Porcelain Veneers in Campus Drive Suite
Porcelain veneers are one of the fastest ways to transform your smile. These thin, custom-crafted shells cover the front of your teeth to hide stains, chips, gaps, and irregularities, creating a bright, natural-looking smile. At G Dental Group, we design every set of veneers around your facial features and goals so your results look beautiful and uniquely yours.
What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. A dental technician uses a model created by your dentist to craft each veneer to the exact shape, size, and shade you want. Because porcelain reflects light much like natural enamel, veneers look remarkably lifelike and resist stains.
What Can Veneers Correct?
- Deep stains and discoloration that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Worn, short, or uneven teeth
- Mildly crooked or misshapen teeth
The Veneer Process
Your veneer journey begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your teeth and gums. Next, a thin layer of enamel is removed from the front of the teeth to make room for the veneers, and impressions are taken for the dental laboratory. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are crafted. At your final visit, we check the fit and color, then bond your veneers in place and polish them for a flawless finish.
Are Veneers Permanent?
Because a small amount of enamel is removed, veneers are generally considered a permanent treatment. With proper care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer before needing replacement. Veneers can chip or crack, but overall, most patients are thrilled with their new smile for years to come.
Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options
For surface stains, teeth whitening may be all you need. For alignment issues, Invisalign® moves teeth into position. For badly damaged teeth, a crown may be a better choice. Small chips can sometimes be repaired with bonding or tooth-colored fillings. We’ll help you compare options as part of a complete cosmetic dentistry plan.
Caring for Your Veneers
Brush and floss normally, avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, and fingernails, and limit foods and drinks that stain. If you grind your teeth, a custom night guard will protect your veneers. Keep up with routine cleanings and exams to keep your natural teeth and gums healthy. See all our dental services.
