Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells made from high-quality ceramic or resin materials that are bonded directly to the front surfaces of your teeth. They offer a refined and effective way to enhance your smile, gaining popularity for their versatility and minimally invasive application.
Once applied, porcelain veneers provide a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance, effectively addressing concerns such as misalignment, chips, discoloration, and gaps between teeth.
These veneers are designed to be long-lasting and durable, often maintaining their beauty for many years with proper care. To preserve their integrity, it’s important to avoid habits that could cause damage, such as biting on hard objects like ice or candy, or using your teeth as tools.
At Biltmore Commons Dental Care, we strive to deliver a comfortable, professional experience, helping you achieve a brighter, more confident smile. Reach out to us today to learn how porcelain veneers can transform your smile!
Porcelain veneers offer a range of aesthetic and functional benefits, including:● Resistance to stains for a long-lasting, bright smile.● Closes small gaps between teeth for a more even appearance.● Repairs minor chips and cracks with a natural-looking finish.● Improves slightly crooked teeth without the need for orthodontics.● Minimally invasive alternative to more extensive dental procedures.● Enhances the shape of uneven or misshapen teeth.● Allows for conservative reshaping of tooth surfaces.● Masks deep discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening treatments.● Provides a durable, long-term solution for a confident smile.
Step 1: Tooth PreparationTo ensure a proper fit, your dentist will gently remove a thin layer of enamel from the surface of the teeth receiving veneers. This creates space for the veneer to sit naturally.
Step 2: Impressions and Temporary VeneersAfter shaping the teeth, impressions are taken and sent to a specialized dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics during this time.
Step 3: Porcelain Veneer PlacementAt your follow-up appointment, your dentist will ensure the permanent veneers fit properly and match your desired color and shape. Once confirmed, the veneers are securely bonded to the teeth, completing your smile transformation.
