Understanding Veneers
What to Expect
Porcelain veneers are a type of cosmetic dental prosthesis. They are made of a thin, ceramic material and are designed to fit over your existing teeth after they have been trimmed. Essentially, your veneers will completely replace the front surfaces of your teeth to hide cosmetic issues.
The treatment process takes two appointments over a period of 2-3 weeks. First, you’ll come in to have your teeth prepared. Dr. Mestichelli or Dr. Barnes will trim them and take images and impressions of your teeth, which will then be sent to a trusted third-party lab.
Your veneers will be created at this dental lab, then sent to our office. In the meantime, you’ll wear temporary veneers to protect your teeth. At your last appointment, we will check each permanent veneer to make sure they fit properly, then bond them into place permanently to complete the procedure.
Are Veneers Right for Me?
Common Reasons for Treatment
Veneers can be used to treat a wide variety of cosmetic dental issues. This includes uneven or misshapen teeth, gaps in your smile, slightly-crooked teeth, discoloration and stains, and teeth with minor chipping.
If you have extensive cosmetic dental issues, veneers are often the best option for restoring your smile because they are so versatile. However, it’s important to note that veneers are not a restorative treatment and should not be used to treat decayed teeth. They may also not be a good option for patients with extremely crooked teeth or major bite issues.
