At Dr. Patty’s Dental Boutique & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, FL, we apply resin veneers to our clients’ teeth to achieve a natural and appealing cosmetic effect. We help you choose the right dental veneers to correct your smile and enhance your life.

Are Resin Veneers the Right Smile Enhancement Option for You?

Resin veneers are a common choice for smile enhancement in complex cases involving the restoration of multiple teeth using a translucent resin material sculpted by your dentist. Resin veneers are exceptionally customizable to meet your needs and goals in response to dental issues involving tooth discoloration, misalignment, chipped teeth, or other tooth damage.

You don’t need to suffer anxiety or embarrassment due to a sub-par smile when the right dental veneer choice can hide imperfections and present a beaming grin you will be happy to show everywhere you go.

Determining whether resin veneers are the right option for you is essential. While they are less invasive and more conveniently applied than porcelain veneers and other options, each type of veneer has its particular strengths in use and design.

We aim to provide the right dental veneer option to keep you proudly smiling for years to come. Contact us today to schedule your complimentary initial consultation to assess your options.

Benefits of Resin Veneers

Some of the positive points of choosing resin veneers to enhance your smile include the following:

• A fast and affordable means to a proud and confident smile
• Less invasive than porcelain veneers
• Complete the process in a single visit to our office
• Resin veneers allow you to retain more natural tooth structure than many alternative veneer options

Differentiating Resin Veneers from Alternative Veneer Options

While there are many strengths and conveniences to choosing resin veneers to enhance your smile, there are some relative drawbacks compared to porcelain veneers and other alternatives.

• Resin veneers typically will not last as long as porcelain veneers
• Resin veneers are more likely to chip or suffer damage, as compared to porcelain veneers
• Resin veneers have a less natural appearance than porcelain veneers
• Resin veneers are less stain-resistant than porcelain veneers

Exercise Proper Oral Hygiene With Resin Veneers to Avoid Staining and Other Oral Health Issues

Be sure to exercise proper oral hygiene if you choose to have resin veneers placed on your teeth. Your regimen should include regular flossing in addition to brushing. Resin veneers do not provide the same protection from staining as porcelain veneers—another reason to be especially mindful of recommended oral hygiene habits.

Gum disease can cause your veneers to become loose or fall off, and there are many other health issues associated with neglect of your gums. Regular dental visits can help to monitor your situation if this is a particular concern for you, and we can help you to adjust your oral hygiene habits accordingly.

As always, let us know if you have any questions about properly caring for your veneers or good habits for brushing and flossing. Prevention is critical, but we are here to help you whenever you have a dental issue.
