What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin pieces of dental-grade porcelain that we permanently attach to the fronts of teeth. The veneers thus reshape the teeth and hide their imperfections. Some cosmetic issues that veneers are able to fix include:

• Discoloration
• Chips and cracks
• Small gaps between the teeth
• Teeth that appear too small

Some patients receive just one or two veneers to cover their most unattractive teeth, while others opt for a full set of 4 – 8 veneers that delivers more dramatic results.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Some of the most outstanding benefits of porcelain veneers include:

• Stain resistance. Porcelain is a nonporous material, which means that pigments from food and beverages cannot seep into and cause stains. You can expect your veneers to retain their luster for many years.
• In many cases, a set of veneers lasts for 10 years or longer before replacement becomes necessary. They are able to stand up to all the rigors of normal eating, drinking, and other everyday activities.
• Natural appearance. Veneers are custom-designed for each patient, with the patient’s aesthetic goals in mind. You do not have to worry that they will make your teeth look bulky or unnatural.
• The porcelain veneers process can be completed over the course of just two appointments.

The Porcelain Veneers Process

First, you will visit us for your consultation, during which your cosmetic dentist will help you determine whether you are a candidate for veneers. If you have an adequate amount of enamel on your teeth, and you are free of significant oral health concerns, it is likely that veneers will work for you.

 

After we confirm your candidacy for veneers, we will prepare your teeth by removing just a sliver of enamel from them. This is an important step because it ensures natural-looking results. Then, we will take impressions and images of your teeth, which will serve as the basis for designing your veneers. While a dental laboratory creates them, you will wear temporary veneers to protect your teeth. Then, you will return to our office for the second part of the veneer procedure. We will verify that your veneers are an ideal fit for your unique mouth and face before we permanently attach them to your teeth.

Understanding the Cost of Veneers

The cost of veneers in New Haven depends on a few different factors. Generally speaking, they tend to have a higher price than other cosmetic treatments. However, they are a worthwhile investment for image-conscious individuals who are looking for a long-lasting, high-quality way to hide their smile’s imperfections. Of course, they are not a fit for everyone who wants to enhance their look. When you come in for your consultation, we will help you compare all of your aesthetic treatment options.
