How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Porcelain veneers are a convenient and effective solution to get you your dream smile with minimal effort and time. These custom-made shells are designed to cover the front surface of teeth, mimicking the natural look, instantly improving their colour, shape, size, and alignment. A non-invasive procedure, veneers require little preparation and deliver dramatic results quickly. They are stain-resistant and durable, making them a long-lasting cosmetic option. Read on to discover the fast and hassle-free way to achieve the flawless smile porcelain veneers provide.

What Are Porcelain Veneers and What Are They For?

Porcelain veneers are thin, enamel-like shells crafted from durable ceramic material. Made to improve the appearance of teeth, they are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution that enhances your smile by addressing a variety of dental imperfections.

So, how do porcelain veneers work? Veneers are commonly used to correct issues such as:

Discoloured or stained teeth that can’t be improved with traditional whitening
Damage such a chips and cracks
Gaps between teeth
Minor misalignments or uneven shapes.

Because they are tailored to match the natural colour and contour of your teeth, porcelain veneers provide a realistic result and, with proper care, can last many years. For a long-lasting, non-invasive way to enhance the beauty of your smile, porcelain veneers are the perfect choice as they have the ability to deliver dramatic, yet natural-looking results with minimal discomfort or downtime.

How Porcelain Veneers Are Applied

There are several steps involved in getting your porcelain veneers fitted. This multi-process typically involves two to three dental visits. Here's how it works:

Consultation: In your first appointment, your dentist will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and identify if veneers are the right solution for you.
Preparation:If you get the go-ahead, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the front surface of the teeth, making room for the veneers. An impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab, where your custom veneers are created.
Temporary Veneers: While you wait for your permanent veneers to be created, temporary ones may be placed to protect your teeth and preview your new smile.
Bonding: Once the veneers are completed, your dentist will check the fit and colour before bonding them to your teeth with a special adhesive and curing light to harden them.

How to Care for Porcelain Veneer

There's no science to caring for porcelain veneers. Just treat them the way you would your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily as usual, avoiding being too rough and harsh with toothpastes. Even though veneers are stain-resistant, try to limit your intake of foods that can stain, such as coffee and red wine. And keep away from extra hard foods or objects that could crack or chip your veneers.

It is recommended to wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth at night and visit your dentist for regular cleanings and exams to ensure your veneers and overall oral health stay in great shape.

The Cost of Porcelain Veneers

The cost of your veneers will vary based on several factors. This can include your location, the dentist’s experience, and the number of veneers required.

The price you pay will be affected by your dentist’s expertise, as more experienced cosmetic dentists may charge higher fees. Prices are also higher in major cities or upscale areas. Costs can also rise if other dental work is needed before veneers can be placed (e.g., whitening or gum treatment).

It is important to know that veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and usually won’t be covered by dental insurance.

Schedule a consultation with your dentist for a personalised quote and treatment plan for porcelain veneers. Financing options or payment plans may be available through your dentist.
