What You Should Know About Getting Teeth Veneers

If your teeth are stained, chipped, uneven, worn, or dingy, you could be a candidate for veneers. Cosmetic veneers are tooth-colored porcelain shells that Dr. Kaveen can bond to the surface of your teeth to improve their esthetics. Veneers don’t actually change the physical aspects of your teeth. They merely camouflage imperfections to transform your defective grin into the smile you’ve always wanted.

If you’re unhappy with certain aspects of your smile, you can change these features with veneers. Porcelain veneer treatment is the perfect smile makeover as it can correct multiple tooth flaws in one procedure. With veneers, your smile can look brighter, straighter, fuller, and healthier in as little as two dental visits. By placing veneers on chipped or cracked teeth, Dr. Kaveen can strengthen their structure and improve their appearance. As porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, you can continue enjoying your coffee, tea, wine, and other stain-causing foods and drinks (in moderation, of course!) without worrying about discoloring your teeth again.  

Veneers can generally be completed in two dental visits. On your first visit, Dr. Kaveen will inspect your teeth, assess the problems you’d like to fix, and discuss your options for veneer treatment. If we feel you’re a good candidate for veneers, we’ll prep your teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate your veneers. Then, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and send them to an off-site lab where porcelain veneers are created. In the meantime, we’ll protect your teeth with temporary veneers to avoid sensitivity. When your porcelain veneers are ready, the temporary veneers will be removed, and your permanent ones will be cemented in place. Your smile transformation will then be complete.
