Porcelain Veneers
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are a thin, semi-translucent laminates permanently bonded to
your teeth. While they're not suitable for every patient, veneers are
the best aesthetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions involving
the front teeth.
Advantages and Benefits of Veneers:
There are several good reasons to consider having porcelain veneers placed
on your front teeth:
• The procedure takes only two appointments
• A conservative amount of tooth structure is removed during the
procedure
• Veneers are the most biocompatible material you can use next to
the gum
• A healthy natural look is achieved; in fact, porcelain veneers
are the considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing restoration
in dentistry.
How are Porcelain Veneers Done?
At your first appointment the teeth are prepared for the veneers and
an impression is taken. This impression is sent to our lab where each
porcelain veneer is custom made to Dr Netsky’s specifications.
At your first visit, Dr. Netsky will fabricate an attractive temporary veneer so you will not have to wait to simulate your new smile, and you can expect to leave the first appointment looking better than when you came in.
At the second appointment, after the lab has completed the veneers, the temporaries are removed and the final veneers are permanently adhered to the natural teeth.
What to Expect:
Veneers can last indefinitely, depending on how well you take care of
them. Because veneers are stronger than simple bonding, they are also
more resistant to stains and chipping. You must maintain regular oral
hygiene at home and visit us for routine cleanings and exams. This is
to ensure that your new veneers will look as good as new.
Another important point is that oral habits that damage natural teeth such as nail biting, opening bobby pins, and chewing on hard objects can also damage your new veneers. Once veneers are applied treat them like natural teeth. They look great and are extremely durable.
