Porcelain Veneers: The Best of Modern Cosmetic Dentistry
Veneers are thin shells of lifelike dental porcelain crafted to perfectly fit over your existing natural teeth. They are then bonded onto the fronts of one or more teeth.
Before and After: A client received porcelain veneers on her top arch, dramatically changing her smile without the need for sedation or drilling, and improving her tooth color and shape.
Address Cosmetic Concerns Quickly With Front-Teeth Veneers and More
Porcelain veneers are a fantastic way to create a brand-new smile in nearly an instant, boosting your confidence, even if you have multiple cosmetic concerns. They blend seamlessly and require minimal preparation for your teeth.
The process is a fairly simple one:
.01
On your first visit, your cosmetic dentist will consider your teeth’s health and integrity.
.02
If you’re a candidate for porcelain veneers, your dentist will carefully sculpt away a very thin layer of enamel from the front surfaces of the teeth to receive the veneers.
.03
Using digital imaging technology, your dentist will measure your teeth. These measurements, along with a mold taken of your teeth, are sent to our dental lab, where a technician will create custom porcelain veneers, just for you.
.04
Once they’re back from the lab, the veneers are bonded to your teeth, where they can last up to 20 years with good hygiene and care.
In total, you will need only two to three visits to complete your transformation, one of them being your consultation.
Determining Your Candidacy for Porcelain Veneers
Our cosmetic dentists may be able to correct blemishes in your smile using porcelain veneers if:
- They are the best cosmetic option for you. Sometimes, dental bonding and contouring is more affordable than veneers and more effective for certain teeth.
- You do not have a habit of grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw, both of which could damage the lifelike dental porcelain that veneers are made from.
- Your teeth are healthy enough to have veneers bonded to them.
- Your blemishes, such as diastema, slightly crooked teeth, or fractured teeth, can safely be covered with a porcelain veneer without misaligning your bite.
Don’t hesitate to request a consultation with our downtown Kansas City dental practice. Our cosmetic dentists will always provide you with multiple viable options for restoring your teeth and correcting blemishes, let you know how much your veneers cost compared to your other options, and will allow you to choose the one you feel is best for you.
Porcelain Veneers FAQ
How Much Do Veneers Cost?
The cost of veneers depends on the number of veneers you need, the size of your teeth, and other factors. We can provide an estimate for you during your consultation.
Can I Get Front-Teeth Veneers Only?
Yes! With veneers, you can apply them only to the teeth that need them to correct blemishes. For some people, this is only their front teeth. For others, it is multiple teeth.
Can Anyone Tell if I Have Veneers?
In general, it is hard to determine whether someone has porcelain veneers bonded to their teeth. There are a few telltale signs, including the slightest of gaps at the gumline. However, these “tells” aren’t noticeable unless someone is examining your smile closely.
