Dental veneers are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of a person’s teeth. Depending on the style of veneers, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed from the teeth before applying them. Once installed, veneers can cover noticeable flaws, adjust alignment, and improve spacing. They are easy to apply, requiring tooth preparation and securing them in place with strong dental adhesive.

If you have crowding issues, chipped teeth, worn down teeth, or even areas of staining, dental veneers could be an excellent solution for you! Dental veneers are customizable, meaning that the shade and shape of the veneers can be adjusted to give you your dream smile.

01.
What is the process?
The dental veneer process involves a few key steps, starting with a consultation where Dr. Winston evaluates your oral health to see if veneers are suitable. If so, a customized treatment plan is developed, including digital impressions and X-rays. Tooth preparation might require removing a small amount of enamel to fit the veneers properly. Impressions of your prepared teeth are then made for the lab to create your veneers. Temporary veneers may be used while waiting for the final ones, which are carefully checked and bonded to your teeth over two to three visits, totaling one to two hours each.

How do dental veneers work?
-
What types of dental veneers are available?
There are two types of dental veneers: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both options can help you improve your smile.
Composite veneers are made in the dentist’s office using tooth-colored resin. They are applied directly to the teeth and are less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers. Composite veneers can cover up many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth. They are made in a laboratory and then sent to your dentist’s office for application. Porcelain veneers are generally more durable and provide a natural look. They can also fix larger cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth positioned incorrectly.

How long do dental veneers last?
Our veneers are crafted from high-quality materials that are built to last. Generally, most veneers have a lifespan of 10-15 years. However, with top-notch dental care, your dental veneers can last for more than 20 years. If you need any repairs or replacements for your dental veneers, please don’t hesitate to contact our office as soon as possible so we can help you regain your beautiful smile.

Dental Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are essential dental treatments that aim to restore both the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth. Dental crowns are used to cap individual teeth to provide protection and strength. On the other hand, bridges are used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth and are anchored onto adjacent teeth to provide support.

Fillings & Sealants
Dental fillings and sealants are treatments that can prevent and restore damage caused by tooth decay. Fillings are used to repair cavities by filling them with materials such as composite or amalgam. On the other hand, sealants are applied to the biting surfaces of teeth to stop cavities from forming by preventing plaque and food particles from accumulating.
