Dental Veneer

Transform your smile with dental veneers, crafted to enhance the appearance of your teeth, covering imperfections and ensuring a brighter, more confident smile.

Overview

Dental veneers are tooth-colored thin shells used to cover the front surface of teeth to beautify and impair their appearance. They’re often made from porcelain or composite materials and are permanently attached to your teeth. They treat several cosmetic concerns, including chipped, broken, discolored, or smaller-than-average teeth.

Veneers have different applications than tooth implants or crowns. Veneers cover the front surface of the tooth. Implants, on the other hand, replace the entire tooth, and crowns encase the entire tooth.

Reasons

Veneers improve your teeth’s appearance, giving you an attractive and brighter smile. Dental veneers are often used for the following reasons: 

  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Severe discoloration or uneven coloring that can’t be fixed with whitening
  • Gaps in the teeth
  • Smaller-than-average teeth
  • Pointed or unusually shaped teeth

X-rays of your teeth will be taken to evaluate their health. Extra treatments may be needed for tooth decay, gum disease, or root canals. 

To get accurate sizing for your veneers, your dentist trims down about half a millimeter of your tooth and then takes a mold of your teeth. This mold is then sent to the lab for the creation of your veneers.

Anesthesia

Before we get started, you will be sedated, and you will receive medication to numb the area. 

Time Needed

Three days are needed to complete the whole process. 

Recovery

Some soring and swelling might occur for a few days after the application. This can be controlled by taking medicine that your dentist suggests. In addition, your dentist suggests not eating solid food within a couple of days.  

Return to Work

You can return to work immediately after the application. 

FAQ

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are commonly made from porcelain or composite materials and are used to address cosmetic issues such as chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth.

Dental Veneers are recommended if you have teeth that are chipped, broken, severely discolored, or smaller than average. They can also be used to close gaps between teeth or to correct the shape of pointed or unevenly shaped teeth.

Dental Veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth, improving its appearance. In contrast, implants replace the entire tooth, while crowns encase the entire tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength.

Before starting, you will be sedated and receive local anesthesia to numb the area. Your dentist will trim about half a millimeter of enamel from your tooth’s surface and take impressions to create custom veneers. The veneers are then permanently bonded to your teeth during a subsequent appointment.

After getting Dental Veneers, you may experience some minor soreness and swelling for a few days. Your dentist may recommend medication to manage discomfort and advise avoiding solid foods for a couple of days post-application. You can generally return to work immediately after the procedure.
