Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells (or sheaths) that our cosmetic dentists place on the front of teeth to improve their appearance. The process is simple: Your dentist removes a small amount of enamel from each tooth to create a space for the veneer to adhere to and not interfere with your bite.

Then, a putty mold of the teeth with that layer of enamel removed is created. This mold hardens and will be fabricated in the lab. Temporary veneers are prepared and applied while the permanent veneers are made. When the permanents arrive, your Jacksonville cosmetic dentist will apply an acidic gel that dissolves minerals on the surface of each tooth so that there is a rough surface for the veneer to bond to solidly.

Cementing the veneers in place is a quick process that involves a special curing light to speed the hardening process. Once the porcelain veneers are set, they will be bonded to your teeth in just a few minutes. Your dentist will provide aftercare directions, but there isn’t much more. Dental veneers are a quick, affordable way to turn lackluster smiles into dazzling ones that will surely get noticed. Your family and friends may detect something different about your smile, but they won’t know you have veneers unless you tell them.

There are both long- and short-term benefits of these dental veneers. They strengthen teeth, restore their structure, and correct any flaws that impact your smile’s aesthetics. You’ll be pleased to know that many of your cosmetic dental issues can be addressed with this treatment. Here are just some of the benefits of getting veneers in Jacksonville, NC:

• The application of veneers is a non-invasive procedure that people of all ages can have.
• Veneers deliver a natural appearance to the repaired teeth
• They are permanent
• Veneers are durable
• They are easy to maintain
• Dental veneers look and feel just like natural teeth

There are long-term benefits of porcelain veneers over other types of cosmetic dentistry treatment:

Porcelain veneers can prevent tooth discoloration by acting as a barrier between your natural teeth and the food and beverages you consume, helping to protect your smile. With proper care, these veneers should last at least ten years, offering long-term enhancement of your dental aesthetics.

Dental veneers will increase your confidence and make you more comfortable showing off your smile. If you tend to hide your smile with your hand when talking and laughing, porcelain veneers are a great way to end this habit you’ve developed due to self-consciousness about your smile.

With porcelain veneers being so easy to maintain, you won’t have to do any extra work to keep them for many years. You will simply brush and floss as usual and avoid chewing hard things like ice.

Porcelain veneers can resist staining, and tooth decay much more effectively than teeth without dental veneers.
