What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their color, shape, and appearance. They can address cosmetic concerns such as:
-
Chipped or cracked teeth
-
Discoloration or deep staining
-
Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
-
Slightly crooked or unevenly spaced teeth
-
Worn teeth or small gaps
Veneers can also mask discoloration that may not respond well to traditional whitening, including certain stains caused by trauma, tetracycline, or previous root canal treatment.
Because placing veneers may require removing a small amount of enamel, treatment is generally irreversible. Dr. Spitzer will evaluate your smile and discuss whether porcelain veneers are right for you.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Covers Cosmetic Imperfections
Porcelain veneers can address a variety of cosmetic imperfections that are visible when you smile or speak. Each veneer is custom-designed to complement your existing teeth and create a natural-looking appearance.
Resists Staining
Porcelain is a nonporous material that is highly resistant to staining. With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, porcelain veneers can help you maintain a bright, beautiful smile.
Easy to Maintain
Caring for porcelain veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly to help protect your oral health and the longevity of your veneers.
What to Expect When Getting Porcelain Veneers
The porcelain veneer process typically involves several appointments, beginning with a comprehensive consultation and treatment planning, followed by tooth preparation and final placement.
During your consultation, Dr. Spitzer will evaluate your teeth, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether veneers are the right treatment for you. If they are recommended, the teeth may be minimally prepared to accommodate the veneers, and impressions or digital scans will be taken to create your custom restorations.
At your final appointment, Dr. Spitzer will carefully evaluate the fit, shape, and shade of your veneers before permanently bonding them to your teeth. At this time, any necessary adjustments can be made to help ensure your veneers complement your smile and provide a natural-looking appearance.
You may notice some changes in the feel or appearance of your teeth as you adjust to your new veneers. Maintaining good brushing and flossing habits and attending regular dental visits will help keep your smile healthy and your veneers looking their best.
