Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They serve several purposes, including:
Veneers are typically made from porcelain or composite resin, with porcelain being more durable and resistant to staining. They are a popular choice for those looking to achieve a natural-looking, long-lasting improvement in their smile
Ideal candidates for dental veneers typically have the following characteristics:
Initial Consultation: During this visit, your dentist will discuss your goals, examine your teeth, and possibly take X-rays or impressions to plan the treatment.
Tooth Preparation: In the next visit, your dentist will prepare your teeth for the veneers. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers. This step is usually done under local anesthesia to ensure comfort.
Impressions: After preparing the teeth, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab where the custom veneers are made. This process can take a few weeks.
Temporary Veneers: While waiting for the permanent veneers, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and give you a preview of the final look.
Fitting and Bonding: Once the permanent veneers are ready, your dentist will place them on your teeth to check the fit and color. Adjustments may be made to ensure a perfect fit. The teeth will then be cleaned, polished, and etched to create a suitable surface for bonding. The veneers are then cemented to the teeth using a special adhesive, and a curing light is used to harden the cement quickly.
Final Adjustments: After the veneers are bonded, your dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance.
Avoid Eating or Drinking: Refrain from eating or drinking anything for at least 30 minutes after the procedure to allow the veneers to fully bond to your teeth.
Soft Foods: Stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods like soup, pasta, and yogurt for the first few days.
Medications: Take any prescribed medications to reduce initial swelling or pain.
Brushing: Brush at least twice a day with a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Flossing: Floss between your teeth once daily to prevent plaque buildup.
Mouthwash: Use an antibacterial mouthwash twice a day to maintain oral health.
Hard Foods: Avoid biting down on hard foods or objects, such as ice or pens, as this can chip or crack your veneers.
Teeth Grinding: If you grind your teeth at night, consider using a mouth guard to protect your veneers.
Dental Visits: Regular check-ups with your dentist are crucial to ensure your veneers remain in good condition and to catch any potential issues early.
Limit Staining Foods and Drinks: Try to limit the consumption of staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine to keep your veneers looking their best.
The recovery time for dental veneers is generally quite short. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure, though you might experience some mild tooth sensitivity or discomfort for a few days to a couple of weeks.
Follow-up appointments after getting dental veneers are important to ensure they are properly fitted and functioning well. Here’s what you can typically expect during these visits:
Initial Check-Up: Shortly after the veneers are placed, your dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment to check the fit and comfort of the veneers. They will ensure that the veneers have bonded correctly and make any necessary adjustments.
Bite Adjustment: Your dentist will check your bite to ensure that the veneers are not causing any issues. If you feel any discomfort or notice any irregularities, this is the time to mention them.
Regular Dental Visits: It’s recommended to continue with your regular dental check-ups every six months. During these visits, your dentist will monitor the condition of your veneers and your overall oral health.
Addressing Issues: If you experience any problems such as sensitivity, discomfort, or damage to the veneers, you should contact your dentist immediately. They may schedule an additional follow-up to address these issues.
Maintenance Tips: Your dentist will provide you with specific care instructions to help maintain your veneers, such as avoiding certain foods and maintaining good oral hygiene.
Improved Appearance: Veneers can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, giving you a brighter and more even smile.
Natural Look: They blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing lifelike results that are hard to distinguish from real teeth.
Stain Resistance: Veneers are more resistant to staining compared to natural tooth enamel, helping you maintain a whiter smile.
Durability: With proper care, veneers can last between 10 to 15 years.
Minimal Maintenance: They don’t require any special maintenance beyond regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
Less Invasive: The procedure for applying veneers is less invasive compared to other dental restorations like crowns.
Customizable Color: The color of veneers can be customized to match your natural teeth or to make darker teeth appear whiter.
Depending on how well you care for your veneers, they can last anywhere from five to 20 years. If you clench or grind your teeth or bite your fingernails, veneers may wear out quicker.
No, veneers are a layer of porcelain placed over an actual tooth that is damaged, stained, or poorly shaped. If the entire tooth is missing, other options, including crowns, implants, and dental bridges, can replace missing teeth.
Yes, veneers are safe. They have been successfully used to improve the smiles of millions of people and are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure done in our office.
Not really. In some cases, we may have to remove a thin layer of the enamel on the tooth’s surface, but this is minimal and does not affect the health or function of your teeth.
No, once your porcelain veneers are placed, you can look forward to years of beautiful, white teeth without worrying about stains from food or drink.
No, once the color for your veneers is determined, they will stay that color for the life of the veneers. If you are interested in whiter, brighter teeth and plan to get veneers, it is best to whiten your teeth first, then match your veneers to the results of your teeth whitening treatment
Not necessarily. While many patients opt for veneers because they are a more conservative treatment than crowns, they may not be the best choice in some situations. Our dentists can help you determine whether crowns or veneers are the best way to achieve your desired results.
No, veneers are permanently bonded into position. They act and function like your natural teeth.
No, once veneers are bonded to your teeth, you will not feel them. The layer of enamel removed is very thin, and you do not feel any discomfort. During the procedure to apply the veneers, a local anesthetic is used.
Only if the tooth it is bonded to shifts. If this happens, it is important to contact our office immediately.
