What are Dental Veneers?
At their core, dental veneers are tiny shells placed on the fronts of teeth. They’re generally made of porcelain, and each one can hide nearly any smile flaw – chips, cracks, stains, etc. Every shell also “blends” with adjacent teeth to ensure seamless results.
Today’s veneers owe much to their materials. Because the shells use porcelain (or ceramic), dentists can tailor them to match a tooth’s color, size, and shape. It follows that a veneer always looks lifelike and fits well with its surroundings. Even better, it can typically last a long time due to its stain-resistance and high durability.
The Process of Getting Veneers
To get veneers, a patient must undergo two dental visits. The first one “prepares” your teeth for treatment, and the second places the actual restorations.
Dr. Garner follows several steps for the “prep” visit, which occurs during your consultation. He first removes some enamel from your smile to make room for the final shells. Next, he and his team take impressions of the prepared teeth and send them to a dental lab. Lab workers will use these models to craft your porcelain veneers over several weeks. Amidst that process, you’ll wear temporary shells so the treated teeth stay safe.
Once your final veneers are ready, you’ll return for the second visit. We’ll place your shells at this time and ensure they look just as they should. After we’ve confirmed everything, you can go out and enjoy your restored smile!
The Benefits of Veneers
By receiving veneers from Dr. Garner, you’ll enjoy the following benefits:
- A Gorgeous Grin – Veneers blend seamlessly with your grin and hide your smile’s flaws, so you can expect results that look fantastic.
- Versatile Care – Since they cover the fronts of teeth, veneers can fix stains, cracks, chips, and more.
- Stain-Resistance – Modern veneers are made of stain-resistant porcelain, so they don’t easily discolor from foods, drinks, and other outside debris.
- Long-Lasting Results – A normal veneer will last about 15 years, and well-maintained ones can work for 30 years or more.
