Veneers are thin, custom-made shells created to cover the front of your teeth. These coverings are mainly composed of porcelain in nature, where it imitates the translucence and color characteristics of tooth enamel, giving a near-natural look for your smile.
At Art Family Dental, we prepare every veneer with the greatest accuracy so it fits and adjusts well to your total appearance.
Dental veneers can be effective in providing solutions for a wide array of cosmetic dental problems, including discolorations and stains, chipped or broken teeth, gaps, and misaligned teeth. Be it a single problematic tooth or multiple dental imperfections, veneers will brighten your smile and make it uniform.
The greatest benefits of dental veneers are the fact that they can mask intrinsic stains. While surface stains are caused by foods, drinks, and smoking, intrinsic stains are deep-seated stains that can hardly be treated by ordinary measures of teeth whitening. Veneers offer a lasting solution, covering discolored teeth and returning brilliance to your smile.
At Art Family Dental, we have various dental veneers that are suitable for your very own needs and preferences. Every veneer we provide is custom-made to perfectly suit your dental structure according to your aesthetic needs.
Porcelain veneers are popular because of their durability and natural look. They resist stains more than any other materials. They last for as long as 15 years if good care is given to them. Porcelain veneers are good for the coverage of severe discolorations and hence offers a long-term solution to a beautiful smile.
Composite veneers are fashioned from resin that is a tooth color and is a little less expensive. They can be done in one visit, as opposed to a couple of weeks for porcelain veneers, and are not too difficult to repair if they are chipped or otherwise damaged. While not as durable as porcelain veneers, composite veneers are still better looking than your natural teeth.
Lumineers are ultra-thin porcelain veneers that require minimal tooth preparation and are bonded directly to the surface of your tooth, which makes the procedure less invasive. Lumineers are great for people looking for a more reversible and less permanent solution.
While you are awaiting your final permanent veneers, we provide you with temporary veneers that will help give you tooth protection and a preview of what your new smile is going to look like. They are indispensable during that period between the first appointment and final bonding with your custom veneers.
Dental veneers have a wide range of benefits that go beyond enhancing the appearance of your smile. Here are some of the key advantages:
Veneers can make a huge difference in the appearance of your teeth. They provide bright, white, and symmetrical smiles. Veneers are made with color and shape to resemble the natural teeth, making one's look seamless and natural.
The best quality veneers, porcelain veneers in particular, have excellent resistance to abrasion and impacts due to daily wear. With the proper care, they can last for years, being very cost-effective, thus enabling a beautiful smile for a long time.
Porcelain veneers are resistant to ordinary staining from coffee, tea, and even smoking. It means that your smile will stay white and beautiful without the necessity to undergo frequent bleaching procedures.
Veneers is also a conservative form of restorative and cosmetic treatment compared to other treatments, such as crowns. Usually, only a thin amount of the front surface of the teeth is removed, hence much of your natural tooth structure is preserved.
Unlike orthodontic treatment and braces, this one does not take a long time to achieve the results. The moment the veneers are set in place with the bonding material, the smile is immediately given an upgrade, which leaves a perfect set of teeth without any flaw in it.
The process for getting veneers at Art Family Dental is relatively simple and mostly involves two key visits. Here is a step-by-step of what you can expect:
In your first visit, Dr. Shah will examine your teeth, listen to your goals, and assess if veneers are the right solution. This is also when we take precise impressions of your teeth for custom-made veneers.
A very small amount of the enamel layer of the front surface will be removed to fit the veneers. This is done so that the veneers look normal and not bulky. You can get temporary veneers until the permanent ones are designed in order to protect your teeth.
The impressions taken during your first appointment are sent to our dental lab, where skilled technicians create your custom veneers. This process ensures that each veneer matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
When the custom veneers are finished, you will come back to our dental office for the final process of bonding. Dr. Shah will place the veneers on your teeth to check for fit and appearance, make any necessary adjustments, and then bond them permanently with a special adhesive.
Following the bonding of the veneers, continue maintaining good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, and attend regular follow-up visits. Avoid biting hard objects to maximize the longevity of your veneers, and visit us for routine cleanings and exams.
