Porcelain Veneers Gainesville, FL

Porcelain veneers are useful for restoration of the shape and aesthetics of chipped or broken teeth. You can benefit from porcelain veneers, if you have any of the following problems.

• Permanent teeth stains – some developmental teeth stains cannot be removed through a professional teeth whitening procedure. Therefore, at Smart Smile Dentistry in Gainesville FL, Dr. Samant cosmetically restores these with the help of porcelain veneers.
• Smile makeover – if you are not happy with your smile or the shape of your teeth, we will give you a complete smile makeover, so that you can smile again with confidence.
• Excessive teeth gaps – excessive gap between adjacent teeth, also known as a diastema are cosmetically restored by placing porcelain veneers over the teeth. The veneers will cover up the gap and improve your facial aesthetic and smile.
• Crooked or chipped teeth – broken or misshaped teeth not only ruin your smile, but also create hindrances while eating and speaking. At Smart Smile Dentistry, we restore the aesthetics, structure and function of these teeth with the help of porcelain veneers.

At Smart Smile Dentistry, we strive to provide you with the highest quality cosmetic dental services. The fabrication and placement of porcelain veneers is carried out in multiple steps, and may require one or more visits.

• Patient evaluation – not every patient may be a candidate for getting veneers. Dr. Samant will perform a detailed examination of your teeth, so as to make sure that you are a suitable candidate.
• Tooth preparation – Dr. Samant will then prepare your teeth for the placement of veneers. This is done by removing a very thin layer of the natural tooth structure, thereby creating space for the veneers. At this stage, the shade and color of the adjacent natural teeth will be recorded and sent to the laboratory.
• Impression making – after the teeth have been prepared, an impression of the prepared teeth will be recorded, which will then be sent to the dental laboratory for the fabrication of veneers.
• Veneer cementation – once the veneers are received back from the laboratory, they will be first tried onto your teeth without permanently cementing them. If the aesthetics and fit are found to be satisfactory, Dr. Samant will permanently attach them to your teeth with the help of an adhesive cement. However, if any minor modifications are required before permanent cementation, they are usually made at the dental chairside.

Veneers can correct all of the same cosmetic problems as bonding restorations, but they last longer and are more resistant to stains. These restorations are also a more conservative choice for the front teeth than porcelain crowns, which require more reduction of tooth structure. In addition to covering stains and giving teeth a pleasing size and shape, veneers can be used to correct widely spaced or slightly crooked teeth.

Process of bonding porcelain veneers explained in 4 easy steps:
1. Prepare teeth for veneers
2. Create an impression of the prepared teeth
3. Affix temporary veneers
4. Bond new restorations

If you take proper care of your oral hygiene through regular brushing and flossing, and adhere to your dentist’s instruction, then you can expect your veneers to last for even more than a decade!

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Teeth whitening is only effective on the natural teeth, which are porous and allow the penetration of the bleaching agent. if your porcelain veneers somehow get stained, then the only option is to replace them with new ones.

This will mainly depend upon your chosen insurance plan. You can contact your insurance company for further details before getting your porcelain veneers.
