Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments for their versatility and appearance. Veneers are able to correct a host of aesthetic complaints at one time and restore smiles so that they look natural, straight, white, and stunning
Veneers are thin coverings that are placed over the front (visible) part of the tooth.
They look like natural teeth.
Veneers can be used to correct a wide range of dental issues, such as: teeth that are stained and can't be whitened by bleaching. chipped or worn teeth.
What problems do porcelain veneers correct?
Porcelain veneers are able to correct several cosmetic issues at one time, eliminating the need for multiple cosmetic dentistry treatments. Veneers fix problems such as:
Veneers do not cover the entire tooth, only the front of the teeth visible to others.
If your front teeth are a little crooked, veneers can make them look straighter. The crooked tooth may be shaved down a little before placing the veneers to get a perfectly straight look.
You may also get veneers if you have a chipped tooth. Since veneers are durable and strong, you would not have to worry about re-chipping the tooth.
Minor gaps between the teeth can also be corrected using dental veneers. If years of drinking beverages have discolored your teeth, veneers can be used to mask the stain and give you a whiter smile.
Q & A's About Dental Vaneers
There are numerous cosmetic dentistry options available to resolve whatever oral health complaint you may have, but porcelain veneers in particular offer a great deal of advantages.
Porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years or longer if you take adequate care of them. If properly placed, they do not crack, stain or detach from the tooth, meaning you could have them for decades without needing retreatment. Also, a major blow or trauma to the face can damage a vaneer the same as it would a natural tooth.
Placing dental veneers is simple. First, Dr. Dennis will numb your mouth with an anesthetic. Then a minimal part of the enamel will be shaved off to give room for the porcelain material. Once the shape and size are right, she will take impressions, 3D models for the dental lab to create the veneers, then she will bond them to your teeth.
Most patients do not experience pain or discomfort after the procedure; some feel a mild soreness in their gums or jaw and over-the-counter medication is enough relief.
Yes, dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are attached to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They're often made from porcelain or resin-composite materials and are permanently bonded to your teeth.
Veneers are not a good choice for people who grind their teeth, have gum disease, weak teeth, or other issues.
Yes, porcelain veneers stay white. Dental porcelain is highly stain-resistant, meaning that your veneers will maintain the same beautiful, bright white shade for years after their application.
Mostly, vaneers stay on for 10-20 years. They can come off if you get injured, hit in the mouth, or bite on something hard; you may need to have one glued back on or replaced.
Caring for your veneers is simple! All you need to do is brush and floss regularly. Avoiding stain-inducing foods and beverages, like coffee, red wine, and deep-colored berries, can help ensure that your veneers don't stain over time.
Veneers are not covered by insurance, as they're considered a cosmetic procedure. Traditional veneers in the US, can cost an average of $925 to $2,500 per tooth and can last 10 to 20 years. Whereas, no-prep veneers may cost around $800 to $2000 per tooth and last between 5 to 7 years. But here in Mexico, our price is less than 1/3 of traditional vaneers lowest cost.
