Porcelain Dental Veneers

 

Transform Your Smile In Just Three Visits

If you feel self-conscious about chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth, porcelain veneers may be the answer to transforming your smile. Made of durable ceramic materials, dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells custom-shaped and bonded to one or more of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers are a fast but durable treatment used in cosmetic dentistry that provides a less intrusive alternative to dental crowns or dental implants.  At Boger Dental, we can help you construct the smile you’ve always wanted in just two to three visits.

 

Porcelain Veneers Transform Smiles

While minor issues such as small chips or cracks may be resolved with a composite filling, dental veneers are a more durable solution for larger chips and more substantial problems.

• Cover chipped, cracked or broken teeth 

• Correct abnormal overlaps or gaps between teeth

• Shield worn teeth

• Conceal teeth discolored from root canals, fillings or medicine

• Cover uneven or irregularly shaped teeth

• Realign teeth

 

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Whitening The high-tech materials that make up the dental veneers resist staining and do not change color with time, leaving your teeth looking white and natural.

Instant Orthodontics Instead of enduring years of teeth straightening using metal braces, porcelain veneers can be fitted and positioned in just 2-3 visits, leaving you with a beautiful new smile almost overnight. You can forgo the pain and hassle of wires and brackets for a permanent solution that helps you confidently smile immediately.

Natural-Looking  The translucent nature and tooth-like color of a porcelain veneer makes it difficult for others to notice a difference between the porcelain veneer and your natural tooth.  The gum tissue adjusts to the dental veneers without irritation, making your smile feel and look great.

Protection Porcelain veneers provide necessary protection to teeth that are worn down or damaged, and protect natural teeth from any further staining.

Practically Painless With a mild local anesthetic during the reshaping and preparation of your natural teeth, the porcelain veneer treatment process is comfortable.  Some experience slight swelling for a few days following the procedure, but healing time is rapid.

 

1. Tooth Preparation: The natural tooth is prepared by removing merely a coating of external enamel.  This reshaping is necessary so that the added thickness of the veneer doesn’t abnormally protrude. A mild anesthetic is suggested during this preparation process to make your experience more enjoyable. 

2. Porcelain Veneer Preparation: We will take an impression of your prepared tooth to help us custom-design a porcelain veneer to perfectly cover your natural tooth. 

3. Bonding Process: Using a strong adhesive made of resin cement, we will bond the prepared porcelain veneer to the anterior of the natural tooth, leaving you with an instantly improved smile. 

 

Tips For Caring For Your Dental Veneers

• Good oral hygiene extends the durability of your porcelain veneers.

• A mouth guard protects your dental veneers from teeth grinding at night.

• Porcelain veneers may break if you bite down on hard objects like ice.

• Remember broken dental veneers must be replaced since tooth reshaping is irreversible.
