What are Veneers?
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain that we put over your teeth’s surface to give your smile a new look. We collaborate with you to design personalized veneers that match the anatomy of your teeth and appear perfectly natural.
Because we need to shave off a portion of the enamel to create room for the veneer, they are a permanent treatment. Veneers can change the following attributes of your smile:
- Teeth gaps
- Stains and discoloration
- Length and shape of your teeth
- Misalignment
- Chips and cracks
If you want to change any of these characteristics, please give us a call right away! We would love to have you in our office for a consultation and get you started on the veneers treatment.
Veneers Treatment
During an appointment with Dr. Joshua Frandsen, he will discuss all of the traits you want to improve with veneers. He’ll also check if your teeth are robust enough to endure the enamel polishing and veneers.
Our dentist will begin polishing and shaving off your enamel to make room for the veneers. The polishing should not cause any pain. However, if you are nervous about this process, we can talk to you about different anesthetic options.
He will also take digital photos and impressions of your teeth. All of the information will aid in the creation of veneers that are custom-fit to your tooth anatomy.
At a later date, you will return to our office to have us place the veneers. Each veneer is cemented to your teeth and then cured with a dental blue light. You’ll likely feel a slight sensation throughout the procedure, but there should be no discomfort.
Your veneers are ready to use as soon as they are put on! You’ll have a whole new look! You should treat your veneers as if they were natural teeth, and you should practice good oral hygiene.
If at any time you feel them come loose or they aren’t what you desired, come back, and we can help adjust them!
