What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth. They are very thin, and they are typically made out of porcelain or ceramic, both of which can be customized to blend in with your natural smile. Placing veneers over your teeth can hide all kinds of flaws, making this treatment an excellent option for patients who want to make multiple changes to their teeth but aren’t sure where to start.
The Process of Getting Veneers
The process will begin with an initial consultation, where our team will determine whether you’re a candidate for veneers. If you are, we’ll put together a treatment plan and make sure that you have a clear idea of what to expect.
Before you can receive veneers, we’ll need to take a small amount of enamel off your teeth. After that, impressions of your smile will be captured. A separate dental lab will design and create your veneers with the help of the provided impressions. Note that we’ll attach temporary veneers to keep your prepared teeth safe until the permanent veneers are ready.
At the end of the process, we’ll take the temporary veneers off your teeth. The permanent ones will be securely attached with a special adhesive. Once we’ve made the necessary adjustments, you’ll be ready to show off your new smile to the world!
The Benefits of Veneers
- Veneers can be used to make all kinds of cosmetic corrections at the same time.
- The entire process of placing veneers can be completed in as little as two appointments.
- Your veneers will be carefully customized to look as natural as possible.
- A veneer made out of porcelain will not stain as easily as natural enamel.
- If you give your veneers proper maintenance, they can last for many years.
Understanding the Cost of Veneers
Veneers tend to have a higher cost than other cosmetic dentistry treatments, but this is balanced out by their versatility and durability. Note that the exact amount you can expect to pay for the treatment can vary depending on how many veneers are required to make the changes you want. We can give you a more reliable estimate during your initial consultation and explain your options for payment.
Veneers FAQs
Are veneers permanent?
While the treatment that prepares the teeth to receive veneers is irreversible, the appliances themselves are not considered permanent. Placing veneers requires the removal of a small amount of enamel that will not grow back in order for the devices to fit properly and function well. The treated teeth will need to wear veneers from then on for protection from infection and injury, and these appliances can last for fifteen years or more before needing replacement if they receive excellent care.
What happens to the teeth under veneers?
Placing veneers will not harm your teeth since only a small measure of enamel is removed and the cement applied to secure the appliances is completely safe for use inside the human mouth. Since the veneer will serve to protect the tooth wearing it from infections, the procedure does not make cavities more likely. After receiving these appliances, you’ll need to floss and brush every day to prevent tooth decay that can compromise them. It’s also a great idea to enjoy sugar in moderation, keep up with your biannual checkups at our office in Roswell, and avoid bad habits like smoking and using your teeth to open bottles or packages.
Will I still be able to drink coffee with veneers?
Veneers are crafted from stain-resistant ceramic materials, so the dyes, tannins, and pigments present in dark beverages like coffee, cola, and red wine should have a hard time bonding with the surface. However, excessive consumption of these beverages can eventually leave unsightly stains and discoloration. To keep your veneers in beautiful shape, enjoy these beverages in moderation alongside a tall glass of water to help wash their residues away from your smile.
Do veneers give you a lisp?
Veneers can add a small amount of mass to the width, height, and thickness of your teeth, and this can alter the way vibrating air flows around them during speech. While this can cause some patients to develop a lisp after the treatment, this problem should be temporary and gradually fade away as you get more practice speaking with the appliances. To accelerate the adjustment process, try singing or reading a favorite book aloud while stopping to repeat any troublesome words until you get the hang of them. In some cases, we can adjust the veneers to help a lisp go away faster.
Do veneers feel like real teeth?
Many patients claim that their veneers feel completely natural inside their mouths and they do not notice them during meals or speech. This is because veneers are carefully crafted to perfectly fit the treated teeth based on detailed measurements which allow them to function and feel just like natural dental structure. Since ceramic materials are incredibly smooth, your appliances should not irritate the soft tissues of your mouth.
