Veneers
What Are Dental Veneers?
If you’ve ever wondered how so many of your favorite celebrities seem to have such perfect smiles, then you might be interested in learning more about dental veneers. Similar to dental crowns, veneers are coverings that are placed on the teeth. However, unlike dental crowns, which cover an entire tooth to protect it from damage or decay, veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. At Stellenwerf Dental Studio, we offer durable porcelain veneers for patients who want to mask a wide range of dental imperfections, including chipped teeth, gaps, stains, crooked teeth, and more. Dr. Viviana Stellenwerf works closely with each patient, offering personalized solutions to help everyone attain the smile they want. Whether you want to improve the color, size, shape, or length of your teeth, porcelain veneers offer a no-hassle solution. Schedule an appointment at our Kingwood, TX practice to find out more about dental veneers, and get help deciding if they are appropriate for your goals.
What Can I Expect with My Veneer Treatment?
During your initial visit with Dr. Stellenwerf, we will take impressions of your teeth using our advanced intraoral scanner. These impressions will be sent to a dental lab, which will construct your veneers using high-quality porcelain material. During your return visit, Dr. Stellenwerf will remove a little bit of enamel from the front of your teeth. This both allows space for the porcelain veneers and enhances the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts a long time. Once your porcelain veneers are secured, Dr. Stellenwerf will make small adjustments so that your veneers fit well.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
If you find yourself trying to hide your smile because of dental imperfections, you might be an ideal candidate for veneers. The benefits of porcelain veneers at our Kingwood, TX practice include:
- Little to no upkeep required (other than your standard oral hygiene habits)
- Improved comfort and look that you can enjoy for a long time
- Minimal enamel erosion is needed for installation
- Prevents discoloration or spotting
Veneers FAQ
How should I care for my porcelain veneers?
To keep your veneers looking their best, brush them daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste. For a deeper clean that reaches your gumline, use mouthwash, dental floss, or a water flosser. Avoid over-brushing and steer clear of harsh chemicals, like whitening agents, unless your dentist approves them.
