What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a highly sought-after cosmetic dental procedure that can significantly enhance the appearance of one’s smile. Veneers are thin shells made from durable porcelain material that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth, effectively altering their color, shape, size, or length. Dental veneers have gained tremendous popularity in New Braunfels and beyond due to their ability to transform smiles with remarkable results.
The process of applying porcelain veneers in New Braunfels typically involves several steps, starting with an initial consultation where our skilled dentist at Great Oaks Dentistry assesses individual needs and determines whether dental veneers would be a suitable solution for each patient.
Following this assessment, impressions of the teeth are taken to create customized veneers that perfectly match the natural tooth structure while simultaneously improving its aesthetics. Once these veneers are ready for placement, they are meticulously bonded onto the teeth using strong adhesives ensuring long-lasting results.
As dental experts in providing porcelain veneers in New Braunfels, Dr. Lilian Carter and Dr. Luciana Soares take pride in helping patients achieve flawless smiles through this minimally invasive treatment option.
The advantages of choosing porcelain veneers over other cosmetic dental procedures include enhanced durability and resistance to stains while requiring minimal removal of enamel from the tooth surface during preparation. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals seeking dramatic improvements without compromising on oral health or requiring extensive dental work.
How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?
The process of applying porcelain veneers involves several essential steps:
- Initial consultation: During this appointment, patients discuss their dental concerns and desired outcomes with Dr. Carter or Dr. Soares at Great Oaks Dentistry.
- Tooth preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth’s surface to make room for the veneer placement.
- Dental impressions: Impressions are taken of the prepared teeth and sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians fabricate customized porcelain veneers.
- Temporary veneers: While waiting for the permanent ones, temporary veneers may be placed on the prepared teeth to protect them and maintain aesthetics.
- Final Veneer Placement: Once ready, Dr. Carter or Dr. Soares will bond the permanent porcelain veneers onto your teeth using specialized dental cement.
