What are dental veneers?
Veneers are super-thin, customized sheaths of porcelain bonded on the front surfaces of teeth to enhance their aesthetic appeal. They can improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of your teeth, making them a multi-faceted solution for smile enhancement.Â
Dental veneers can:
- Straighten mildly misaligned teeth
- Whiten stubbornly discolored teeth
- Repair chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Cover unsightly spaces between teeth
- Resize or reshape uneven teeth
Our veneers are made from high-strength porcelain, which can withstand the everyday use of biting and cutting food. Although porcelain is non-metal, it’s durable and can last ten or more years with proper care. Unlike composites or natural enamel, porcelain is stain-resistant. This means you will maintain your brilliantly white smile despite your love for coffee, red wine, and cola.Â
How are porcelain veneers placed?
The treatment starts with a consultation with Dr. Patel. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals to determine whether dental veneers are the right treatment for you. The dentist will also examine your teeth with digital X-rays and scans to unearth hidden dental issues that can compromise your smile in the future.
The next step is to prepare your teeth by removing less than 0.5mm of the enamel to ensure a seamless fit. This step is painless because the dentist numbs your mouth with highly effective anesthetics. After your teeth are prepped, the dentist will take digital scans of your teeth and then send them to a dental lab to create your veneers. Until your veneers are ready, we’ll temporarily restore your teeth to maintain aesthetics and function.
The second appointment is to bond your veneers to your teeth. The dentist will carefully place the veneers on your teeth and make adjustments to achieve optimal fit and alignment. The last step is using permanent dental adhesives to secure the veneers, providing an immediate boost to confidence.Â
How do I care for my veneers?
Maintaining veneers is straightforward because it isn’t different from caring for your teeth. Routine brushing, flossing, and professional check-ups are essential to prolong the life of your veneers. Although your veneers are firmly secured to your teeth, biting fingernails and opening packages can break or dislodge them. Only use your teeth to chew food. Lastly, invest in a bespoke mouthguard if you chronically grind teeth or participate in contact sports.

Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
