What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are the secret to many Hollywood smiles. Dental veneers are a one of the best methods for making instant enhancements to the appearance of your smile. They are wafer-thin shells that are are applied on the front surface of a person’s teeth in order to immediately correct flaws and imperfections (gaps, shape, discolorations) of the teeth. Dental veneers allow our team at Precious Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry in Miami Beach, Fl to correct issues such as discolored, misshapen, damaged and irregular tooth structure. More patients are choosing dental veneers as their preferred form of cosmetic dental treatment to enhance their smile due to the simplicity and versatility of the treatment. Veneers can last a long time. To ensure a long-lasting result, Dr. Mereos will thoroughly evaluate your bite to ensure that even bite forces are distributed throughout the mouth. This is one of the most important parts of placing veneers as poorly distributed bite can cause veneers to come off or break. With proper planning and care, your new dental veneers will enhance your smile for many years to come.

Porcelain Dental Veneer Procedure

The first step to getting dental veneers is to have a cosmetic consult to see if dental veneers are the best option for you. If dental veneers are right for you, then the first step is to take digital impressions and have our master ceramist design the veneers that are the right color and shape according to your specifications. At Precious Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry, we use a state-of-the-art digital impression system that provides higher accuracy than conventional impressions.
 
Once your custom veneers are created by the lab we are ready apply these. We first lightly prep your teeth, we shave off a small amount of natural tooth enamel on any tooth that is designated for dental veneers This is done to make space for the veneers. Next, a special etching solution is applied to the teeth. This roughens the surface of the teeth and helps the veneers bond easier. The etching solution is then washed off, and the teeth are thoroughly dried. The dental veneers are then applied to each tooth and secured with a long-lasting dental bond. To learn more about the veneer procedure, contact our office if you live in Miami Beach, FL or surrounding areas!
 

Do Porcelain Dental Veneers Look Natural?

Yes, once applied on a person’s teeth, porcelain veneers are nearly invisible. They provide the appearance of healthy, white tooth enamel. Since veneers are constructed from special stain-resistant materials, they are usually not prone to being discolored because of contact with tobacco products and dark-colored beverages like coffee, wine and juice. When cared for properly, a set of veneers should last for about ten years. Our practice offers different types of veneers such as porcelain veneers and composite veneers, as well as the Lumineers brand of veneers for your smile.
