Porcelain Veneers

What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells bonded to your teeth’ front surface. Veneers are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth, made from high-quality materials, such as porcelain or composite resin. They can correct many aesthetic concerns, including tooth discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and misshapen teeth.

Why Choose Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers offer several compelling advantages that make them a popular choice among individuals seeking smile makeovers:

1. Enhance Aesthetics: Veneers are an excellent solution for achieving a stunning smile. They can improve your teeth’ color, shape, size, and symmetry, resulting in a beautiful, harmonious appearance. Whether you desire a brighter, whiter smile or a more balanced tooth alignment, veneers can help you achieve your goals.
2. Versatility: Dental veneers can address various cosmetic concerns, making them a versatile treatment option. Whether you have stained or discolored teeth that are resistant to traditional whitening methods, minor chips and cracks, uneven tooth edges, or small gaps between teeth, veneers can provide a dramatic and transformative result.
3. Minimally Invasive: Veneers are minimally invasive compared to other cosmetic procedures, such as crowns or orthodontic treatments. We must remove only a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneers, preserving most of your natural tooth structure.
4. Durability: Veneers use durable materials that withstand normal biting and chewing forces. With proper care, they can last for many years, providing long-term aesthetic benefits.

The Dental Veneer Process at South Weber Dental

When you choose South Weber Dental for your dental veneer treatment, you can expect personalized care and meticulous attention to detail. Here’s an overview of the veneer process:

1. Consultation and Treatment Planning: Dr. Eric Russell will evaluate your oral health and discuss your smile goals during your initial consultation. We will determine if veneers are the right solution for you and create a customized treatment plan based on your needs and desires.
2. Preparation: A thin layer of enamel will be removed from the front surface to prepare your teeth for veneers. Etching ensures a proper fit and allows the veneers to adhere securely to your teeth. We will take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab, where your custom veneers will be fabricated.
3. Temporary Veneers: While your permanent veneers are being crafted, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics.
4. Veneer Placement: Once your custom veneers are ready, we will carefully bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. Dr. Russell will ensure a precise fit and make any necessary adjustments to achieve optimal comfort and aesthetics.
5. Finalizing the Result: After placing your veneers, Dr. Russell will evaluate the fit, appearance, and bite alignment to ensure a flawless result. He will make any final adjustments to guarantee your complete satisfaction.
