Porcelain Veneers Effectively Hide Imperfections

At Elite Family Dental in Fisherville, KY, we provide porcelain veneers as a comprehensive solution to address a range of cosmetic concerns, such as chips and cracks. Crafted from durable and realistic-looking porcelain, these prosthetic tooth surfaces effectively conceal imperfections. Utilizing advanced CEREC® technology, our office can create your veneers in a single visit, instantly enhancing your smile. Not only are porcelain veneers aesthetically pleasing, but they are also long-lasting, offering years of benefits to patients who maintain good oral hygiene.

Treatment For Porcelain Veneers

During your first meeting with our doctors, we will discuss your desired results and determine if porcelain veneers are the best option for you. We will work closely with you to create mockups that show how your smile will look after the treatment. If you are happy with the mockups and ready to proceed, we will carefully remove the minimum amount of enamel needed to accommodate the veneers. Using our CEREC machine, we will then create impressions and make your veneers from a single block of porcelain. Thanks to this advanced technology, you can have porcelain veneers in just one visit to our office. Once your new restoration is ready, we will bond the veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth, ensuring they closely match the color and texture of your natural teeth for a seamless, natural-looking smile.

Could I Be Considered As A Candidate For Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for addressing small cracks or chips in your teeth, as well as for improving the appearance of small teeth that don't match the rest of your smile. They can greatly enhance your dental aesthetics and complement your facial features. Moreover, if you have intrinsic stains that are resistant to whitening treatments, veneers can be a viable option for you.

However, it's important to understand that veneers primarily serve a cosmetic purpose and are not designed to address major orthodontic issues, decay, or tooth loss. It is crucial that your teeth are strong enough to support the veneers before undergoing the procedure. To determine your suitability for veneers, our office will conduct a thorough oral health evaluation. If any preexisting oral health issues are identified, they will need to be addressed before commencing the veneer treatment.

Advantages Of Veneers

Choosing veneers as a dental treatment not only gives individuals a natural and durable solution, but also brings along several benefits. These veneers are made with advanced materials that closely resemble the look of real teeth, including their transparency and shade. By achieving the smile they desire, patients are likely to see an improvement in their self-confidence. A study conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that individuals who had porcelain veneers experienced a significant increase in their confidence levels and overall quality of life.
  • DURABLE
    Porcelain veneers are crafted from durable and stain-resistant porcelain material. Unlike porous materials, porcelain does not absorb stains, ensuring a long-lasting and vibrant smile. For an even brighter appearance, consider teeth whitening treatments.
  • COLOR MATCHING
    For color matching, it is common for patients to opt for teeth whitening prior to getting veneers. This helps ensure that the veneers blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, which have been enhanced to a dazzling new shade.
  • LONG TERM
    Veneers have a long-term durability, with an average lifespan of around 10 years when they are well-maintained.
