Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers can be an excellent option for patients hoping to enhance the appearance of their smile. Good candidates for porcelain veneers typically have purely cosmetic concerns, such as chipped, stained, misaligned, or worn teeth. However, it is important to have healthy teeth and gums, as underlying oral health issues may need to be addressed before considering veneers.

Once we've helped you develop a treatment plan, we'll take impressions of your teeth. Your porcelain veneers might be produced in our office while you wait or in a dental laboratory with high-quality porcelain. When your veneers are ready, we will take off a small amount of enamel from your teeth. This makes space for the veneers and enhances their bond to your teeth for a longer-lasting result. When your veneers are set, we can make small adjustments so they're comfortable.

Getting veneers usually doesn't require anesthesia so you should be able to go back to your normal routine after your appointment. You might experience temporary sensitivity to cold and hot meals for a couple of days. Your veneers should be cleaned just like your real teeth with frequent brushing and flossing. While veneers are more resistant to stains than natural teeth, avoid staining foods and drinks to keep your smile white. To prevent chipping, avoid chewing hard objects. Continue with regular exams and cleanings at Pipe Creek Dental Center so we can monitor the condition of your veneers, natural teeth, and general oral health. We will let you know if your veneers need to be replaced or repaired.

My hygienist, Shay, was thorough and meticulous. She also took the time to explain things to me, which broadened my understanding of dental health. Dr. Walker has a welcoming and comforting presence. She was gentle and still did everything she needed to do. I highly recommend Pipe Creek Dental.

About Us
How should I clean my porcelain veneers?
Like your organic teeth, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste to clean your veneers on a daily basis. You may also use mouthwash, floss, or a water pick to give a deeper clean that also targets your gumline. Beware of brushing too much or using harsh chemicals, like whitening agents, without first consulting your dentist.
Will getting porcelain veneers ruin your teeth?
In general, getting porcelain veneers from a skilled practitioner, such as ours at Pipe Creek Dental Center, should not harm your teeth. The potential for damage occurs when the veneers are not applied properly. In these cases, the dentist may remove too much enamel, weakening your teeth and making them more susceptible to breakage and damage.
How long will porcelain veneers last?
If properly applied and maintained, your porcelain veneers should last anywhere from 10 — 15 years. We recommend keeping on top of your daily oral hygiene routine, like flossing and brushing, to help extend your veneers' lifetime. In addition, avoiding hard, sticky, or chewy foods will be a best practice to keep in mind for your new teeth.
Can porcelain veneers at Pipe Creek Dental Center correct bite issues or misalignments?

While porcelain veneers are primarily a cosmetic solution, they can offer some benefits in addressing minor bite issues or misalignments. Veneers can be used to alter the shape and size of your teeth, which might help in improving your bite or the appearance of slightly misaligned teeth. However, for more significant orthodontic concerns, our team at Pipe Creek Dental Center might recommend alternative treatments like braces or aligners. During your consultation, we will assess your specific needs and suggest the most effective treatment plan.

What makes porcelain veneers a preferred choice for smile enhancement at Pipe Creek Dental Center?

Porcelain veneers stand out as a preferred choice at Pipe Creek Dental Center for several reasons. Firstly, they offer a high degree of customization, which means they can be tailored to fit the unique shape, size, and color of your teeth, ensuring a natural-looking enhancement. Secondly, porcelain is a durable material that resists stains better than other materials, maintaining the brightness of your smile for a longer time. Lastly, the procedure is minimally invasive, preserving more of your natural tooth structure while providing a significant cosmetic improvement.

How does the post-procedure care for porcelain veneers differ from regular dental care?

Post-procedure care for porcelain veneers at Pipe Creek Dental Center slightly differs from regular dental care to ensure their longevity and appearance. While veneers don’t require special maintenance, we recommend a few best practices: using non-abrasive toothpaste, avoiding excessive force or chewing hard objects, and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the veneers and overall oral health. These simple steps can significantly extend the life of your veneers and keep your smile looking its best.
