Porcelain veneers in Florida

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of dental porcelain that are attached to the front surface of the tooth to correct unsightly gaps, chips, or discoloration. Many common cosmetic dental issues can be fixed using veneers. For example:

• Discolored teeth can add years to your appearance. Veneers can restore brightness to a smile that appears yellow and dull. The advantage of veneers is that they offer more flexibility than traditional teeth whitening treatments in terms of customizing the level of brightness.
• Chipped teeth can make you feel self-conscious, especially in situations where you know that your appearance will be scrutinized, such as a job interview. Veneers are an affordable way to restore the shape of teeth that are damaged, worn, or simply not in proportion with the size and shape of the face.
• Many adults feel uncomfortable wearing braces or aligners to correct the position of their teeth. Veneers are a fast and discreet way to create a straighter and more uniform smile.

Are Porcelain Crowns and Veneers the Same Thing?

Crowns and veneers are made from the same materials, but they serve different purposes. Veneers are used to fix cosmetic imperfections in otherwise healthy teeth and only cover the front surface of the tooth. Crowns, also referred to as caps or porcelain teeth, are permanently secured over the entire tooth. Not only does this improve the aesthetics of the tooth, but it also makes the tooth stronger. Crowns are typically used when much of the tooth structure has been lost due to trauma, age, or decay. They are also preferred for the back teeth since the molars provide most of the bite force when chewing. Because of how they are attached to the teeth, the dentist typically has to remove more of the natural tooth enamel for a crown than a veneer.

How Do I Keep My Veneers Looking Their Best?

Basic oral hygiene techniques are all that you need to keep your veneers looking bright for years to come. We recommend brushing twice a day and flossing daily. You should also have routine dental exams and professional cleanings.

What Is the Process for Attaching Porcelain Veneers?

The porcelain veneers procedure begins with the dentist making a mold of your teeth. This is used to customize your veneers to the correct size and shape. Depending on the type of veneer that you choose, the dentist may have to remove a small layer of tooth enamel so that the veneer will fit properly. This is a painless process. A special adhesive is then used to secure the veneer to the front surface of the tooth. Once in place, your veneers will look and feel just like natural teeth.

Does Veneer Porcelain Last a Long Time?

Our high-quality veneers resist staining and can last for many years with proper care and good oral hygiene. Of course, you can damage your veneers if you use your teeth for things other than chewing, such as opening bottles or ripping open packages.
