What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin dental laminates that are placed on the front of your teeth to conceal multiple dental imperfections at once. They’re typically made from either composite or porcelain depending on your needs and budget. Once the shell is bonded to your tooth, it looks completely natural, resisting stains, acids, and wear for a strong and beautiful smile.
Regardless of the material or style you choose, veneers are customized for shape, color, and size, so your results are tailored just for you. Whether you’re looking to brighten your smile or close small gaps, veneers offer a long-lasting cosmetic solution with immediate impact.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The veneer process begins with a consultation at our Weston dental office, where our team evaluates your goals and oral health. If veneers are the right choice, we’ll take impressions and create a mock-up so you can preview your future smile.
Next, a small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth being treated to ensure a natural fit. Temporary veneers are placed while your custom shells are crafted in a dental lab.
At your final visit, the permanent veneers are bonded securely to your teeth using a special adhesive. They’re then adjusted for comfort and polished for a flawless finish. With proper care, your veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer, making them a cosmetic investment that continues to pay for itself over time.
Benefits of Veneers
Veneers provide a range of benefits that make them one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, such as:
- Aesthetic Transformation: Instantly brighten and balance your smile.
- Durability: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains and chips.
- Conceal Multiple Flaws at Once: From discoloration to gaps and unevenness.
- Natural Look and Feel: Custom-made to match your teeth seamlessly.
- Confidence Boost: Helps you smile freely in both personal and professional settings.
Beyond the cosmetics, veneers also add a protective layer to weakened enamel. With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, they can enhance both the beauty and function of your smile for many years.
Veneer FAQs
Can Veneers Fix Crooked Teeth?
Do your teeth overlap because there isn’t enough room in your mouth for them to sit in their properly aligned positions? If so, you might assume that traditional braces are your only option. The truth is that there are several others, including veneers. Although this popular cosmetic dentistry treatment cannot move your teeth, it can conceal minor crookedness. Not only that, but it can do so in as little as two visits, which is why it has earned the nickname “instant orthodontics!”
Are Veneers Permanent?
Technically, veneers are not permanent. That said, the changes to your enamel are, so you’ll need a veneer or crown over any treated teeth moving forward.
The good news is that veneers are one of the longest-lasting treatments. In fact, several studies have reported that it’s very common for them to last for well over a decade with proper care. The key is implementing healthy habits into your daily routine (i.e., brushing your teeth twice a day, wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth, exercising caution with crunchy foods) as well as breaking any bad ones, like smoking.
Is There Anything I Can’t Eat with Veneers?
Since veneers are crafted from only the best dental materials, they don’t come with a long list of dietary restrictions. That said, they aren’t unbreakable. So, if you want to avoid chips, cracks, and breaks, it’s important to exercise caution with extremely crunchy foods, like hard pretzels, croutons, and raw almonds. It’s also important to limit your intake of added sugar since ice cream, taffy, and other sweet treats can cause the underlying tooth to decay.
Will I Still Be Able to Drink Coffee with Veneers?
Don’t worry – you won’t have to give up coffee if you get veneers. In fact, since they are crafted from stain-resistant materials, like porcelain, there isn’t the same risk of dental discoloration! Just make sure to use a straw and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water afterward so the teeth that aren’t covered with veneers don’t develop stubborn stains.
How Many Veneers Will I Need?
If you are interested in enhancing your smile with veneers in Weston, but you aren’t exactly sure how many you need, that’s okay! At your consultation, we will help you decide after getting an in-depth understanding of your dental history, needs, and goals. For example, if you want to fix a chipped tooth that has always bothered you, then you may only need one. If you want to completely transform your smile, on the other hand, then we may need 10-12 veneers to achieve the desired results.
Is There Anyone Who Shouldn’t Get Veneers?
Yes, there are patients who aren’t a candidate for veneers at their first consultation, including those who have an active infection in their gums. The good news is that we offer a wide range of services at our Weston office, so we’ll likely be able to provide the restorative care you need right here.
