Veneers Q & A
What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that look just like the front side of a tooth. The team at Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group can improve the look of your smile with veneers by using them to cover cosmetic imperfections.
Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
Once your veneers are sealed in place, they look just like flawless natural teeth. You can get a single veneer to improve the appearance of just one tooth, or you can opt for an entire set to entirely redesign your smile.
How can Veneers Improve my Smile?
Some of the conditions that Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group commonly addresses with veneers include:
- Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Stains and discoloration that haven’t responded to teeth whitening
- Widely spaced teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth Uneven teeth
- Worn-down teeth
You don’t need to have a particular cosmetic flaw to improve your smile with veneers. Many people choose veneers to generally improve their appearance and to makeover their smile so that it matches their aesthetic taste.
What Happens When I get Veneers?
The team at Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group can fit you with your veneers in two easy office visits.
The first visit is a consultation and preparation for your veneers. You and the team discuss your aesthetic goals and how you’d like to enhance the look of your smile, then you work together to pick the shade, shape, and size of your veneers.
Once you’ve selected your veneers, the team prepares your mouth by removing a layer of enamel from the front of the teeth on which the veneers will be placed. This is necessary so that they lay flush against your gums and look natural in your smile. Because the veneers are so thin, the team only needs to remove a small amount of enamel.
After your teeth are prepared, the team takes an impression of your mouth and fits you with a set of temporary veneers. You wear these temporaries while a specialized lab uses your impression to fabricate your veneers, which only takes a couple of weeks.
When your permanent veneers are ready, you come back to Dreamtime Dentistry Dental Group for another visit. The team removes your temporary veneers and seals your permanent ones in place, giving you a beautiful new smile.
