Veneers are a more uniform solution to chips, cracks, and overall imperfections in your teeth than fillings. At DMD Dental, we can help you learn more about this cosmetic and restorative option.
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin coverings that sit over a portion of the tooth, creating the appearance of a bright, complete smile. They’re typically made from porcelain or ceramic materials and are custom-made to enhance the natural appearance of your smile. Veneers are only recommended if you have no signs of periodontitis disease.
What are the Benefits of Veneers?
Veneers can cover up a wide range of imperfections, such as:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Gaps
- Stains
- Misalignments
- Discoloration
- Damaged enamel
- Yellowing
Veneers enhance the cosmetic appearance for your teeth, but they can also protect your teeth from damage. Because they are customized to your natural smile, veneers can also cover up previous dental work or fillings. Veneers can also be created in a specific shade, allowing you to permanently achieve a brighter, whiter smile.
What Can I Expect From Veneers?
Because veneers fit over the teeth, Dr. Du Mond will prepare your teeth by conservatively removing enamel while still ensuring the integrity and structure remain intact. An impression or scan of your teeth will be taken and sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be fabricated. Once they’re complete, Dr. Du Mond will fit the veneers in place and cement them. Finally, she will check your bite to ensure it’s balanced and healthy.
The Veneer Process and Beyond
Veneers can last years, depending on your oral care and habits, including nutrition and the specific material chosen. You can extend the life of your veneers by avoiding using your teeth as tools, avoiding grinding your teeth, and avoiding hard, chewy, or sticky foods. You can avoid stains by drinking coffee, red wine, and black tea in moderation, making sure to drink water afterward. Take care of your veneers the same way as your natural teeth, meaning brush twice daily and floss at least once per day. Finally, see Dr. Du Mond regularly for a check-up appointment where she can assess the life of your veneers and keep watch for any signs of disease.
