What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers in Buzzards Bay are thin, custom-cut pieces of porcelain or ceramic that we permanently attach to the fronts of our patients’ teeth. The veneers are able to disguise a broad range of imperfections, including:
- Minor dental misalignment
- Discoloration
- Cracks and chips
- Teeth that appear too small
- Asymmetrical teeth
- And more!
Veneers are an extremely durable cosmetic solution that has the potential to last for 15 – 20 year or longer (many cosmetic treatments last just a few years). They are stain-resistant, incredibly natural-looking, and customized to meet each patient’s preferences and desires.
The Process of Getting Veneers
If you are interested in receiving veneers, contact us to schedule a cosmetic consultation. We will evaluate your oral health, help you compare your treatment options for improving your teeth’s appearance, and design a custom plan to help you reach your goals. If you have specific goals in mind for your smile — for example, if you want your teeth to be a particular shape or color — be sure to let us know.
If we determine that veneers are a fit for you, we will prepare your teeth by removing a sliver of enamel from them. This step is necessary to ensure that your veneers will not make your teeth look bulky or unnatural. Then, we will take some images and impressions of your teeth. A dental laboratory will use that information, along with detailed notes from our team, to create your custom veneers.
You will wear temporary veneers for a brief period while the laboratory fabricates your permanent ones. When they are ready, you will return to our office. After we verify that the veneers are an ideal fit for you, we will attach them to your teeth.
The Benefits of Veneers
Some of the most outstanding benefits of veneers include:
- Longevity. Veneers may last for a decade or longer before replacement becomes necessary.
- Easy maintenance. Caring for veneers is simple and does not require patients to make any time-consuming changes to their daily oral hygiene routine.
- Natural appearance. Porcelain bears a close resemblance to natural tooth enamel. It even reflects light in a similar way. Your dentist will shade match the porcelain to the surrounding dentition so it blends in seamlessly.
- Stain resistance. Porcelain is nonporous, which means that things like coffee and red wine will not soak into it and cause discoloration. You can expect your veneers to maintain their original luster for a long time.
- No cavities. Of course, you will still need to care for the teeth beneath the veneers. However, the veneers themselves will not deteriorate as they are exposed to all of your favorite foods and drinks.
