Do you have badly stained, shaped, or crooked teeth? You can benefit from dental veneers. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic bonded to the front of your teeth. We recommend porcelain veneers in our Dallas, TX office for patients with chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced, or crooked teeth.
Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that improves the smile’s aesthetics. Dental veneers can change the color, shape, and size of teeth.
Who Benefits from Veneers?
We recommend veneers for patients with tough stains resistant to whitening treatment. Dental veneers also benefit patients with minor imperfections like tooth chips or cracks.
Veneers can do the following:
- Lengthen short teeth
- Cover slightly crooked teeth
- Brighten stained teeth
- Cover small gaps between teeth
Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline, an injury, or a root canal procedure. Veneers are also ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. Patients with gaps between their front teeth or chipped or worn teeth may consider porcelain veneers. Veneers resist permanent staining from coffee, tea, or cigarette smoking.
How Do Veneers Compare to Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding treatment and veneers are similar treatments because they treat damaged and discolored teeth. However, veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding. Tooth bonding is also best for one or several teeth, while veneers can cover one or all teeth in the smile zone.
Bonding may cost less than veneers, but veneers last longer. If you get veneers, you must be committed to covering your teeth with veneers or another treatment.
Porcelain Veneers in Dallas, TX
Typically, veneers entail at least three appointments: diagnosis and treatment planning, preparation and impression, and bonding.
Planning
Before veneer treatment, we will ensure you are in good oral health. If you have problems like gum disease or tooth decay, we will treat those problems first. During your consultation in our office, we will discuss your cosmetic goals and specific concerns. Once we determine you are a candidate for veneers, we will schedule treatment.
Impressions
We will remove a portion of your enamel to prepare for the veneers. Dental veneers are irreversible; removing a small amount of enamel from your teeth is necessary to accommodate the shell.
Then, we take dental impressions of your teeth. We send these impressions to a lab and will provide you with temporary veneers. Veneers are made by a dental lab technician working from a model provided by our dentist.
Final Adjustments
Once your final veneers are complete, you will return to our office. We will remove your temporary veneers and check the shape and shade of your final veneers. Finally, we will bond your final veneers to your teeth.
