What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, misaligned, or have gaps. Veneers provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for enhancing your smile.
Benefits of Veneers
- Natural Appearance: Veneers are designed to mimic the natural translucency and color of your teeth, providing a seamless and realistic look.
- Durability: Made from strong materials, veneers are resistant to staining and can last many years with proper care.
- Minimally Invasive: Requires minimal tooth preparation, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Quick Results: Achieve a dramatic transformation in just a few appointments.
- Versatile Solution: Can address multiple cosmetic issues, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment.
The Veneer Procedure
- Consultation and Examination: Dr. Scott Bonin will perform a thorough examination and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if veneers are the right option for you. This includes taking digital impressions and possibly x-rays.
- Treatment Planning: A personalized treatment plan is created, outlining the steps and timeline for your veneer procedure. Dr. Bonin will help you choose the best shade and shape for your veneers to match your natural teeth.
- Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers. This ensures a natural fit and appearance.
- Impressions: Impressions of your prepared teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneers are crafted.
- Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth while the permanent veneers are being fabricated.
- Veneer Placement: Once your custom veneers are ready, they are carefully fitted and bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. Dr. Bonin will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and appearance.
Caring for Your Veneers
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your veneers, follow these care tips:
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and floss regularly to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage the veneers.
- Limit Stain-Causing Foods and Drinks: Although veneers are resistant to staining, it's still a good idea to limit consumption of coffee, tea, and red wine.
