What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are shells your dentist bonds to the sides and front of your teeth, eliminating any imperfections to create the perfect smile. Porcelain veneers look just like natural, gorgeous teeth. They offer the flattering smile you desire without pain or downtime. Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces customize cosmetic dental solutions based on your goals. 

Which benefits do porcelain veneers offer? 

Receiving porcelain veneers at Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces creates teeth that are:

• Whiter
• Brighter
• Stronger
• Even-shaped
• Perfect
• Beautiful
• Longer-lasting

Veneers don’t change your teeth; rather, they cover your teeth to create a new exterior. Veneers are comfortable, stain-resistant, and long-lasting. They may last several decades when cared for properly. 

Am I a candidate for porcelain veneers?

To determine if you’re a candidate for porcelain veneers, the Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces team examines your gums and teeth, discusses the results of your dental X-rays, reviews your oral health history, and asks about your cosmetic goals.

In addition to veneers, Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces provides dental bridges, dental implants, teeth whitening, dental bonding, dental fillings, and smile makeovers. Veneers are a common component of a smile makeover.

What should I expect when receiving porcelain veneers?

To create porcelain veneers, your Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces provider takes a mold of your teeth or digitally scans your mouth. This allows a dental lab to create custom-fitted veneers. When they’re ready, your dentist may numb your mouth and remove a small portion of enamel from your teeth. 

They securely bond the veneers to the surface of your teeth and ensure they fit properly and comfortably. 

How should I care for my new porcelain veneers?

Taking care of your new veneers involves brushing your teeth after meals, flossing every day, and not chewing on hard things. Schedule routine dental cleanings and exams at Smile Structure Dentistry and Braces at least every six months, and call your dentist if the veneers become damaged. Wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth from grinding at night.
