Porcelain Veneers Before & After

What Are Veneers?

For a bright, white, even, and appealing smile, veneers are extremely thin, tooth-colored shells custom-fitted and attached to the front of the teeth. Veneers, which are frequently made of composite (plastic) or porcelain, allow for correcting a variety of color and shape issues. 

Veneers can be used to:

  • Reduce or remove interdental gaps (diastemas)
  • Dentures that have been broken or chipped can be repaired.
  • Whiten discolored teeth that are black, yellow, permanently stained, or otherwise discolored.
  • Correct teeth that are malformed or crooked
  • Fill up microscopic crevices or pits in teeth
  • Enhance the look of teeth that are too little, excessively large, or irregular

Types Of Dental Veneers

Selecting dental veneers is the first step toward enhancing the looks of your teeth and achieving the winning smile you’ve desired. The second step is deciding on the material. The most often utilized materials in the fabrication of veneers are composite resin and porcelain. Both materials can improve your smile dramatically in the hands of a skilled cosmetic dentist.

Composite or Direct

Composite veneers are a type of tooth covering made of composite resin that is minimally invasive. The composite material is applied on top of your natural teeth, assisting in shaping them into a more attractive shape. Composite veneers are suitable for repairing minor chips or fissures in teeth since they do not require the entire tooth to be covered in resin.

Porcelain or Indirect

A quick way to makeover your smile and hide chipped, crooked, decayed, or stained teeth is with porcelain veneers at Garza DDS. Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells that can be glued to the front of your teeth to enhance your smile’s aesthetics.

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

Because porcelain veneers may visually repair a wide variety of difficulties — including chipping, alignment issues, and misshapen teeth — they play a significant role in most cosmetic dentistry plans. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and stain-resistant. There is some difference in how long they will endure due to the health of the teeth that support the veneers. Porcelain veneers have a lifespan of between 7 and 20 years. If you maintain proper hygiene, your veneers should last a long time.

Placing Porcelain Veneers

Dr. John A. Garza takes an impression of your teeth during your initial session so that they may produce veneers that are customized for your unique smile.

During your second appointment, the natural teeth that will receive veneers are “buffed” or “shaved” a very little amount to compensate for the veneers’ extra thickness, restoring your teeth to their original size. To ensure proper fit and color, the veneers will be placed on your teeth before being glued in place with an etching solution and a specific light. Often, temporary cement can “test on” your veneers to determine how they will look. Inquire with Dr. Garza about this possibility.

What Are The Benefits Of Porcelain Veneers?

Here are the benefits of porcelain veneers:

Natural Appearance

Dr. Garza crafts the thin shells of porcelain veneers using the finest medical-grade ceramics available in dentistry. This premium material flawlessly replicates the light-reflective qualities of natural teeth and does not appear artificial.

Low Maintenance

While veneers are stain-resistant, you should still brush and floss your teeth twice daily to maintain good dental health. Maintain frequent dental checkups with your dentist. This simple care can help you maintain the pearly white appearance of your veneers, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile.

Immediate Improvement

Dental veneers are a much more straightforward solution. A beautiful facade is constructed instead of fixing the structural problems at the root of the problem. As a result, there’s typically no need to spend time and money correcting things like uneven surfaces and gaps between teeth. Overall, compared to other cosmetic treatments, veneers provide a similar effect fraction of the time.

“Dr. Garza is top of the line in every aspect of dentistry. You will never meet a nicer man and the wonderful family that is his staff. They will transform any mouth to be the best that it can be, and in the least painful experience. He is the kind of doctor that you can overcome childhood dentistry fears and actually relax in their beautiful office. Hands down, I will refer anyone to this amazing dentist. There is really no one better.”

Are There Any Risks To Porcelain Veneers?

As with any medical treatment, there are some risks associated with the placement of porcelain or resin veneers, but they are quite rare. Because the procedure involves the removal of a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for the veneer, the biggest risk is that the patient could experience sensitivity to hot and cold. This usually passes, but if it continues past 3-6 months, the dental cement may be leaking or a nerve may have been exposed.

Since veneers have a lifespan, they will eventually need to be replaced. In some cases, the patient may not have sufficient enamel left to allow for a second set of veneers to be placed. Again, this is rare.

Veneers Vs Crowns

Both porcelain crowns and veneers significantly improve the appearance of the teeth on which they are put. However, they are distinct. Veneers are entirely cosmetic. When applied to the fronts of the teeth, they alter their appearance but do not affect their function or strength. When veneers are applied, some tooth enamel is removed, but it is minimal compared to a crown. For a crown to fit over a whole tooth, healthy tooth material must be removed on all sides.

The primary distinction is in terms of function. A crown is frequently placed on a tooth when the tooth’s health is jeopardized. This could be considerable degradation, a big crack, or a failing cavity that requires enlargement. In these cases, the crown prevents the tooth from needing to be extracted. Cosmetics are a secondary consideration. Crowns also serve as the anchors for bridges, placed atop the two healthy teeth on both sides of the missing teeth being spanned by the bridge.

How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost?

Dr. Garza’s veneer prices vary based on the type of composite resin or porcelain that you choose. The price is usually determined by the number of teeth you want to have veneers placed on.

Veneers aren’t cheap, but they can save money in other areas because they don’t necessitate further procedures. Porcelain veneers, for example, do not require whitening because they are stain-resistant. It is possible to fill up gaps that would otherwise necessitate orthodontic treatment. If a tooth has been damaged or discolored by tetracycline, veneers can be used instead of a full porcelain crown to cover it. To Dr. Garza, porcelain crowns are an investment in a patient’s smile.
