Porcelain Dental Veneers Explained

Porcelain Dental Veneers Explained

Porcelain dental veneers can make a big difference. You use your teeth constantly every day, exposing them to different foods and drinks that can cause stains. It’s not surprising your teeth can become discolored or chipped or cracked.

Because your teeth are a big part of your smile and help make a positive first impression, it is in your own interest to keep your teeth healthy and bright.

Current dental technology and the experience of Dr. Yost make porcelain dental veneers a great option for better oral health and whiter teeth.

As thin, porcelain shells, dental veneers are placed on the surface of each tooth to transform not just the color, but the shape and position of teeth.

Porcelain veneers are recommended to correct a number of imperfections in your teeth, including:

  • Large spaces and gaps between teeth
  • Severely stained or discolored teeth
  • Irregularly shaped or crooked teeth
  • Teeth that are broken, chipped, worn or fractured

Pros of Porcelain Veneers

Stain resistant, durable and matched to your smile, dental veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance the appearance of your smile. While veneers made from other materials are used in varying practices, our dentist and team have chosen porcelain in order to provide you with a natural looking and long lasting solution for your smile.

Veneers can make teeth whiter but are also custom-made to address cracked and chipped teeth plus are used to straighten teeth and change the size and shape of each
tooth.

When properly cared for, porcelain veneers can last up to 20 years.

Are Porcelain Dental Veneers For Everyone?

Not all patients are suitable candidates for dental veneers including those with damaged, decayed or weakened teeth or more significant oral health issues.

Dental Veneer Process

Veneers typically take two appointments to create and place. During the first appointment, Dr. Yost will take impressions, and prepare your teeth and place temporary veneers. He will also help you select the correct shade of white for your veneers. The veneers will then be created, and when you return for your second appointment, they will be bonded into place on your teeth to give you a beautiful smile.
