Learn About Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers have many benefits; there is a reason they are popular in the cosmetic dental field. They have a natural appearance and don’t stain easily. Unless you tell someone, it will be impossible for them to figure out if your teeth are natural or not. They are strong, durable, and long-lasting, working just like natural teeth. The procedure is more straightforward than placing a crown or cap, as less enamel needs to be removed.

There are four main steps in the process of placing porcelain veneers:

1. Your Dallas dentist will remove a small amount of your natural enamel from both the front and sides of the affected tooth. This will ensure that the veneer will fit properly and blend in with your smile.
2. An impression will be made of your prepared teeth, and your dentist will choose a shade that best matches your smile.
3. Once the impression has been taken, it will be sent to a dental lab so that your porcelain veneers can be custom-made to fit your mouth.
4. During your second visit, the porcelain veneers will be placed to ensure they fit correctly. Once adjustments are made, your teeth will be cleaned and prepped before your dentist bonds the veneers to them.

If any further adjustments need to be made, you will be able to make a follow-up appointment.

Before you get your porcelain veneers, your smile must be in good health. At the beginning of the process, your Dallas dentist will thoroughly clean your mouth and ensure no concerning disease or decay is present. It will also be determined if this treatment is the best option for your dental needs. For example, your dentist may recommend whitening if you are dealing with staining. While veneers can treat this, they may not be necessary unless a more permanent solution is needed.

Porcelain veneers are now more affordable and accessible than ever. Most patients desire long-term fixes to common dental problems. After all, who wants to return to the dentist’s office more often than necessary? With this treatment, the cost will vary depending on the number of teeth a patient wants to fix. Once your porcelain veneers are in place, you will not need to redo the process for at least ten years if you care for them properly!

Caring for your new veneers is simple. You must maintain a proper brushing and flossing routine and avoid foods that can stain or wear them down. If a patient keeps up with this in addition to staying on top of their biyearly oral hygiene appointments and checkups, the veneers may even last twenty years. If you decide to move forward with this option, you may need less dental treatment over time, and you will have a beautiful smile that increases your quality of life and confidence.
