What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth. They are made from either porcelain or composite resin, and we customize them to match the color and shape of your natural teeth. Veneers are an excellent option for those looking to improve the appearance of their teeth without invasive procedures.
Why Choose Veneers?
Veneers offer numerous benefits that make them an ideal solution for many patients. Some of the top reasons why people choose veneers include:
- Improved Appearance: Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic dental concerns, such as discoloration, misalignment, and chips or cracks in teeth.
- Long-lasting Results: With proper care, veneers can last up to 10-15 years, making them a sustainable and cost-effective option for improving your smile.
- Minimal Preparation: Unlike other dental treatments like crowns or braces, veneers require minimal tooth preparation. This means less discomfort and a quicker treatment process.
- Natural Look: Veneers are custom-made to match your natural teeth, giving you a seamless, natural-looking smile.
The Process of Getting Veneers
At Sky Family Dental, our team of experienced dentists will guide you through the veneer process step by step:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, we will assess your dental concerns and determine if veneers are the right solution. We will also discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure.
- Preparation: We will prepare your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel from the surface to make room for the veneers. This process is painless and usually does not require anesthesia.
- Impression: Next, we will take impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers that fit perfectly over your natural teeth.
- Temporary Veneers: While skilled technicians craft your permanent veneers in a dental lab, we will provide temporary veneers to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics.
- Bonding: Once your permanent veneers are ready, we will carefully place them on your teeth using a special bonding agent. After ensuring they fit properly and match the color of your natural teeth, we will use a light beam to cure the adhesive, securing the veneers in place.
- Follow-up: We will schedule a follow-up appointment to check the fit and comfort of your veneers and make any necessary adjustments.
Caring for Your Veneers
Proper care is essential for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your veneers. Here are some tips to help you take care of your new smile:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from in between your teeth.
- Avoid using excessive force when biting or chewing hard objects, as this can damage your veneers.
- Visit our office regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups to maintain your oral health.
Are Veneers Right for You?
Veneers may be the perfect solution for you if you have:
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Gaps between your teeth
- Misaligned or unevenly shaped teeth
- Damaged, chipped, or cracked teeth
However, veneers may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss all possible treatment options with you to help you make an informed decision.
