Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of durable porcelain designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are bonded directly to your teeth to enhance your smile, offering a solution for a variety of cosmetic issues. Porcelain veneers can completely transform the appearance of your teeth and smile.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Repair?
- Crooked teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Severely discolored or stained teeth
- Uneven or unwanted spaces
- Worn or chipped teeth
- Other minor cosmetic flaws
How is the Procedure Done?
The process typically requires two visits:
- First Visit: The dentist will lightly buff and shape your teeth, taking a mold of your teeth and helping you select the appropriate color for your veneers.
- Second Visit: After cleaning and preparing your teeth, the dentist will bond the porcelain veneers to your teeth, creating a beautiful, durable smile.
What Kind of Follow-Up Care Should I Expect?
Your dentist will provide specific care instructions for your porcelain veneers. Maintaining your smile requires regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. With proper care, your veneers can last for many years, though they may eventually need replacement to maintain optimal quality.
