Why Choose Porcelain Veneers
Have the imperfections in your teeth made you hesitant to show them to the world? Perhaps your teeth’s inconsistent alignment, size, or shape embarrasses you, affecting how you feel about yourself and how others perceive you. Do you have concerns about discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment in your teeth that have affected your confidence in your smile? Porcelain veneers offer an appropriate solution to make you proud to show your teeth for many years. There are many varieties of porcelain veneers, each with their own strengths.
Different types of porcelain veneers we offer include:
- Traditional Porcelain Veneers
- Emax Veneers
- Da Vinci Veneers
Contact us to schedule a consultation, where we will consider the right approach to revealing your unique smile. We can assess which type of porcelain veneers would be right for you or whether one of several non-porcelain alternatives would be more appropriate for your specific dental needs and cosmetic preferences. The first step is to schedule a consultation!
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Some of the strengths of porcelain veneers include the following:
- Natural appearance
- Stain-resistant
- Long-lasting and durable
- Regained confidence in your smile
There are different varieties of porcelain veneers. We also offer many non-porcelain options that may better suit your needs. During a complimentary consultation, let’s discuss the best type of porcelain veneer for you.
Differentiating Porcelain Veneers from Non-porcelain Varieties
Many people choose porcelain veneers for their combination of a natural-looking appearance, resistance to stains, and long-lasting durability. However, other options may be more appropriate, depending on your cosmetic preferences or dental needs.
Non-porcelain veneers include:
Individuals may choose these other options for several reasons. For example, zirconia veneers are a non-porcelain option emphasizing strength even more than porcelain. Composite or resin veneers are not as strong, durable, or long-lasting as porcelain but require less preparation than porcelain veneers. CEREC® veneers are a ceramic option we can apply in a single visit, but size and shape limitations may mean they are not the optimum choice for you.
The following characteristics differentiate porcelain veneers from alternative options:
- Better-looking and longer-lasting than composite resin
- More durable than composite resin
- Require more preparation on the tooth than resin alternatives
- Less likely to lead to staining or discoloration – though proper oral hygiene is essential
- Require the use of a nonabrasive toothbrush
- Require the avoidance of whitening products
We will assess these different options to enhance your smile during your visit. Contact us to schedule a complimentary consultation and take the first steps.
Behaviors To Avoid When You Have Porcelain Veneers
Some substances and activities can damage porcelain veneers, which may require you to modify some of your habits. You may also need to avoid foods you have previously enjoyed. The following can contribute to significant damage or wear to porcelain veneers:
- Nail-biting
- Opening packages with your teeth
- Hard candy
- Popcorn
- Nuts
- Chewing gum
- Other hard or sticky foods
Discuss these topics during your complimentary consultation if you have questions or concerns about specific foods or behaviors.
Factors To Discuss When Determining the Right Veneers for You
When choosing veneers, critical client considerations include preparation time and the required number of visits. Some people value the convenience of same-day options, while some veneers can take multiple visits with wait times while being prepared.
Other factors can include the number of teeth requiring veneers and the nature of the damage or imperfections. We will help you weigh the different approaches and their relative strengths. We aim to help you choose the best decision for your needs while maximizing your comfort and confidence, resulting in a smile you will readily want to show the world.
