What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin custom shells that are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain. They are designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth, transforming their appearance. The porcelain material can be closely matched to the color, sheen, and translucency of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

The following is a look at some of the reasons our experienced team may recommend porcelain veneers:

• To cover heavily stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to traditional whitening treatment
• To protect chipped, broken, or otherwise damaged teeth
• To restore teeth severely worn due to grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism
• To correct the length, size, or proportions of unevenly shaped teeth
• To mask small gaps or uneven spaces between teeth
• To improve the appearance of misshapen or irregularly sized teeth
• To correct minor tooth misalignment, delivering a straighter-looking smile
• To protect teeth with lost or damaged enamel resulting from wear and tear
• To address multiple cosmetic concerns, delivering a complete smile makeover

What Can You Expect During the Porcelain Veneers Procedure?

The porcelain veneers process typically involves the following:

Initial Consultation: Your journey to transforming your smile begins with a consultation, during which our skilled and experienced cosmetic dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your cosmetic goals, and explain the veneer placement process. They will help you determine whether porcelain veneers are the ideal solution to deliver the smile you've always wanted.

Preparing Your Teeth: Preparing one or more of your teeth for dental veneers involves gently removing an ultra-fine layer of enamel, typically less than a millimeter, to make room for your new restoration. After preparing your teeth, we will capture digital, detailed impressions that serve as blueprints for skilled technicians at our trusted dental laboratory to use in creating your custom veneers. In the meantime, we will place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and maintain the appearance of your smile.

Placing Your New Veneers: When your porcelain veneers arrive from the lab, you will return to Dental Care of Madison for your placement appointment. Our team will carefully evaluate each veneer, ensuring it offers the best possible fit and match to your smile before permanently bonding them to your tooth surfaces. We may need to make minor adjustments to ensure a perfect bite and a stunning smile.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers offer numerous benefits, including the following:

• They Are Customizable: We customize the shape, size, color, and fit of your veneers to match your natural smile.
• They Look Natural: Porcelain closely mimics the color, translucency, and sheen of your tooth enamel, providing results indistinguishable from natural teeth.
• They Are Conservative: Porcelain veneers require minimal tooth reduction, making them less invasive than other cosmetic solutions, such as dental crowns.
• They Deliver Stunning Transformations: Unlike many other cosmetic dental procedures, porcelain veneers require minimal time in the dentist’s chair, leaving you with a brand-new smile in as few as two appointments.
• They Are Versatile: Veneers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, from stained to discolored, chipped, worn, misaligned, misshapen, or gapped teeth, offering a versatile solution for your unique needs.
• They Are Stain-Resistant: Dental veneers are crafted from a porcelain material that is resistant to staining, leaving your smile white and bright for many years to come.
• They Require Minimal Maintenance: Caring for your veneers is as simple as maintaining your natural teeth; simply brush, floss, and visit Dental Care of Madison for your regular dental exams and cleanings.
• They Are Strong and Durable: Veneers are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain that is strong and resilient and has the potential to last 10 to 15 years or even longer with proper care and maintenance.

How Can You Care for Your Smile After Placing Porcelain Veneers?

Caring for your new porcelain veneers is essential to ensure their longevity and maintain your stunning results. The good news is that your new restorations require care similar to natural teeth, including brushing at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Gentle flossing daily is also important for removing food particles and plaque from between your teeth and around the gumline, which helps lower the risk of tooth decay and keeps your gums healthy.

In addition to regular oral hygiene care, we recommend specific practices to protect your investment in your smile. While veneers are incredibly strong and durable, they are not indestructible. We recommend steering clear of biting down on hard foods like ice, candies, or nuts, which can chip or crack your veneers as well as your natural tooth enamel. Similarly, avoid biting your nails or using your teeth for tasks better suited for tools.

If you grind or clench your teeth in your sleep, a condition known as bruxism, talk to our team at Dental Care of Madison about a night splint. The custom mouthguard can help protect your veneers from the excessive forces of grinding and clenching, ensuring their longevity. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings are also key to ensuring the longevity of your new veneers.
