Say goodbye to stained, misaligned teeth

Porcelain veneers can improve the appearance of teeth affected by discoloration, staining, chips, minor cracks, uneven tooth shapes, or certain minor cosmetic alignment concerns. Veneers are thin, custom-made restorations bonded to the front surfaces of teeth to create a more balanced, natural-looking smile.

Digital Smile Design allows your dentist to digitally plan your cosmetic treatment and preview how potential changes may look as part of your overall smile. It provides an opportunity to discuss your goals, explore design options, and better understand the planned result before moving forward. In some cases, temporary veneers may also be used to help you experience the look and feel of your new smile.

The number of appointments varies depending on your individual treatment plan. The process typically includes a consultation and planning, tooth preparation when needed, and placement of your final veneers. Temporary veneers may be worn between appointments while your permanent veneers are being created.

Porcelain veneers can last for many years with proper care. Their longevity depends on factors such as your oral health, bite, daily habits, and how well you care for your veneers. Regular brushing, flossing, dental checkups, and avoiding habits that could damage your veneers can help protect your investment.

The veneer process is generally well tolerated. If tooth preparation is needed, your dentist will use local anesthesia to help keep you comfortable. Your care team will explain each step of the process and answer any questions you have along the way.

Porcelain veneers are custom designed to complement your smile and facial features. Your dentist considers factors such as tooth shape, size, color, and proportion when planning your veneers to help create a natural-looking result that feels like you.

In some cases, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed to create space for the veneers and achieve the desired result. The amount of preparation varies based on your individual teeth, the condition of your enamel, and the type of veneers being planned. Your dentist will explain the recommended approach during your consultation.

Yes. Your preferred shade is an important part of the smile design process. You can discuss how bright or natural you would like your smile to look, and your dentist can help you select a shade that complements your features and overall smile.

Once your veneers are securely placed and your dentist has cleared you to eat normally, you can generally enjoy a wide variety of foods. It is best to avoid biting directly into very hard objects such as ice or hard candy, as these can damage natural teeth and restorations.

If a veneer chips, cracks, or feels loose, contact TruYou Dental so your dentist can evaluate it. Depending on the condition of the veneer and the tooth underneath, your dentist may recommend repairing or replacing the veneer. Avoid trying to adjust or reattach a loose veneer yourself.
