What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment. They are very thin shells made from a tooth-like porcelain material. They are designed to look just like your teeth, and they fit over the front surfaces of each tooth and cover them up. 

They look and feel completely natural, and they are also very strong and durable. This makes porcelain veneers an ideal option for long-lasting cosmetic treatment. They are also highly versatile, and can be used to treat a wide variety of cosmetic problems.

What Issues Can Veneers Address?

Discoloration

If you have serious tooth stains or discoloration, veneers may be the best way to restore your smile. Internal stains or extremely deep stains may not be treatable with teeth whitening alone. Since veneers completely up the fronts of your teeth, though, they’re ideal for treating deep stains.

Chips & minor Damage

Veneers are often used to treat minor chips in the teeth. However, they can only be used if the tooth is healthy and the chip is small. Deep chips or cracks in the teeth need to be treated with restorative dentistry, such as a dental crown.

mishapen & Uneven Teeth

You can cover up and reshape your smile with veneers. They are commonly used to correct uneven teeth and misshapen teeth. Attaching veneers to these teeth lets you get an even, natural-looking, and perfect smile.

Caring For Your New Porcelain Veneers

For the most part, you can treat your veneers like natural teeth. To keep your smile healthy, you should brush twice a day, floss once a day, and make sure you see Dr. Martinez every six months at Corona Smile Shoppe. 

You also should avoid chewing non-food objects with your teeth, like pens and pencils. Over time, this habit could damage your veneers. To keep them intact, you should also chew really hard foods like almonds and popcorn with your rear teeth, rather than your veneers.

Finally, you may want to get a night guard if you grind your teeth. Over time, teeth grinding can dislodge your veneers and damage your natural teeth, too. A night guard will protect your veneers and your smile from damage due to teeth grinding.

FAQ's

Are Veneers Permanent?

Veneers are a popular cosmetic dental treatment, but many people wonder about their permanence. The short answer is that veneers are not permanent, but they are a long-lasting solution. Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-fitted and bonded to the front surface of your teeth. While they are designed to be durable, they are not indestructible.

The process of getting veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel from your natural teeth to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance. This means that once you have veneers, you will always need some form of covering on those teeth, as the enamel cannot be replaced. However, with proper care, veneers can last for many years. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid habits that could damage them, such as biting on hard objects or grinding your teeth.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

The lifespan of veneers depends on several factors, including the material used and how well you care for them. On average, porcelain veneers can last between 10 to 15 years, while composite resin veneers may last around 5 to 7 years. Porcelain is typically more durable and resistant to stains, making it a popular choice for those seeking a long-term solution.

To maximize the longevity of your veneers, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene, which includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, avoiding habits that can damage your veneers, such as chewing on ice or using your teeth as tools, can help ensure they last as long as possible.

Can Veneers Fix Crooked Teeth?

Veneers can indeed be an effective solution for correcting minor misalignments and improving the appearance of crooked teeth. They work by covering the front surface of the teeth, creating a uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, it’s important to note that veneers are not a substitute for orthodontic treatment in cases of severe misalignment or bite issues.

For individuals with slightly crooked teeth or gaps between teeth, veneers can provide a quick and effective cosmetic solution. They can also be used in combination with other treatments, such as orthodontics, to achieve the desired results. During your consultation, Dr. Juan Martinez at Corona Smile Shoppe can assess your specific needs and determine whether veneers are the right option for you.

Do Veneers Stay White?

One of the appealing aspects of veneers is their ability to maintain a bright, white appearance. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are highly resistant to stains from common culprits like coffee, tea, and red wine. This is because the porcelain surface is non-porous, unlike natural tooth enamel, which can absorb stains over time.

While veneers are stain-resistant, it’s still important to care for them properly to maintain their brightness. This includes regular brushing and flossing, as well as routine dental cleanings. Additionally, it’s a good idea to limit your consumption of foods and beverages that are known to cause staining. If you choose composite resin veneers, keep in mind that they may be more susceptible to staining compared to their porcelain counterparts.

If you notice any discoloration or changes in the appearance of your veneers, it’s best to consult with your dentist. Dr. Juan Martinez at Corona Smile Shoppe can provide guidance on maintaining the look of your veneers and address any concerns you may have.
