Custom-Crafted Veneers to Renew Your Smile
Porcelain veneers are a popular option to correct an array of cosmetic flaws and transform your smile. These individually fabricated restorations are attached directly to your teeth. Thanks to Dr. Dooley’s skill as a cosmetic dentist in Garland, TX, and the high-quality work of our partner lab, your veneers will blend seamlessly with your smile.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are made of thin porcelain. They will be carefully crafted to match the shape of your teeth and blend seamlessly with the natural shade of your smile. If Dr. Dooley determines that you are a good candidate for veneers, he will slightly reshape your teeth to make room for restorations. Then he will take impressions. Technicians at our partner lab will use these models to make veneers that fit precisely over your teeth. When they are finished, your cosmetic dentist in Garland, TX, will make sure they fit correctly and meet your goals for treatment. Then he will permanently attach them to your teeth.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Natural-looking veneers can achieve a wide range of cosmetic functions. You may choose veneers if you struggle with any of the following esthetic flaws:
- Unusually shaped or disproportionately small teeth
- Slightly crooked or gapped teeth
- Severely stained teeth
- Worn or chipped edges
- Tiny cracks or chips in your enamel
Placing porcelain veneers is a personalized process. You may choose to enhance a single tooth with one veneer. Alternatively, you could have veneers placed on all the teeth that show when you smile. When you care for your teeth properly, veneers could last ten years or more before needing replacement.
Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?
If you want to correct any of the cosmetic concerns listed above, veneers may be a good option for you. In order to receive veneers, Dr. Dooley will need to trim away some of your dental enamel. If you have suffered significant enamel erosion, you may not be eligible for treatment. However, we can often recommend an alternative, such as dental bonding. To make sure that veneers are right for you, Dr. Dooley will also examine your overall dental health. If you have decay or gum disease, he will need to treat these problems before recommending veneers.
The Process of Getting Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a sought-after solution for those aiming to dramatically transform their smiles. The thin shells made from porcelain are crafted to fit perfectly on the front surface of your teeth. But how do you go from a desire for a flawless smile to achieving it with veneers? Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Consultation:The first step is meeting with Dr. Dooley for a comprehensive consultation. This allows you to discuss your smile aspirations and for the doctor to evaluate your oral health, ensuring veneers are the right solution for you.
- Tooth Preparation:To accommodate the veneer, a small amount of enamel needs to be removed from the surface of the tooth. This step ensures that the veneer will fit seamlessly and look natural.
- Impression Taking:Once your teeth are prepared, an impression or mold of your teeth is taken. This mold is essential as it helps in crafting veneers that are a precise fit for your teeth.
- Temporary Veneers:You won’t leave with sensitive or altered teeth exposed. Temporary veneers will be placed to protect your teeth and give a preview of the final result.
- Crafting the Veneers:The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory where skilled technicians custom-create your porcelain veneers.
- Final Fitting:Upon your next visit, Dr. Dooley will place the veneers on your teeth to check the fit and appearance. Any necessary adjustments are made at this stage.
- Bonding:Once everything is perfect, the veneers are cemented onto your teeth using a special adhesive. A curing light is then used to harden the bond.
- Follow-Up:It’s common to have a follow-up appointment to ensure your gums and teeth are responding well to the veneers and to address any concerns you might have.
