Veneers Can Give White, Bright Teeth for The New Year

If you've always wanted whiter teeth, the New Year is a great time to get started. There are a variety of whitening options available, and our dentist can help you determine the best option for your needs and goals.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a great way to whiten and brighten your teeth quickly. They are thin sheaths of material that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They cover your stained surfaces and create a new appearance that looks brighter and younger!

Veneers are a very popular cosmetic dental treatment because they offer great results and come in a variety of shades to match any tooth color. They can completely change the size, shape, length, and color of any teeth on the smile. Many patients choose to get veneers placed on all of their front teeth to create a bright and beautiful smile that will not be susceptible to discoloration in the future.

The procedure to place porcelain veneers is minimally invasive and can be completed in as little as two visits. Your dentist will remove the outer layer of your enamel to prepare your tooth for the bonding process. Then an impression of the tooth will be taken and sent to an outside lab where your veneer will be custom-made for you. Once your veneer is ready, you will return to our office, and the veneer will be attached to your teeth with a special resin, and we will carefully shape and contour it to meet the exact shape and size of your smile. 

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of tooth-shaped ceramic that is placed over the surface of a tooth to cover and repair issues like chips, cracks, and stains. These custom-crafted restorations blend with your natural teeth for a natural-looking appearance while providing strength comparable to natural tooth enamel. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last between 10-20 years. Since they are resistant to staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and other stain-causing foods, you can enjoy your morning coffee or glass of Merlot without worry!

Your dentist may recommend these restorations if you have issues with your teeth that you are unhappy with. Veneers are also often used to treat teeth that are crooked, gapped, or misshapen. If your smile is affecting your confidence, talk to your dentist about porcelain veneers. They can restore your smile to its former glory and provide you with a new reason to flash your best smile this year!
