6 Things You Should Know About Porcelain Teeth Veneers

When you have flaws in your smile, it can lower your confidence. In some cases, you may avoid social interactions or situations where you have to speak in front of people. Whether you have dental imperfections like a chipped or badly discolored teeth, Dr. Francisco Marcano at Sarasota Center for General Dentistry can help you with porcelain veneers.

1. Understanding Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made with thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that Dr. Marcano bonds to the front of your teeth. With veneers, you can improve the shape and size of your teeth, and the color.

If you’re worried about removing enamel from your teeth, use minimal-prep veneers like DURAthin. These veneers are super thin and comparable in thickness to contact lenses, while at the same time being very strong to avoid any fractures. 

2. A Customized Solution for a Flawless Smile

Porcelain veneers are designed specifically for your unique smile, and are custom-crafted to match your features perfectly. Dr. Marcano uses detailed molds and photos to map out the smile you want so they blend perfectly with your natural teeth. With Dr. Marcano’s artistic eye, you know you’ll end up with a flawless smile.

3. You Can Correct Multiple Cosmetic Flaws with One Treatment

One of the best things about porcelain veneers is how versatile they are. With them, Dr. Marcano can address any of these issues:

• Stained and/or discolored teeth that don’t respond to professional teeth whitening
• Teeth that have worn down from grinding
• Veneers for chipped teeth
• Slightly crooked teeth
• Teeth with gaps between them
• Short teeth
• Irregularly shaped teeth
• Teeth that are crowded
• Minor misalignment
• Uneven enamel or surface texture

4. Porcelain Veneers Are Durable and Long-Lasting

When you invest in porcelain veneers, you’ll rest easy knowing that your veneers are very durable and will last a long time. You can expect to get anywhere from 10 to 15 years out of your veneers, sometimes even longer.

To keep your veneers looking beautiful, take good care of your oral hygiene and avoid using your teeth as tools. Most importantly, be sure you do regular dental checkups at Sarasota Center for General Dentistry.

5. A Natural and Seamless Look and Feel

Porcelain looks and feels similar to your natural teeth. Dr. Marcano uses high-quality, advanced techniques to ensure that your veneers beautifully match your other teeth, in shape, color, and translucency.

6. Minimal Discomfort with Advanced Placement Techniques

Here’s what you can expect during the porcelain veneer process:

1. Dr. Marcano does a consultation with you, where you will plan what you want for your smile.  A detailed scan of your teeth will help us create an ideal wax-up of your smile, which Dr. Marcano will use as the blueprint for your case. 
2. A small amount of dental enamel will be removed to prepare your teeth. In some cases, no enamel is removed at all.
3. The team takes precise molds and images of your teeth so the laboratory can craft your custom veneers.
4. Dr. Marcano places temporary veneers on your teeth while you wait for your permanent ones to come in.
5. Once your permanent veneers are ready, Dr. Marcano will bond them to your teeth.
