Veneers Q & A
Veneers are very thin porcelain shells bonded to the surface of your teeth to hide imperfections while also restoring the shape, size, and color of your teeth. You can use veneers to give your teeth a more polished, uniform appearance, particularly if you’re opting for a full smile makeover.
Signature Smiles Dentistry offers Lumineers®, a more conservative type of veneers that are less invasive than traditional porcelain veneers. They’re thinner and more translucent than conventional veneers.
Porcelain veneers can fully restore your smile if you have any of the following dental concerns:
- Chipped teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Tooth discoloration
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Large gaps between teeth
- Teeth worn from grinding
- Misaligned teeth
Not only do veneers enhance the natural brightness of your smile, but they can also change the appearance of your teeth.
When you get veneers, you never have to worry about stains and discoloration. Because they’re made with porcelain materials, veneers are stain-resistant.
Veneers are the perfect complement for a smile makeover, which aims to transform your smile with more than one cosmetic treatment.
During your first visit to Signature Smiles Dentistry, the team evaluates your mouth and performs a dental exam, complete with X-rays, to determine whether veneers are right for you.
Next, the team prepares your teeth. With traditional veneers, a portion of enamel must be removed to make room for the new veneers. But because Lumineers are thinner than traditional veneers, the team doesn’t need to remove as much enamel to prepare your teeth.
With traditional veneers, you wear temporary veneers for about 2-3 weeks while you wait for your new restorations. However, because Lumineers don’t require much prep work to place, you won’t need temporary veneers to protect your teeth.
At your second visit, the team places your new veneers. They use a special adhesive to ensure the veneers bond to your teeth securely.
Veneers look and feel exactly like your natural teeth and require no special treatment other than brushing, flossing, and routine teeth cleanings.
