Dental Veneers.
Perfect Your Smile
At Beyond Smiles Family Dental, we offer dental veneers as a versatile solution for enhancing the appearance of your teeth. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, providing a natural, attractive appearance. They are ideal for patients looking to correct imperfections such as discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth.
What are dental veneers? Dental veneers are typically made of either porcelain or composite resin. They are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic solution that can completely transform your smile.
Who can benefit from dental veneers? Veneers are a popular choice for patients who want to address:
- Discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening treatments
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned, irregularly shaped, or uneven teeth
- Worn-down teeth
Types of veneers:
- Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are highly durable and resistant to staining, providing a more natural tooth-like appearance. They are custom-crafted in a dental lab to ensure a precise fit. Porcelain veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed from the tooth surface before placement, making them a permanent solution.
- Composite Resin Veneers: Composite veneers are made from a tooth-colored resin applied directly to the teeth. While they are less durable than porcelain veneers, composite veneers require less enamel removal and are typically more affordable. These veneers can also be repaired easily if damaged.
The veneer process:
- Consultation: Your journey to a new smile begins with a consultation at Beyond Smiles Family Dental. We’ll assess your oral health and discuss your goals to determine if veneers are the right option for you.
- Preparation: Once you decide to proceed with veneers, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneer. For porcelain veneers, impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your custom veneers are created.
- Bonding: When your veneers are ready, they are carefully bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit, so your new smile looks and feels natural.
Benefits of dental veneers:
- Aesthetic improvement: Veneers offer a fast and effective way to achieve a beautiful smile.
- Stain resistance: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to common staining agents like coffee, tea, and wine.
- Durability: With proper care, veneers can last many years.
- Natural appearance: The translucent properties of porcelain veneers mimic the natural light-reflecting qualities of tooth enamel.
Caring for your veneers: Maintaining your veneers is simple. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, will help ensure the longevity of your veneers. Avoiding habits like biting nails or chewing on hard objects will also help prevent damage.
