Porcelain Veneers, How They Work to Perfect Imperfect Teeth
Cosmetic dentistry offers numerous options to improve your smile’s appearance. One of these options is porcelain veneers. By attaching natural-looking veneers to your teeth, Dr. Jessica Williams can transform your defective smile into one that radiates health and beauty. Williams Dental Studio in Stockbridge, Georgia, is your one-stop location for porcelain veneer treatment near you. These answers to frequently asked questions about veneers can help you decide if this cosmetic procedure is right for you.
What are veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin, porcelain shells designed to fit over imperfect teeth to improve their appearance. Chipped, stained, cracked, gapped, misshapen, and undersized teeth can be magically transformed with veneers. Porcelain veneers conceal the defects on your teeth to make your smile appear more aesthetically pleasing.
What problems can veneers address?
Versatility is one of the greatest attributes of veneers. Dr. Williams can use veneers to address multiple tooth flaws in one dental treatment. Some of the most common issues addressed with veneers are:
- Tooth stains and discolorations that don’t respond to teeth whitening treatment
- Chipped, cracked, worn, or broken teeth
- Teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven
- Odd-shaped teeth
- Undersized teeth
- Gaps Between Teeth
Veneers make a great choice for people who want to perfect their smile quickly without undergoing invasive treatment.
What is the porcelain veneer procedure?
After an initial evaluation to determine that you’re a good candidate for veneers, Dr. Williams will prep your teeth for your treatment. This entails removing a thin layer of enamel to make space for your veneers. Afterward, we’ll create a mold of your teeth to send to the lab, where porcelain veneers are fabricated. Your veneers will be custom-crafted to the shape, size, and color of your teeth for a perfect fit. In the interim period, we’ll place temporary veneers on your teeth. When your permanent veneers are ready, a second appointment will be made to make the switch. Your new veneers will be bonded in place permanently to perfect your grin.
How soon will I see the results of my cosmetic veneer treatment?
Once porcelain veneers are bonded in place, your smile transformation is complete. The entire process can be done in two dental visits, generally within a matter of weeks.
Do veneers need special care?
Porcelain veneers look and function like natural teeth and only need good oral care and routine dental cleanings to retain their attractive appearance. Bad habits such as biting your nails, chewing on ice, or using your teeth like tools should be stopped immediately, as they can harm your veneers.
Are porcelain veneers long-lasting?
With good oral care, porcelain veneers can have a lifespan of up to 15 years. Porcelain is known for being a strong, durable, stain-resistant material, making it an excellent choice for front tooth veneers.
