What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the surface of your teeth, instantly correcting most imperfections. Since they conceal the entire front-facing portions of your smile, they’re the most versatile way to transform your pearly whites. Veneers can be used to fix the following problems:
- Teeth that are intrinsically stained or discolored and do not respond to teeth whitening treatment
- A tooth that is chipped or slightly fractured
- Irregular spacing or gaps between two or more teeth
- A tooth that is misshaped or one that is noticeably smaller than your other teeth
- Teeth that are somewhat crooked, rotated, or protruding
- A tooth that is worn down
The Process of Getting Veneers
We will want you to be directly involved in the creation of your new smile with veneers. Feel free to bring in photographs of celebrities or friends who have smiles you like. Once your cosmetic dentist in Fort Worth understands your smile goals, we’ll prepare the teeth that will be getting veneers. We’ll remove a small layer of your tooth enamel to fit the porcelain shells. After this, we’ll take an impression of your teeth so that our dental lab is certain to fabricate veneers that fit comfortably. This impression is also what our office will use to immediately make you a set of temporary veneers for you to wear while your permanent set is under construction.
At the second appointment a few weeks later, your temporary veneers will be removed, so we can cement the permanent veneers in their place. Before doing so, however, the dentist will make sure each one is perfect in size, shape, and color.
The Benefits of Veneers
When you want a new look for your smile, veneers deliver. After placing them on your teeth, here are some of the benefits you can look forward to:
- Dental porcelain reflects light in the same way as permanent teeth do, making them natural-looking.
- Porcelain also resists stains, giving you a long-lasting and whiter smile.
- We make sure to custom match the shade and shape of your veneers to your natural teeth, thus blending your veneers with the rest of your look.
- Your veneers can last a decade or more with very little maintenance beyond brushing and flossing.
