Porcelain Veneers in Crown Point

All About Porcelain Veneers

Unlike porcelain crowns and artificial teeth, veneers porcelain and composite are designed to fit over natural teeth to correct minor cosmetic issues, including the following:

• Stains and discolored teeth
• Chips and cracks
• Uneven or slightly crooked teeth

Composite bonding processes differ from those involved in the porcelain veneers procedure in a few ways:

• Composites are applied to the teeth before they are shaped and sculpted. This allows greater flexibility in creating a beautiful smile. Porcelain veneers, by contrast, are usually fabricated before application and cannot be easily altered during the process.
• Porcelain is much more durable than composite materials and can enhance your smile for years to come.

Our dentists can help you determine which of these procedures is best suited to your needs and to your budget.

Planning for Your Porcelain Veneers Procedure

Your dentist will let you know whether you will require anesthesia during any part of your treatment. In some cases, you may have a short wait between your initial preparatory visit and the arrival of your porcelain veneers. A temporary veneer may be used to protect your teeth during this one or two-week period. If the affected teeth are still in good shape, however, you may not require these temporary measures. Following the instructions provided by your dentist is the best way to ensure the results you want from your new porcelain teeth.

What to Expect from Your Porcelain Veneers

Once the porcelain veneers have been permanently affixed to your teeth, you can expect a more uniform and attractive appearance, and a brighter smile. These dental appliances can be cleaned and brushed in the same way as your natural teeth. Regular checkups are necessary to ensure that your veneers stay attached and perform as expected throughout their useful life. Your new look can provide you with added confidence and improved self-esteem to take on all your daily tasks.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?

If you have minor cosmetic issues that affect the appearance of your smile, you may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers or other dental procedures designed to address these problems. Cigarette or coffee stains, discoloration due to medications, and small chips and cracks can often be resolved with composite bonding or porcelain veneers.
