What to Expect
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are commonly used to address dental issues like discoloration, chipping, gaps between teeth, or minor misalignment. Veneers offer a versatile and long-lasting solution for achieving a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Before Treatment
Getting veneers for your teeth can change your entire appearance. You and your dentist will determine which kind of veneers are the best for your treatment plan. The different types are: Lithium disilicate: A durable dental porcelain Pressed ceramic: Strong and thicker than other types of veneers Stacked ceramic: Customizable veneers using stacked ceramic
During Treatment
Getting dental veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken, and a shade match is determined by you and the dentist. On the second visit, the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to allow bonding cement to adhere between the veneer and the tooth. A special light beam is used to harden and set the bonding cement.
After Treatment
Here are a few things to keep in mind after your first veneer appointment. Porcelain veneers, on average, last 10-20 years when taken care of properly. Your new smile will be permanent and will last many years. However, just as natural teeth can become damaged or worn, the same can happen with porcelain veneers. You should practice regular brushing and flossing just as you would with natural teeth to prevent cavities and stains.
Your Smile, Our Priority
Your first visit is to prepare your teeth for the veneers. They will be cleaned and shaped so that the veneers will fit perfectly over them. Once the color, size, and shape have been determined by your dental professional, the dentist will then send a plaster cast to the lab. You will receive care instructions from our Mansfield dental office after the veneer procedure is complete.
