What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of durable, high-quality ceramic material designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Dental veneers in Henderson mimic the natural color, translucency, and texture of real teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance.
Typically, we bond veneers to teeth that are discolored, chipped, uneven, or slightly misaligned. Veneers are an incredibly versatile cosmetic dental treatment that can correct a variety of issues while maintaining a very conservative approach to preserving natural tooth structure.
What Porcelain Veneers Can Do for Your Smile
Porcelain veneers are not just about aesthetics—they’re about confidence.
- Cover Discoloration: Stubborn stains that don’t respond to teeth whitening? No problem. Veneers provide a consistently bright, even tone that can outshine any whitening treatment.
- Correct Chipped or Worn Teeth: Veneers are an excellent solution for restoring chipped or worn-down teeth, giving you a more youthful and vibrant smile.
- Fix Minor Misalignment or Gaps: Want straighter teeth without braces? Veneers can close small gaps and give the appearance of perfectly aligned teeth.
- Create a Symmetrical Smile: Veneers can improve the size, shape, and symmetry of your teeth, creating a balanced, harmonious look.
At our office in Henderson, Nevada, we proudly tailor our veneer process to each patient. We want to ensure each patient leaves our clinic with a smile they are proud of!
The Veneer Process
Getting porcelain veneers is a straightforward and minimally invasive process. Dr. Michael Wilson ensures every step is smooth and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect during your veneer transformation at Anthem Hills Dental in Henderson:
Consultation and Planning
We start by discussing your goals and assessing your smile. Dr. Wilson will perform a thorough examination, including digital X-rays and handheld Nomad X-rays, to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and ready for veneers.
Preparation
To prepare your teeth for veneers, we’ll remove a small amount of enamel from the surface (less than 1 millimeter). This ensures the veneers fit perfectly and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Impressions and Customization
Next, we’ll take impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab where your veneers are custom-crafted. You’ll even get a say in the shape and shade, ensuring your new smile is exactly how you envision it.
Placement
Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Wilson will bond them to your teeth using high-quality dental cement. After a few final adjustments, your new smile will be complete!
Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers
While porcelain veneers are strong and stain-resistant, a little extra care goes a long way to maintaining them for years to come. Here are some aftercare tips to ensure your investment lasts as long as possible:
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily, just as you would with natural teeth. Use non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching your veneers.
- Avoid Hard Foods and Habits: While veneers are durable, avoid chewing on ice, pens, or hard candies, as these could cause damage.
- Wear a Night Guard if Needed: If you grind your teeth at night, Dr. Wilson may recommend a custom night guard to protect your veneers.
- Regular Dental Visits: Schedule routine check-ups and cleanings at Anthem Hills Dental so we can ensure your veneers remain in excellent condition.
