Porcelain Veneers, The Natural-looking Solution to A Beautiful Smile

If there are issues you dislike about your smile, how long will you wait to fix them? At Sycamore Dental, we think the ideal time is now! Rejuvenating your smile today improves your confidence, making you feel more comfortable in social and professional settings. While there are many cosmetic dental treatments you can use to revitalize your smile, porcelain veneers remain a popular alternative for men and women in Fort Worth, Texas, who want to conceal multiple dental flaws.

What are porcelain veneers?

These are super-thin shells of porcelain affixed on the front teeth to hide dental imperfections. Porcelain veneers are craftily designed to blend with the shade of the surrounding teeth, resulting in a natural look. Plus, the porcelain material is strong and durable — it can last as many as 15 years with proper oral care.

When you receive a personalized veneers treatment from Dr. Vidya Suri, it elevates your image and allows you to preserve some of your individuality. For instance, if a gap between your incisors is your favorite trait, we will design veneers with a thin divide, just like the way you like it.

The many functions of dental veneers

Whitening treatment can only brighten your smile. Orthodontic treatments can only fix gapped and crowded teeth. However, dental veneers can perform more than one function. Dental veneers are used in fixing many dental flaws, including:

• Severely stained teeth — veneers can cover stained teeth not responding to teeth whitening
• Cracked/chipped teeth — dental veneers can add resilience to damaged teeth
• Misaligned teeth — minor orthodontic challenges can be corrected using veneers
• Microdontia — if you have been born with unusually small teeth, veneers can add length to your teeth for a balanced smile
• Gapped teeth — veneers come in uniform sizes and shapes to conceal gaps between your teeth

While many people are perfect candidates for veneers, you must be in excellent oral health to harness the power of veneers. That said, you need to get rid of cavities and gum disease before starting veneers treatment.

Actual Patient Results

Porcelain veneers Before and After

Porcelain veneers procedure

Dr. Suri has told you that you need veneers to rejuvenate your smile. However, you are unsure what the treatment entails: cost, timeline, expected outcome, and so on. Just like any other dental procedure, understanding the veneers treatment process manages your expectations to avoid surprises down the road.

The first step in veneer treatment is a consultation with Dr. Suri to evaluate your oral health. If you are free from cavities, gum disease, and severe teeth crowding, we shave down a small amount of your enamel to create room for veneers. This procedure is done under anesthesia, so don’t worry about discomfort.

Next, we take your bite impressions and send the images to an off-site dental lab to fabricate your veneers. In the next two weeks or so, you will wear temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth. When your veneers are ready, we will use dental cement to install them permanently onto your teeth. However, before that, we will make the necessary adjustments to your veneers’ shade and shape for a perfect fit.
