What Are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers from Lake Shore Dental have a shell-like structure that fits over your natural teeth. They disguise imperfections in shape, size, and color and can fill in gaps. Made from durable material and bonded to the enamel, they act like regular teeth.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
If you care for them correctly, your Lake Shore Dental porcelain veneers in Waco, TX, will last for ten years or longer. Dr. Waggener & Dr. Kucera couple top-quality porcelain with the latest bonding technology to ensure a flawless fit.
What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?
There is only so much that you can accomplish with crowns. Lake Shore Dental veneers are a cosmetic procedure that disguise:
- Discoloration
- Worn teeth
- Misalignments
- Chips and breaks
- Uneven or irregular teeth
- Gaps
Dr. Waggener or Dr. Kucera begins by taking an impression of your teeth. It’s advisable to let them know if you have any conditions that may affect the veneers.
For example, if you grind your teeth at night, you’ll also need a mouthguard to protect your new dental work at night. You can also speak to them about concerns you may have with oral hygiene at this stage.
Once we have all the information, we will forward it to the lab to fabricate the veneers to fit over this impression. Your dentist then checks to ensure that the color matches and that the veneers fit properly.
If all is correct, they shave a little enamel off your teeth and chemically bond the veneers to the surface. You leave Lake Shore Dental with a new smile on the same day.
You may initially experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures due to the shaving of the enamel and should wear off in a few weeks. You should schedule a follow-up visit with Lake Shore Dental if it does not.
The Difference Between Composite and Porcelain Veneers
Most people who come to Lake Shore Dental believe the only difference between the two is the price. However, it pays to look at durability and aesthetics here as well. Porcelain lasts twice as long as composite and looks more like natural teeth.
How to Care for Veneers in Waco, TX
Caring for veneers is relatively simple as long as you adopt good dental hygiene practices. The primary difference is that you should use non-abrasive toothpaste, but the rest of the routine is the same. The Lake Shore Dental team will go over everything if you need assistance.
As with natural teeth, visiting Lake Shore Dental twice a year will keep them in the best possible shape.
