About Dental Veneers
Veneers are essentially covers that fit over the outside of your teeth. These shells are customized to fit on your teeth, and you can even pick the color of them. They correct chips, stains, wear and tear, misalignments, and uneven spaces between your teeth. Our dentist crafts veneers from composite resin or porcelain. Both varieties have benefits and drawbacks. For instance, composite resin tends to require our dentist to remove less of your natural teeth to place them. However, they don’t usually last as long. On the other hand, porcelain veneers last longer and don’t stain easily. For these reasons and more, porcelain veneers usually cost more. During your initial visit, our dentist discusses all the pros and cons and helps you decide on the ideal type of veneers for your needs.
What To Expect When Getting Dental Veneers
Your first visit with your dentist for veneers consists of determining the type of veneers that best suit you, the number needed, and all the other specifics of the treatment. You’ll also receive an X-ray so that our dentist can properly plan your dental treatment. When preparing for dental veneers, the dentist will remove a thin layer of your tooth. This roughs up the surface of each tooth, so the dentist can affix the dental veneers. Our dentist will also need to make an impression of your teeth to send to the laboratory. After your veneers return from the lab, a special dental adhesive will be placed on the front of your teeth. Next, our dentist positions the veneers and uses a UV light to speed up the drying process.
Is it Painful to Get Veneers?
Veneers are a safe and effective way to change your smile without pain. Some people experience some sensitivity during the settling down period after their final fitting, but this is normal and should only last for a few days!
Will Veneers Straighten My Teeth?
Porcelain veneers are a great way to straighten your teeth without braces because they provide many cosmetic benefits, as well as being very durable. In some cases, people may choose dental bonding instead of porcelain veneers for minor misalignment correction- though this is just one option among many!

Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality dental ceramic. They are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance and enhance smiles.
Porcelain veneers can last between 10 and 15 years with proper care. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices can help prolong their lifespan.
Porcelain veneers can effectively address various dental imperfections, including chipped or cracked teeth, stains and discoloration, gaps between teeth, misalignment, and worn enamel.
The application of porcelain veneers typically involves several steps. First, a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to make room for the veneer. Then, an impression is taken and sent to a dental lab for fabrication. Finally, the veneer is bonded to the tooth using a strong dental adhesive.
Porcelain veneers are designed to blend seamlessly with natural teeth, resulting in a natural-looking appearance. They are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth, ensuring a harmonious smile.
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining compared to natural teeth. However, it's still important to practice good oral hygiene and minimize the consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, and tobacco to keep your veneers looking their best.
Porcelain veneers are resistant to traditional teeth whitening methods. If you're considering teeth whitening, it's best to discuss your options with a dentist, as they can recommend appropriate solutions to achieve a consistent shade throughout your smile.
The process of applying porcelain veneers is irreversible, as a small amount of enamel needs to be removed to ensure a proper fit. It's important to carefully consider this permanent alteration before deciding to proceed with veneers.
I’ve had excellent care for years. Dr. T is great at explaining everything, making it less stressful, and making sure you feel comfortable. Everyone is friendly and service is prompt. I would recommend Westlake Dental Care to anyone.
