What are Porcelain Veneers?

Dental veneers cover the exterior of a tooth to hide its imperfections. A dental veneer is a thin layer of transparent porcelain that a dentist places over a tooth to improve its shape and color or to modify its size. By selecting Dr. Gerayli as your cosmetic dentist, you'll have a professional managing the look of your smile. Instead of viewing your teeth as utilitarian, Dr. Gerayli considers them an enhancement to your overall appearance. Since dental veneers make your teeth look strong and white, they will also make you appear younger.  

Veneers can be made from resin or porcelain. Dr. Gerayli offers porcelain because of the material's longevity. Porcelain also resists stains better than resin does, so you can enjoy drinks like coffee, wine and tea without worrying about discoloration. Porcelain will also look more like your natural teeth.

Because porcelain veneers are individually designed for every patient, the cosmetic dental feature comes in a variety of colors. If you're having just a few placed, this gives you the option of matching them to the shade of your natural teeth. For situations involving the covering of numerous teeth, you may want to make a whiter selection to brighten your smile.

To place porcelain veneers, your Valley dentist will need to shave off a layer of each tooth's enamel to position the porcelain shell. You will receive a local anesthetic during the procedure. With the enamel removed, Dr. Gerayli will take an impression of your tooth. She will then send it to her lab for development. The veneer manufacturing process usually takes about one to two weeks. If your teeth are particularly unsightly, you can request temporary veneers.

When it's time for the bonding process, Dr. Gerayli will meticulously examine each porcelain veneer before cementing it in place. She will verify the quality and formation of each veneer. She will also temporarily position each one over the tooth that it's meant to cover to ensure that it provides the proper fit and is the right color. After completing these steps, Dr. Gerayli will clean, polish and etch each tooth to ready them for the bonding agent and permanent placement. A special light activates the cement's chemicals, and this causes it to harden fast.

To complete the process, excess cement will be scrapped off and your bite will be evaluated. At this time, Dr. Gerayli will take care of any needed veneer adjustments. Plan to return to the office in a few weeks as you'll need a check up to see how well your gums are responding to the change. If you decide to revitalize your smile with veneers, keep in mind that it is permanent.

Since matching porcelain veneers to your natural tooth color is often challenging, some dentists prefer to place a full set of veneers as this will ensure a match. Dr. Gerayli will not recommend a full set if you have healthy teeth. She'll let you know how many of your teeth need to be replaced. This will decrease your costs and allow you to keep the teeth that are healthy and attractive.  

How Long do Porcelain Veneers Last?

Porcelain veneers typically last for seven to 20 years, but with consistent care, you may be able to extend their lifespan even more. A porcelain veneer is an unchanging material attached to living tissue. Because your teeth and gums will continue to change, you may need to replace your veneers over time.  

Do Veneers Require Special Care?

Porcelain veneers do not need special care to maintain their appearance, but be sure to continue practicing good oral hygiene. For instance, brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss every night and rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash. You should also continue to visit your dentist regularly, and you may need to schedule follow-up visits that involve polishing your veneers with a specially formulated paste that is nonabrasive.

If you grind your teeth at night or participate in sports, you may need to protect your veneers with a special night guard. This dental apparatus will prevent damage. It may even increase the longevity of your dental work.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers  

Recently, the cosmetic industry has taken note of the overall appearance improvements provided by cosmetic dentists. Because veneers often make people look younger, some experts are recommending cosmetic dental procedures instead of surgeries. In many cases, patients who take advantage of new and innovative dental techniques will present an appearance that gives the impression that they had more cosmetic work done than just their teeth. If you have fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, Dr. Gerayli may be able to decrease the look of them with a dental method that involves opening up your bite and using a combination of crowns and veneers to expand your arch. Instead of using cosmetic fillers, you can diminish the signs of aging by enhancing your smile.

Porcelain veneers can correct more than just one cosmetic imperfection. Because of this, you may be able to spend less time restoring your smile. They can correct out of proportion teeth, ones that are worn down and even teeth that are crooked.

Not only will porcelain veneers enhance your smile, but they will also improve your overall oral health. At Victory Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Gerayli will expertly place your porcelain veneers to give you a million-dollar smile.
