What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells made from tooth-colored materials such as
porcelain. They cover the front side of your teeth, providing a natural-looking restoration that can improve the appearance of your smile. Veneers are a cosmetic dental solution that can address a variety of dental imperfections, including chipped, stained, or misshapen teeth.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
There are several advantages to porcelain dental veneers, like:
- Natural Appearance: Veneers mimic the natural color and luster of your teeth, providing a natural-looking restoration.
- Durability: Veneers are strong and durable, providing long-lasting results.
- Versatility: Veneers restore teeth affected by chips, cracks, stains, or other dental imperfections.
- Non-Invasive: Veneers require minimal removal of tooth enamel, preserving the natural tooth structure.
- Cosmetic Enhancement: Veneers can be shade-matched to blend in with the color of the surrounding tooth structure, providing a cosmetic enhancement to your smile.
Who Qualifies for Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic dental solution. Here are some factors that may determine whether you qualify for porcelain veneers:
- Healthy Teeth and Gums: Candidates for porcelain veneers should have healthy teeth and gums, free from decay, gum disease, or other dental issues.
- Sufficient Tooth Enamel: Candidates for veneers should have sufficient tooth enamel to support the material. Dental veneers require a small amount of tooth enamel to be removed before placement.
- Dental Imperfections: Candidates should have dental imperfections that can be addressed with veneers, such as chips, cracks, stains, or misshapen teeth.
- Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Candidates should be committed to maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, to ensure the longevity of the veneers.
The Porcelain Veneer Procedure
Consultation
Before deciding whether porcelain veneers are right for you, your Houston cosmetic dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to ensure proper health, as well as talk with you about your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits to determine if you will benefit from veneers. This will help you and your dentist agree on the veneer product or technique that’s best for you.
Preparation
To prepare your teeth for veneers, your Houston dentist will remove a small amount of tooth enamel from the front surface of the affected teeth. This helps ensure a proper fit and to create space for the veneer material.
Impression
After the teeth are prepared, your cosmetic dentist will take an impression of your teeth to create a custom mold for the veneers. This mold will be sent to a dental laboratory where your dental veneers will be crafted.
Dental Veneer Placement
Once the customized dental veneers are ready, your Houston dentist will carefully place them onto the front surface of your teeth using a special dental adhesive. The porcelain veneers will be adjusted and polished to ensure a natural-looking and comfortable fit.
Porcelain Veneer Aftercare
To ensure you get the most out of your veneers, it’s vital that you take care of them. Our Houston cosmetic dentists provide the following tips to ensure your veneers stay beautiful for years to come:
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your veneered teeth clean and free from plaque buildup.
- Avoid Staining Agents: Minimize consumption of foods and drinks that can stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine. If you do consume these substances, rinse your mouth with water afterward to minimize staining.
- Protect Your Veneered Teeth: Avoid biting on hard objects or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to the veneer material.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular dental appointments with Dentistry of Highland Village to monitor the condition of your veneered teeth and ensure their longevity.
