Dental Veneers - Allen, TX

Porcelain veneers are thin wafers made out of porcelain that cover the front surfaces of your teeth. With veneers, they offer a more conservative option to transform the appearance of your teeth while looking and feeling just like your natural tooth. They are custom designed in size and shape and bonded directly to your teeth, giving you an attractive smile you have been dreaming about.

Reasons Why I May Need Porcelain Veneers?

While veneers are most commonly used to enhance your smile’s appearance, they can also improve your overall dental health.Your teeth are more likely to remain healthy and free of cavities if they’re straight and uniform. Teeth that are crooked or have gaps can trap food particles and bacteria, which can lead to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.

With porcelain veneers, you can fix dental problems and achieve a gorgeous smile without sacrificing your comfort. They come in many different shapes and sizes and can improve the appearance of some existing flaws or trauma. Most commonly, many people choose porcelain veneers to correct the following dental scenarios:

  • Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile
  • Crooked teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Severely discolored or stained teeth
  • Teeth that are too small or large
  • Unwanted or uneven spaces
  • Worn or chipped teeth.

What Is the Process of Getting Porcelain Veneers?

The process of getting veneers is slightly the same as getting a crown. It requires two to three visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure.

After the initial exam to see if you have adequate tooth enamel and are free of any major dental problems, the first visit is to prepare the tooth. Your dentist will lightly buff a small amount of your natural enamel while shaping the surface to allow for the correct thickness of the veneer. Doing so will allow the veneer to lay flat and in line with your gum tissue. A mold will take an impression of the prepared teeth with the chosen shade (color) chosen by you, which will be sent to a dental lab for your veneers. During this time, we will secure a temporary veneer using removable glue while we wait for your veneers to be created.

Once your permanent veneers are ready, you will come back for a second visit, where your teeth will be cleansed with special material to achieve a durable bond. Prior to bonding the veneer onto the teeth, we will make any adjustments needed to ensure a great fit. When everything is set, your dentist will get ready to place the veneers on your teeth. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer, and a curing light is used to harden and set the bond.

You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.

What Are the Benefits of Veneers?

Veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures performed today. They’re extremely effective at improving teeth appearance and function. In fact, some people even use them to hide imperfections that might cause embarrassment. But what exactly makes veneers so special? Here are some of the benefits of veneers and why they’re becoming increasingly common.

  • Porcelain is a durable material that can last for more than 10 years with when properly cared for.
  • Veneers protect your teeth from staining caused by foods and beverages like coffee.
  • You don’t need to change your entire smile, just the one that you want to correct. Veneers are custom-made for each patient’s requirements.
  • Dental veneers require minimal maintenance. You brush and floss them like your natural teeth.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?

The best candidates for veneers are those who want to change the color of their teeth, fix chips or cracks, correct spacing issues, or cover up dental restorations like crowns or bridges. Veneers are an excellent option for patients seeking a solution to minor cosmetic concerns.

 Is the Process Painful?

You’ll probably feel some pressure during the application process, and you may experience slight discomfort afterwards. However, most people find the process well worth it once it’s complete once they notice the benefits of veneers.

Do Veneers Require Any Special Care?

Porcelain veneers can be used to improve the appearance of teeth that are already healthy. With proper care, they are very durable and can last to 10 years or longer. To ensure that your veneers last and keep them looking great, here are a few things you can do to extend the life of your veneers.

Practice good oral hygiene habits – Take good care of your veneers by flossing and brushing regularly. Choose a mild, low-abrasive toothpaste so the veneers will stay looking their best.

Visit your dentist regularly for dental checkups and cleanings – A regular dental exam is important to keep your veneers looking great. Make sure that you schedule a cleaning once every six months. During this appointment, your dentist will examine your gums and teeth to see if there are any dental concerns.

Avoid activities that might harm your veneers – Don’t chew hard foods such as nuts or popcorn, as these types of hard foods can chip or crack your veneers. If you notice any chipping or cracking, try to address it as soon as possible with your local family dentist.

Common Questions About Porcelain Veneers

If you’re looking for a way to improve your smile’s appearance without surgery, porcelain veneers might be the right choice. During your initial consultation, Dr. Feng will determine if you’re a good candidate for porcelain veneers. If this treatment option is a good fit, veneers can be used to close gaps between teeth, change the color of your teeth, reshape them, and cover damage caused by staining or tooth decay.

Some think porcelain veneers aren’t worth the cost or effort because they’re only cosmetic. But if you suffer from cracked teeth, stained teeth, or other dental concerns that make you feel self-conscious, they may be worth it.

Whether you have temporary or permanent veneers, our team recommends keeping things simple in the first few days following placement. Stick to soft foods, like soups and yogurts, because they don’t require much chewing. You can slowly build up to harder food items as your gums recover.

Remember, just like your natural teeth, some types of foods can cause problems with your veneers. Avoiding foods that could chip, crack, or otherwise harm your veneers is essential.  

No. Veneers are made of porcelain and are designed to protect your teeth from decay and preserve their shape and structure. They are very strong and durable, so they will not rot or wear down over time.

Porcelain is a popular material for dental work because it’s strong, durable, and resistant to chipping or cracking. It’s also very similar in appearance to tooth enamel, meaning that your veneers will have a natural appearance when placed on top of your teeth.

Yes, porcelain veneers are permanent and a long-term investment. Applying porcelain veneers to your teeth involves removing some of the outer layer of enamel, where veneers are attached to your teeth through dental cement.

Most dental insurance companies don’t cover veneers as a cosmetic upgrade. However, many plans, HSA, and FSA cover the cost if they deem the procedure medically necessary. If you’re unsure, call our office and we can help check to see if it is covered under your dental insurance policy.

Had to find a Dentist in a hurry. I had a crown come off that needed to be replaced and cemented so I could eat. They were close and extremely accommodating. Very pleased and made a future appointment.

I arrived a few mins early for my crown and tooth extraction (lucky me), and was seen almost immediately…I can honestly say that I’ll definitely be coming back if I need more dental work. The place is clean, modern, and I felt safe in a covid environment…
