What are Veneers?
Check the dictionary and you’ll see that the word veneer refers to a material that is placed over a surface to improve its appearance. That is exactly what veneers do to your teeth. Commonly made of fine dental porcelain, they are adhesively bonded to the facial side of teeth that people see when you smile. Once in place, veneers cover up a range of imperfections including:
- Chips and cracks
- Broken teeth
- Teeth that are stained or discolored and have not responded to whitening
- Wide gaps between teeth
- Misshaped teeth or ones that are proportionally smaller than others
- Slightly rotated teeth
Whether you have one tooth that must be corrected or several that need improvement, your Burleson dentist can design veneers that are tailor-made for your smile.
How Do I Get Veneers for My Teeth?
As with any cosmetic procedure, our dentists will first examine your teeth and gums to make sure they’re healthy. Any problems such as a cavity or gum disease will need to be taken care of first. Then, we’ll take X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth. Together, these will guide the design of your new smile. In addition, we want to hear from you. Together, we’ll make sure your new smile is the correct size and shape for your mouth, lips, and face.
The actual placement of veneers usually requires setting two appointments that are two weeks apart. At the first visit, a local anesthetic is given, and your dentist gently removes a thin layer of enamel from your teeth. This step is important because it makes room for the veneers. Otherwise, your new smile may protrude and look too large for your mouth. After this appointment, we place a temporary set of veneers for you to wear while the permanent set is hand-crafted in the dental lab.
In about two weeks, you’ll return to Marvel Dental to have the permanent veneers bonded into place. Your new smile will last longer if you maintain excellent oral hygiene at home and schedule regular dental checkups. In addition, just like natural teeth, veneers should not be used to bite hard objects like ice, pens, and fingernails.
The Benefits of Veneers
- Lifelike Appearance – Veneers are crafted using only the highest-quality materials, which means that their fabrication and the way they are positioned will ensure a lifelike, natural-looking appearance.
- Stain-Resistant – Veneers are not porous like traditional tooth enamel, which means it is much harder for them to become stained over time. However, they are not stain-proof, so you’ll still need to be mindful of how much coffee, tea, and other dark-colored beverages you consume.
- Durable & Long-Lasting – Veneers are meant to last 10-15 years with the right level of care. Some can last up to 20 years! They are durable but not indestructible, so make sure to avoid unhealthy habits and wear proper mouth protection to keep them safe.
- Improved Confidence – Once your new veneers are put in place, you’ll begin to immediately feel more confident in the way you look. This can have a positive impact on your day-to-day life, especially as it pertains to your professional work and ability to socialize.
