What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are shells that our dentists have custom made to fit precisely over the front surface of your teeth. The goal is to camouflage a wide range of imperfections, such as cracks, chips, gaps, discolored teeth or to create a more uniform looking smile. Using high-quality dental materials and porcelain components, each individual shell is personally crafted to deliver your ideal smile goals.

Reasons Why You May Consider Porcelain Veneers

It’s no secret that a brighter, straighter smile can boost a person’s self-esteem and confidence. Not to mention, when other people see you smile you may appear more friendly and personable. Here are some reasons why you may want to consider porcelain veneers:

  • Chipped teeth
  • Cracked teeth
  • Stained teeth
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Enlarging your teeth

Dr. Minch or Dr. Newton will first determine if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers. If you have cavities, gum disease or suffer from poor oral health our team may not recommend them at this time. However, we are happy to help address these important issues first before taking the next step toward enhancing your smile.

How Does The Application Process Work?

After your initial consultation, where we will discuss your dental goals and determine if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers, we will take impressions of your teeth. These are used to make your custom veneers. They are sent off to a lab, and it can take several weeks before they come into our office. Then, we will prep the teeth by removing part of the enamel. You will go home and return to our office for a second appointment when your veneers arrive, likely in a few weeks.

During your second appointment, our team will first check the shape, color and fit of your veneers. If everything looks good to both you and your dentist, then we will permanently bond them to your teeth using dental cement. At the end, Dr. Minch or Dr. Newton will check your bite to make sure they are set properly.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Considering veneers? This treatment is a comfortable, easy and non-surgical way to enhance your smile. Our porcelain veneers offer a range of benefits including:

No Downtime

There is no recovery period, so you can get back to your daily routine right after your appointment.

Our team strives to make you as comfortable as possible. Thanks to our advanced technology, receiving your porcelain veneers is painless!

If you take proper care of your veneers, they can last for an average of 10-20 years.

The high-grade material is likely to avoid staining from dark colored beverages like coffee and wine compared to your natural teeth.

Caring For Your Porcelain Veneers

If you want to make sure your new porcelain veneers last, all you have to do is take great care of them! You will want to keep up with good oral habits like brushing twice a day for two minutes, flossing and rinsing. We recommend using a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste and avoid using teeth whitening products—not only do you not need them now with your new bright teeth, but they also can scratch your veneers. At Marc A. Minch, DMD, we also recommend you avoid biting into any hard or crunchy foods like apples, carrots or corn on the cob. Instead, cut them up and chew using your back molars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Making changes to your smile is a personal decision, and understanding your treatment options can help you move forward with confidence. Dr. Minch, Dr. Newton and our team are happy to guide you through the process and address any concerns along the way. Here are answers to a few common questions about veneers:

Am I a good candidate for veneers?

The best candidates typically have healthy teeth and gums and would like to improve cosmetic concerns affecting their smile. Whether you are bothered by discoloration, small chips, gaps or unevenly shaped teeth, Dr. Minch or Dr. Newton can evaluate your individual needs and help determine if veneers are a suitable option.

The amount of enamel removed depends on your individual treatment plan and the condition of your teeth. In many cases, minimal preparation is needed to create space for the restoration. Dr. Minch and Dr. Newton take a thoughtful, holistic approach and will discuss what is involved before treatment begins.

Yes. After your new restorations have been placed, you can typically maintain your usual eating habits without major restrictions. Protecting your veneers starts with making thoughtful choices about habits that could put added stress on your smile.

Can veneers fix crooked teeth?

Veneers may help improve the appearance of teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven, giving your smile a more uniform look. For more complex alignment or bite concerns, a different approach may be recommended, as veneers do not change the position of your teeth. Our dentists can assess your individual needs and discuss the options best suited to your smile.

While veneers are made to withstand everyday use, damage can occasionally occur. If you notice a chip, crack or change in your restoration, let our team know so Dr. Minch or Dr. Newton can examine it. After evaluating the area, he can recommend whether the veneer can be repaired or if replacing it would be the better solution.

You can help maintain your veneers by following the same healthy habits that support your natural teeth. A consistent routine of brushing and flossing, along with regular dental checkups, can help keep your teeth and gums healthy. It is also a good idea to avoid habits that may place excessive pressure on your teeth, such as chewing on hard objects.
