What Are Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are what’s known as “dental porcelain laminates.” They offer patients a dramatic improvement to their teeth. Veneers consist of wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials—porcelain veneers bond to the front of your teeth. Once there, they can hide any imperfections like gaps or discolorations. They are producing a uniform look for a more aesthetically enhanced appearance.

The alternative to porcelain veneers is resin ones. These dental veneers are thinner and require less tooth surface removal before placement. Porcelain veneers are still the more popular option since they’re proven to be more stain-resistant. The reason being that porcelain better mimics the light reflecting properties of natural teeth.

Who Is A Candidate To Get Dental Veneers?

Patients with cosmetic dental issues will benefit significantly from veneers. Dental veneers are a versatile treatment that can help with problems such as:
  • Teeth Discoloration & staining
  • Worn down & eroded tooth enamel
  • Chipped or broken tooth
  • Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
  • Noticeably large tooth gaps

How Are Veneers Placed

Veneer placement requires two visits. During the initial visit, Dr. Shodhan will prep your tooth. The appointment will consist of gently removing some of your tooth enamel. Then impressions will be made of your teeth. X-rays are taken, and a color guide used to help make your veneers look natural. Dr. Shodhan will then place temporary veneers while awaiting the permanent ones.

When the dental lab completes your permanent veneers, you will come back for a 2nd visit. Here Dr. Shodhan will remove the temporary veneers and bond the permanent ones to your teeth. Before bonding, we will check each veneer to ensure its to your liking. With veneers being a minimally invasive procedure, there’s no recovery period at all. Patients can leave the office with their new glowing smile the same day.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

How long your veneers last will depend on a patient’s self-care of them. Patients that are on top of their hygiene can see porcelain veneers last up to 20 years. An important thing to keep in mind is that veneers can chip or loosen. If this happens, they will need bonding again or replacement. To avoid excessive wear and tear, we recommend eating hard types of food.
