Dental veneers serve as an excellent solution if you are looking to enhance your smile. They are a popular cosmetic treatment because of their overall effectiveness and ease of use.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a great option if you’re experiencing crowding problems, chipped teeth, worn down teeth, or stained teeth. These thin shells are placed over the front surface of your teeth, effectively concealing any noticeable flaws and creating a visually even appearance.
Veneers can be customized to match the color of your teeth and are applied with minimal discomfort. Once in place, these durable shells will last for several years before needing to be repaired or replaced.
At Revive Dental, our approach to dental veneers is tailored to your individual needs. We’ll schedule two appointments to ensure the perfect fit: the first for taking impressions of your teeth, and the second for the application of the veneers.
How Do Dental Veneers Work?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are fixed to the front of a person’s teeth. They are very easy to apply, requiring little preparation of the teeth and then securing in place with a strong dental adhesive. In some cases, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed before the veneers can be applied; this makes for a better fit. Once installed, veneers can conceal any correct misalignment and improve spacing.
What Types Of Dental Veneers Are Available?
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options to help you improve your smile.Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are manufactured in-office using tooth-colored resin and are applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, and they work well to cover up many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-made out of porcelain to fit your teeth. These are typically made in a laboratory and sent to our office. We will apply them and ensure they fit your teeth as they should. Porcelain veneers generally last longer because of the stronger material, provide a more natural look, and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth positioned incorrectly.
How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
Our veneers in Alpharetta, GA are made of a high-quality material that is designed to last. On average, most veneers last 10-15 years. However, with exceptional dental care, your dental veneers can last more than 20 years. If your dental veneers need to be repaired or replaced, please contact our office right away so we can get you smiling again.
Are You A Good Candidate For Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers can be an excellent solution for many patients, but they are not ideal for everyone. Good candidates typically have healthy teeth and gums but are looking to correct cosmetic issues such as discoloration, minor misalignment, or gaps between teeth. Veneers may not be suitable for individuals with significant tooth decay or gum disease, and those who grind their teeth may need to consider wearing a nightguard to protect their veneers from damage. During your consultation, we will assess your oral health and discuss whether veneers are the right option for you.
