A Perfect, Bright White Smile can be Yours with Veneers from Dublin Dental Care
We believe everyone deserves the confidence and joy that comes from a beautiful smile. Our dentists have helped many patients achieve outstanding results with dental veneers. Veneers can be the perfect solution for correcting broken, chipped, discolored, or misshapen teeth. If you want a natural, beautiful smile or even a “Hollywood” smile, veneers are often the ideal choice.
So, what are porcelain veneers?
You can think of veneers as thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-molded to fit precisely over your teeth. These shells are then strongly bonded to your teeth, effectively removing or covering over imperfections and creating a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
After examining your teeth, our dentists may recommend either porcelain or composite veneers. Composite veneers can be a quick solution and may sometimes be completed in just one visit. In contrast, porcelain veneers are generally more durable and stain-resistant, but they require some lab work and may necessitate a second visit for placement. Our dentists and staff will discuss the best options for you based on your individual situation, budget, and expectations.
How do I care for my new veneers?
Once your veneers are placed, they are virtually maintenance free. You’ll simply need to follow your normal oral hygiene routine of regular twice-daily brushing and flossing.
How long will my veneers last?
Generally speaking, composite veneers will last 5-7 years, while porcelain veneers will last at least 10 to 15 years and often much longer. While incredibly durable, your new veneers are not indestructible and just like your normal teeth they will wear, chip or could become damaged and need replaced over time.
Okay, I’m ready.
Now what is the process?
The process for obtaining veneers is straightforward. During your initial visit, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive exam to assess the health of your teeth and gums. This includes taking X-rays, photos, intraoral videos, and other state-of-the-art diagnostics to determine the best course of action for achieving results that will exceed your expectations. During this appointment your dentist will discuss the option of composite or porcelain veneers and which will give you the best outcome.
Preparing your teeth for composite or porcelain veneers typically involves trimming about half a millimeter from the tooth enamel surface to enhance adhesion of the veneer. If your dentist determines that composite veneers are a better option for you, the composite resin is simply bonded to your tooth and can be done in one visit. However, if porcelain veneers are a better option for you, your dentist will scan your teeth using our modern CEREC 3D digital scanner and, either make the porcelain veneers at our office and place them on your teeth the same day, or if necessary, send the scans to a lab for fabrication of your porcelain veneers. The lab process can take one to two weeks. When your porcelain veneers are ready, they are bonded or cemented on your teeth. That’s it—you’re done!
