Am I A Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers may be used to quickly hide chips and stains in your enamel, improve misaligned or worn down teeth, and fix teeth that are poorly spaced or shaped. At Leon Springs Dental Center, your porcelain veneers will be custom created to fit comfortably over your teeth for an appealing and natural look. During your consultation, Dr. Walker will listen to your goals and expectations so She can personalize your treatment. Dr. Walker may also find out if you’re a good candidate for cosmetic veneers by checking your overall oral health. You shouldn’t have signs of gum problems, or routinely clench your jaw and grind your teeth.

What to Expect from Porcelain Veneer Treatment

As soon as you’ve developed your personalized treatment plan with our team in our San Antonio office, we will take dental impressions. Your veneers might be produced in our office as you wait or the impressions could be sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be made out of high-quality porcelain material. As soon as your porcelain veneers are prepared, we will carefully remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth. This creates space for the veneers and improves the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts a long time. When your veneers are secured, we may make small adjustments so that your veneers fit well. Schedule an appointment with our team at Leon Springs Dental Center to learn more.

Porcelain Veneers FAQs

How should I clean my porcelain veneers?

You can clean your porcelain veneers like you do your organic teeth – with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste. You can also incorporate mouthwash, floss, or a water pick to get a deeper clean. It is essential to consult your dentist before using harsh chemicals like whitening agents.

Will it ruin my teeth if I get porcelain veneers?

Generally, your teeth should not be harmed if you receive your porcelain veneers from a skilled practitioner. Damage typically occurs when the veneers are not applied correctly due to excess enamel being removed. When this happens, the teeth become weak and are more likely to be damaged or broken.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers should last 10 — 15 years if correctly applied and maintained. To extend the lifetime of your veneers, it is essential to brush and floss daily as a part of a proper oral hygiene routine. Other necessary measures to ensure your veneers’ health include avoiding hard, chewy, or sticky foods.
