Porcelain veneers for effective smile enhancement
At Highland Dental Clinic, located in the heart of South Lakeland, FL, we provide a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services, including porcelain veneers. These cosmetic restorations are designed to look like your natural teeth, concealing the front part of your teeth to enhance the overall aesthetics of your natural smile. You can address common dental imperfections on the front teeth in just two appointments, dramatically changing your appearance. Dr. Blanca Fernandez and her team further educate patients on these restorations and how they can enhance their smiles.
So, what exactly are dental veneers?
Fernandez describes dental veneers as slim, tooth-colored porcelain shells custom-made to bond with your teeth tightly. They seamlessly blend in with the existing teeth. They are used to rectify various issues, such as lengthening short teeth, reshaping uneven teeth, and changing the color of discolored and permanently stained teeth.
Our dentist securely affixes these veneers to the teeth using a dental adhesive, providing additional protection against potential damage or decay. With appropriate care, veneers and many other restorations can last many years. While some of our patients prefer our conventional porcelain veneers, we also offer a lower-cost alternative called composite veneers. However, remember that composite veneers can be prone to staining and need more frequent replacements than traditional porcelain ones.
How many appointments are needed to place a porcelain veneer?
Patients can enjoy their restorations after just two visits. The first visit is the consultation appointment to determine candidacy. Once patients decide to move forward, the teeth are prepared by removing a thin portion of natural enamel from the tooth’s front surface. Impressions are made and sent to a ceramist to create the veneer. This can take a week or two, so patients will return later to have them bonded in place.
