If are unhappy with the appearance of your smile, dental veneers could be the solution you’re looking for. At Jupiter Advanced Dentistry, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you deserve with high-quality, customized veneers.
Your Guide to Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells applied to the front surface of your teeth. Typically made from porcelain or composite resin, these shells improve the appearance of teeth by changing their color, shape, and alignment. Veneers are a popular choice among those looking to address issues like discoloration, chipped teeth, and gaps between teeth.
Why Choose Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers can provide a dramatic transformation in a short amount of time. Unlike other cosmetic options, veneers are stain-resistant and durable, offering a beautiful, lasting smile. They also maintain a natural appearance, making them nearly indistinguishable from your other teeth. In addition, unlike dental crowns, the dental veneer process is minimally invasive, maintaining the majority of your natural tooth.
You may be a candidate for dental veneers if you have any of the following concerns.
- Discolored Teeth: Dental veneers cover deep stains that whitening treatments can’t fix, giving a bright, lasting finish that resists future discoloration.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Veneers close gaps, creating a seamless smile with a natural look that enhances confidence.
- Uneven Tooth Shape and Size: Veneers balance uneven tooth shapes and sizes, giving a polished, symmetrical look to your smile.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Chipped or broken teeth are easily restored with veneers, strengthening and unifying the smile’s appearance.
- Mild Misalignment: For slight alignment issues, veneers can create the appearance of straight teeth without braces or aligners
Dental Veneer Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation: Your first appointment at our Jupiter dentist office will involve a thorough examination of your oral health. During this consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, assess your teeth, and determine if veneers are the best option.
- Tooth Preparation: Our skilled cosmetic dentist will prepare your teeth by reshaping the surface to accommodate the veneers. This process involves removing a thin layer of enamel, which ensures a secure fit and natural look. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are being crafted.
- Customization and Placement: Each veneer is custom-designed to fit your teeth perfectly. Once your veneers are ready, they’ll be bonded to your teeth using a strong adhesive, ensuring they stay in place for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for dental veneers?
Dental veneers may be right for you if you are looking for an alternative to crowns and caps. Veneers can help you if you have gaps between your teeth or teeth that are broken, chipped, irregularly shaped or misaligned. To find out more about whether dental veneers are right for you, contact a cosmetic dentist to schedule a consultation.
How long to dental veneers last?
Jupiter Advanced Dentistry uses the highest quality porcelain veneers for maximum durability. With proper care, veneers can last up to 12 years.
Will I need to follow any post-treatment care instructions?
There is no special care required for dental veneers, and normal brushing and flossing can be resumed immediately. Because veneers are usually placed over the course of two appointments, it is normal to experience some sensitivity between the first and second visit when the teeth have been reduced in preparation for bonding.
