Dr. Monti Harpalani and our team offer affordable veneers to conceal cosmetic defects in your teeth, reshape odd-looking teeth, and even straighten slightly crooked teeth, giving your smile a flawless appearance. Your questions about veneers are answered here.
How do veneers work?
Veneers are thin porcelain coverings used to conceal cosmetic imperfections in your teeth and improve their appearance. If you have teeth that are chipped, stained, an odd size or shape, or slightly crooked, veneers can perfect their appearance. Custom-crafted veneers will look exactly like your natural teeth. They’ll blend in so well with your smile that no one will be able to tell the difference. Once bonded to the surface of your teeth, veneers become a part of your smile permanently.
What imperfections can veneers correct?
Veneers can correct a myriad of cosmetic issues in just one treatment. Veneers can conceal chips and cracks, close small gaps between teeth, lengthen short teeth, widen narrow teeth, reshape odd-looking teeth, and make slightly misaligned teeth appear straight and even. A smile makeover with veneers can totally transform your smile’s appearance.
What’s the process for getting veneers?
Getting veneers generally takes two dental visits. On your first visit, Dr. Monti will examine your teeth and discuss the areas you want to improve. Together, we’ll design your new smile and plan your treatment. Then we’ll prep your teeth to receive veneers. This entails shaving off a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneers. Impressions are taken of your prepped teeth and sent to a lab where custom veneers are fabricated. When your veneers are ready, a second appointment is scheduled to permanently bond them in place.
Is it painful to get veneers?
Although veneers are a minimally invasive treatment, we can use a mild anesthetic to prep your teeth and avoid discomfort if needed. Any sensitivity you experience after your teeth are prepped can be relieved with OTC pain medication.
What are some dos and don’ts after getting veneers?
Do keep your mouth clean by brushing and flossing daily. Do see your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. Do eat a healthy diet that’s good for your teeth and gums. Do wear a night guard at night if you grind your teeth.
Don’t chew on ice, bite your nails, eat hard foods, or open packages and containers with your teeth, as this can prematurely damage your restorations.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers are quite strong and can last 15 or more years, with proper care. When placed over chipped or cracked teeth, they help strengthen the teeth’s structure and protect them from future damage.
