A bright, even smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. Porcelain dental veneers offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for enhancing the appearance of your teeth. These thin, custom-made shells are designed by our dentists to cover the front surface of teeth, correcting imperfections and creating a flawless smile. Whether you want to fix discoloration, chips or gaps, veneers provide a durable and aesthetic solution.
A Versatile and Durable Solution
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment due to their ability to address multiple dental concerns with a single procedure. They can improve the appearance of:
- Stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to whitening
- Chipped, cracked or worn teeth
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Slightly misaligned teeth
Made from high-quality ceramic, porcelain veneers are highly durable and resistant to staining. This allows patients to enjoy a long-lasting, radiant smile with proper care. Unlike composite bonding, veneers provide a more permanent and stain-resistant solution for those seeking significant cosmetic improvements. They are also designed to match the natural translucency of enamel, creating a seamless and lifelike appearance.
The Porcelain Veneers Process
The process of receiving porcelain veneers typically requires two visits. During the first appointment at Prime Dental Group, enamel is removed from the front of the teeth to ensure a proper fit. Impressions are then taken to ensure that your veneers match your natural teeth. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while the final restorations are being crafted.
Once the veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to the teeth using a strong adhesive. A special light is used to harden the material, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fit. The result is a smooth, polished smile that looks and feels natural.
Porcelain veneers can last as long as 15 years or even longer. Regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups help maintain their appearance and durability. Avoiding hard foods and habits such as nail-biting can also extend their lifespan.
