What are porcelain veneers?

Dental veneers are incredibly thin porcelain “shells” that fit over the front portion of your teeth to correct a range of cosmetic issues. They offer the chance to achieve a durable, gorgeous, and lasting smile in a relatively short period of time.

What issues can porcelain veneers correct?

A set of porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of teeth that are:

• Worn down
• Chipped
• Broken
• Gapped
• Discolored
• Misshapen
• Misaligned

Sitting down with your provider can help you better understand what dental veneers can do for your smile and whether they’re better possible treatment options.

What types of veneers are available?

Dental Implant Specialists of Florida offers several types of porcelain veneers, including:

• Stacked ceramic- These are veneers crafted with hands by a dentist to match the shape, color, etc., of your teeth. They offer superior aesthetics and customization.
• Pressed ceramic- They are the easiest to manufacture and are thicker than any other veneers, making them durable and strong.
• Lithium disilicate- they are ideal for patients who have teeth grinding issues or bruxism.

The Dental Implant Specialists of Florida team can help you determine what type of veneers would be best for you during an in-office consultation.

 What is the process for getting porcelain veneers?

Once you and your dentist determine that veneers are the right treatment path, you come in for the initial portion of the process. 

The team at Dental Implant Specialists of Florida administers a local anesthetic to help you remain comfortable as they carefully remove a very small portion of your tooth enamel.

This makes room for your new veneers to fit properly over the surface of your natural tooth tissue. They then use advanced digital imaging to design your new smile and mill your porcelain veneers.

Once your new porcelain veneers are ready, the team checks them for optimal fit and aesthetic appeal. When they’re happy with the results, they cement your new veneers into place. 

Tinted cement allows your dentist to make any shade adjustments necessary to help your veneers blend in with your natural teeth.

You walk out of the office with a new smile. 

How long do dental veneers last?

With proper care, your new veneers last for many years before they need to be replaced. You can make the most of your investment by avoiding using your teeth as tools, never biting down on hard foods or objects, and maintaining healthy oral hygiene habits.
