What Are Dental Veneers?

A veneer is essentially a thin shell for the front of your tooth. It’s normally made out of porcelain, which is a stain-resistant material that can be customized to blend in with the rest of your smile. There are also ceramic veneers that don’t require as much shaping of your natural tooth, meaning they let you preserve more of your enamel.

Our team can use veneers to hide discoloration, minor dental damage, small gaps, and other imperfections simultaneously. The number of veneers you need depends on the changes you want to make; some patients only get one veneer to correct a single tooth while others need a full set of veneers to enhance all of the teeth that are visible when they smile.

The Process of Getting Veneers 

First, you’ll need to schedule a consultation at our office. Dr. Bui will ask about your smile goals and review your treatment options. If you decide that veneers are the best choice for your grin, the next step is to prepare the teeth in question. A small amount of enamel will be removed so that the veneers won’t look too bulky once they’re in place.

After finishing the necessary preparations, we will take impressions of your smile, which will then be sent to a dental lab where expert ceramists will design and create veneers that are the right shape, size, and color for your unique grin. You’ll be given temporary veneers to wear while your permanent ones are being worked on. Once the final veneers arrive, we will schedule one last appointment to bond them to your teeth.

The Benefits of Veneers

Why are veneers so highly recommended compared to other cosmetic treatments? It’s thanks to several advantages:

• They are very versatile and can be used to make all kinds of improvements to the color, size, shape, and proportion of the teeth.
• They are stain-resistant when made out of porcelain, making it easy to maintain the dazzling results in the long term.
• They can be customized to look as lifelike as possible. The average person won’t be able to tell the difference between one of your regular teeth and one that has been restored with a veneer.
• They are made from durable materials that you can trust to last for a very long time. With the right care, you can usually expect veneers to last between 10 and 15 years.
