidacy for veneers and answer any questions you may have about the treatment. We may also recommend that you get your teeth whitened prior to receiving veneers.
• We must remove a sliver of enamel from the teeth so the veneers do not make your smile look bulky or unnatural. Then, we take some impressions and give you temporary veneers to protect your teeth while a dental laboratory creates your permanent ones.
• When your permanent veneers arrive in our dental office, we will double-check their fit. Then, we will permanently attach them to your teeth.

Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Most people who would like to improve their teeth’s appearance are candidates for porcelain veneers. However, you may not be eligible for this treatment if you are currently fighting gum disease or have other significant oral health problems. If you struggle with complex issues that are affecting the way your teeth look and function, we would be happy to help you by designing a treatment plan to help you achieve a healthier, more beautiful mouth.

Also, keep in mind that because veneers are considered a purely elective treatment, the vast majority of insurance policies do not cover them. However, you may still be eligible for low- or no-interest financing through CareCredit.
