Transform Your Smile with Custom Porcelain Veneers

At Thomson Family Dental, we believe that everyone deserves a smile they can be proud of. If you’re looking to correct cosmetic imperfections and achieve a radiant, flawless smile, porcelain veneers may be the perfect solution for you. Our expert team specializes in crafting custom veneers that look natural and feel comfortable, giving you the confidence to show off your smile every day.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. Made from high-quality dental porcelain, veneers are an excellent option for improving the appearance of your teeth. They can effectively address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignment. Veneers are bonded to your natural teeth, providing a durable and long-lasting enhancement that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers offer several advantages for patients looking to enhance their smiles:

• Natural Appearance: Porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
• Durability: Veneers are made from strong, stain-resistant materials that can last for many years with proper care.
• Minimally Invasive: Veneers require minimal tooth preparation compared to other cosmetic procedures, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
• Versatility: Veneers can address multiple cosmetic issues simultaneously, making them a comprehensive solution for improving your smile.
• Quick Transformation: In just a few visits, you can achieve a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your teeth, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.

The Veneers Process

Getting veneers at Thomson Family Dental is a personalized and carefully planned process designed to ensure the best possible results. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey to a stunning smile begins with a consultation with our experienced dentists, Dr. Charles Spicer, Dr. Quynh Spicer, or Dr. Amanda Engelbart. During this visit, we’ll discuss your cosmetic goals, assess your oral health, and determine if veneers are the right option for you. We’ll also take impressions and photos of your teeth to help design your custom veneers.

2. Tooth Preparation

Once you’ve decided to proceed with veneers, the next step is preparing your teeth. This involves removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers. This step is crucial for ensuring a natural fit and appearance. After preparation, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers will be custom-crafted.

3. Temporary Veneers

While your permanent veneers are being made, you may be fitted with temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth and give you a preview of your new smile. Temporary veneers allow you to become accustomed to the feel and appearance of veneers before the final placement.

4. Veneer Placement

Once your custom veneers are ready, you’ll return to our office for the final placement. Our dentists will carefully check the fit and appearance of each veneer, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect match. The veneers are then bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive, and a special light is used to harden the bond. Finally, we’ll polish the veneers to give them a natural, glossy finish.

Caring for Your Veneers

Porcelain veneers are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but proper care is essential to maintaining their beauty and function. Here are some tips to keep your veneers looking their best:

• Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily to keep your veneers and natural teeth clean and healthy.
• Avoid Hard Foods: While veneers are strong, avoid biting down on hard objects like ice, pens, or your fingernails, as this can damage the veneers.
• Regular Dental Checkups: Visit Thomson Family Dental regularly for checkups and cleanings. We’ll monitor the condition of your veneers and address any issues that arise.
• Use Non-Abrasive Toothpaste: Choose a toothpaste that is gentle on your veneers to avoid scratching or dulling their surface.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers are an excellent option for many patients, but they may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine if veneers are the best choice for you. Veneers are ideal for individuals who have:

• Discolored Teeth: Veneers can cover teeth that are stained or discolored and resistant to whitening treatments.
• Chipped or Worn Teeth: If your teeth are chipped, cracked, or worn down, veneers can restore their appearance and protect them from further damage.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Veneers can close small gaps between teeth, giving you a more uniform smile.
• Misaligned or Irregularly Shaped Teeth: Veneers can correct minor alignment issues and improve the shape of your teeth, creating a more harmonious smile.
