Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

 

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry options that can transform your smile into a stunning and flawless work of art. These thin, custom-made pieces of ceramic are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance, color, shape, or size.

 

They are designed to cover up dental imperfections such as chips, cracks, discolorations, or gaps.

Porcelain veneers are a minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry option that can transform your smile in just a few visits to our clinic.

How are they placed?

 

The process of placing porcelain veneers typically involves 3 to 4 visits to our clinic. During your initial consultation, specialist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs.

3. Temporary veneers: Our dentist will place temporary veneers over your teeth while your custom-made veneers are being fabricated in the laboratory.

4. Bonding: Once your custom-made veneers are ready, our dentist will carefully bond them to the front surface of your teeth using adhesives.

5. Finishing touches: Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that your veneers fit comfortably and look natural, and will then polish and buff them to give them a natural shine.

 

How do I care for my porcelain veneers?

 

Porcelain veneers are designed to be long-lasting, but they still require proper care and maintenance to ensure that they stay looking their best for years to come. Some key tips for caring for your porcelain veneers include:

1. Brush and floss regularly: Good oral hygiene is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your veneers, so be sure to brush and floss regularly to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

2. Avoid very hard or chewy foods: While porcelain veneers are durable, they are not indestructible, so be sure to avoid hard or chewy foods that could damage them.

3. Visit our clinic regularly: Regular dental checkups and cleanings are essential for maintaining the health of your teeth and veneers, so be sure to visit our clinic at least twice a year for a thorough cleaning and exam.

4. Use a non-abrasive toothpaste: Abrasive toothpaste can scratch the surface of your veneers, so be sure to use a non-abrasive toothpaste that is gentle on your teeth and gums.
