Dr. Richard Weigand, DDS, can transform your teeth into an exquisite smile in a matter of weeks with porcelain teeth veneers. These FAQs from our patients explain more about veneers, how they work, and what they can do for you.
Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells bonded to the surface of imperfect teeth to enhance their appearance. They cover defects like stains, chips, gaps, misshapen, and crooked teeth to make your smile look beautiful.
Dr. Weigand will schedule a consultation to assess your cosmetic dental needs. At this time, we’ll discuss your vision for a beautiful smile and decide if veneers are the best treatment for you. If so, we will prepare your teeth for veneers by preparing the enamel as part of your treatment plan. Afterward, impressions are taken of your teeth and sent to a lab as a blueprint to fabricate your veneers. To prevent sensitivity, we will use temporary veneers to protect your teeth in the interim. When your porcelain veneers are ready, we’ll schedule a second visit to permanently bond them to your teeth, transforming your smile instantly.
No. Dr. Weigand can use a local anesthetic when prepping your teeth and placing the veneers so you feel no pain or discomfort.
Porcelain veneers have a stunning, natural-looking appearance that will bring out your smile’s hidden beauty! Veneers will make tooth flaws disappear, leaving behind a smooth and beautiful smile. Dr. Weigand can make your smile appear fuller, whiter, straighter, and healthier with porcelain teeth veneers.
Veneers only require minor preparation for your teeth. The process is simple and quick, but the beautiful results are long-lasting. Porcelain veneers can be customized to look like your natural teeth, making it difficult for anyone to tell the difference! Your smile will look natural and aesthetically pleasing.
No, veneers will not harm your teeth. However, they require care as your teeth are still prone to decay or gum disease. Good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can keep your veneers and teeth strong and healthy for years.
With good oral care, porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years. To prevent premature damage and wear, it’s best to avoid eating hard foods and stop bad habits of chewing on ice and wearing a custom-fitting night guard.
