What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of your teeth to improve everything from your smile's alignment to aesthetic appeal. Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental option for adults and seniors, as they can withstand years of biting and chewing. You can also brush and floss them as you would your natural teeth, which means you don't have to make drastic changes to your daily oral care routine.
When you visit our dental office for the first time, Dr. Barry will ask you various questions about your smile. Are you self-conscious about the shape or color of your teeth? Have other cosmetic dental options not met your needs? From there, we'll break down some of the benefits of our Union Square porcelain veneers to help you determine if they're right for you. The most notable benefits include:
- Covering minor chips or cracks in your teeth.
- Concealing deep teeth staining and discoloration.
- Improving minor teeth misalignment.
- Reducing gaps between your teeth.
- Helping make your teeth appear balanced in size.
What You Can Expect During Placement
Our dental practice has spent years improving our porcelain veneer placement process to be as efficient as possible so we can keep your time in the exam chair to a minimum. We have the capability to restore either a single tooth or your full range of visible upper and lower arches. Once you and Dr. Barry have agreed that porcelain veneers are right for your needs, our team will take x-ray images of your smile. If we notice any situations that could complicate placement, like tooth decay, we'll work with you to address them before moving forward with veneer placement.
Our dentist will begin by taking detailed impressions of your smile to send to a trusted local dental lab. The lab will then work on creating your custom porcelain veneers, which typically take around two weeks to complete. Once your veneers are ready, we'll call you back to our office to place them and make any necessary adjustments for a secure and comfortable fit.
Porcelain Veneers FAQs
We understand that you may have various questions about our Union Square porcelain veneers. That's why our team is here to answer any of your questions and help you make confident decisions about your smile. Some of the most frequently asked questions about porcelain veneers include:
Immediately after the placement of your veneers, it's normal to experience some sensitivity to hot or cold. However, you can expect any sensitivity to disappear over the following days as your teeth adapt to their new restorations.
When correctly placed, veneers should not severely alter your teeth. However, it's necessary to reshape your teeth's enamel slightly with porcelain veneers. This slight reshaping won't impact their overall appearance or functionality.
No. A dental veneer is placed over the surface of your tooth and keeps the tooth's structure intact. Dental implants, however, replace your tooth from root to crown.
It depends entirely on how well you care for them. With proper oral care and regular visits to our office, you can expect your veneers to last around ten years.
