The Benefits of Veneers

Porcelain veneers resolve issues with teeth: badly stained, poorly shaped or crooked. Veneers are thin porcelain dental appliances cemented over natural teeth to change their color and/or shape. They're a better option, compared to bondings for example, because they have a longer life expectancy, color stability, and are highly resist to permanent staining from eating certain foods or beverages.

Veneers fix a variety of problems, other than those mentioned above, like:

  • uneven surfaces
  • chipped
  • discolored
  • oddly shaped
  • unevenly spaced

Veneers take at least three appointments because your dentist must first diagnose and treatment any underlying issues and determine if you're a good candidate for veneers; then come up with a plan; then prepare the permanent veneers by creating the mold sent to a dental lab; and finally bond the veneers to your teeth.

The procedure is quick and painless, requiring little to no anesthesia. A dental lab technician creates permanent veneers from a model provided by your Santa Rosa Beach and DeFuniak Springs dentist and your dentist takes care of the rest. Your dentist removes a small amount of enamel off the surface of your teeth, an irreversible procedure, to accommodate the shell, about half a millimeter of enamel is removed.

The porcelain veneers will mask the undesirable defects mentioned above when bonded to the surface then lightly buffed. Then you're ready to go with your new smile.

To properly care for veneers, make sure you brush and floss everyday. Use a soft-bristled tooth brush and change it when bristles are frayed. Also, visit your dentist every six months for dental checkups, as a preventative measure to catch any issues in their early stages, and get professional dental cleanings.
