Dental Veneers
Are you hiding your smile because of tooth flaws or imperfections? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Dr. Kim and her team at The Dental Suite are pleased to offer a comprehensive suite of cosmetic dentistry solutions, including dental veneers, to help you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking smile of your dreams.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that we design to cover the front surfaces of your teeth. We are pleased to offer porcelain and resin veneers to address your smile’s unique needs.
Veneers can correct a range of concerns, including the following:
- Discoloration resistant to traditional teeth whitening treatments
- Minor gaps or uneven spaces between teeth
- Chipped, broken teeth, or otherwise damaged teeth
- Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
- Worn-down tooth enamel
Understanding Your Dental Veneer Options
When choosing dental veneers, Dr. Kim will discuss the different materials and help you determine the one right for you.
Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers mimic the color, texture, and translucency of your natural teeth with beautifully natural results. They are incredibly durable and resistant to staining, enhancing your smile for many years. Porcelain veneers can deliver stunning smile transformations, and with proper care, they can last 10-15 years or even longer.
Resin Veneers: Resin veneers offer an affordable and conservative solution to enhance your smile. They typically require one office visit to place, transforming your smile in no time. The composite resin material is porous, so it’s more prone to staining over time. Resin veneers typically last 5-7 years.
What Is the Dental Veneer Process?
Transforming your smile with dental veneers is a straightforward yet precise process. Here is a look at what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation: Kim will evaluate your unique needs, discuss your goals for your smile, and help you determine whether dental veneers are right for you. She will also help you decide between resin and porcelain veneers.
- Preparation:For porcelain veneers, Dr. Kim will remove an ultra-fine layer of tooth enamel to make room for your new restorations. Resin veneers, on the other hand, require minimal to no preparation.
- Impressions:For porcelain veneers, Dr. Kim will take impressions of your teeth that a dental laboratory will use to create your restorations. She will place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth. When it comes to resin veneers, Dr. Kim will place a composite resin material directly onto your tooth surfaces and skillfully and artistically mold it to match the natural contours of your teeth.
- Placement:Porcelain veneers require a follow-up appointment. Dr. Kim will check your veneers to ensure they provide the perfect fit and color match before bonding them to your tooth surfaces. She will make any needed adjustments for your comfort.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- They Enhance Your Smile: Veneers help you achieve a natural-looking, brighter, and more uniform smile.
- They Are Conservative:Dental veneers require the removal of a minimal amount of your natural structure compared to other restorations like dental crowns.
- They Are Customized for You:Each veneer is custom-made to match the color, shape, size, and overall appearance of your teeth, delivering seamless smiles.
- They Provide a Confidence Boost: By correcting tooth flaws and imperfections and transforming your smile, veneers can boost your confidence and enhance your overall quality of life.
- They Are Easy to Maintain: Caring for veneers is as simple as brushing and flossing regularly, just like your natural teeth.
