Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can transform the appearance of a patient's smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their shape, size, and color. They are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and are designed to look and feel like natural teeth.
At our local family dental practice, we offer veneers as a cosmetic treatment option for patients who are looking to improve the appearance of their teeth. Veneers can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, including chipped, cracked, or stained teeth, as well as gaps between teeth and misshapen teeth. The process of getting veneers typically involves two appointments. During the first appointment, we will prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel and taking impressions of the teeth. These impressions will be used to create custom veneers that are tailored to the patient's unique smile. During the second appointment, the veneers will be bonded to the teeth using a special dental adhesive.

1. What are dental veneers and how do they work?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and misalignment. The process involves removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface, taking impressions of the teeth, and then bonding the veneers to the teeth using a special adhesive.
2. Are veneers a good option for me?
Veneers can be a great option for people who want to improve the appearance of their teeth and have healthy teeth and gums. However, they may not be suitable for everyone. Your family dentist can evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals to determine if veneers are the right choice for you. It's important to note that veneers are a cosmetic treatment and may not be covered by insurance.
3. How long do veneers last and how do I care for them?
With proper care, veneers can last for many years. Porcelain veneers are typically more durable than composite resin veneers and can last up to 15 years or more. To care for your veneers, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice a day and flossing daily. You should also avoid biting or chewing on hard objects, such as ice or pens, and avoid using your teeth as tools. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can also help to ensure the longevity of your veneers.
