What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are super-thin, tooth-colored shells that are designed to fit over the front side of teeth to conceal most flaws. This means you’ll be able to make one or multiple kinds of imperfections in your teeth, such as chips, stains, cracks, and gaps. These layers are also typically made out of dental porcelain or ceramic, meaning they’ll be durable and mimic your natural tooth enamel. Not only are veneers strong enough to withstand chewing forces, but they’re also highly resistant to staining, providing a virtually permanent whitening solution as well.
The Process of Getting Veneers
You’ll first visit your dentist for an initial consultation to discuss your oral health and smile goals. If they determine that you’re a good candidate for the treatment, they’ll begin the process by removing a tiny portion of your enamel from the front surface of your affected teeth. After taking impressions, they’ll send them to a dental lab for fabrication.
Your final veneers will take about two weeks to be completed. In the meantime, you’ll be given a provisional set to cover and protect your prepared teeth. These will also serve as a “test run,” allowing you to see and feel how your veneers will be later on. Your dentist will also make any necessary adjustments and relay the information to the dental lab. Once the final veneers are finished, you’ll come back to our office so we can remove and replace your temporary ones with the permanent veneers. We’ll verify that they’re properly fitted and comfortable, give them a thorough polish, and then you’ll be on your way to showing off your brand-new pearly whites!
