What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells typically made of porcelain. They’re designed to cover the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are incredibly popular because they can correct multiple imperfections at once, so you don’t need multiple procedures to achieve the same results.

At Main Street Family Dental Danville, we create custom veneers that are made to match your ideal tooth shade, shape, and size. This ensures a flawless result that blends right into your natural smile. Your friends and family will see the positive difference, but no one else will be able to tell you’ve had any cosmetic work done.

The Process of Getting Veneers

The first step on your path to a new smile begins with a consultation at our Danville office. There, we’ll discuss your goals and examine your teeth to see if veneers are right for you. Here’s what to expect once you’re good to go:

  • Preparation: We gently remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to make room for the veneers.
  • Impressions: Digital impressions are taken to design your custom veneers.
  • Temporary Veneers: You may receive temporary veneers to wear while your permanent ones are being made.
  • Final Placement: Once your veneers are ready, we’ll bond them to your teeth and make final adjustments for a perfect fit.

The entire process usually takes two to four weeks and results in a gorgeous grin that can last for over a decade with proper care.

Veneers FAQs

Are Veneers Permanent?

Veneers cannot be called permanently since they will eventually need to be replaced. However, the process of placing them is irreversible since it requires the removal of a small amount of enamel that will not grow back. Removing this enamel ensures that the appliances fit properly so they do not protrude in an unsightly manner or easily become separated from the teeth. After your veneers are placed, the treated teeth must wear them for life for protection against injuries and infections.

What Happens to the Teeth Under Veneers?

Since only a minimal amount of enamel must be removed to place veneers and the cement used to secure them is safe for use inside the human mouth, the treatment will not harm your teeth. Once placed, the veneers will work in the stead of the removed enamel to protect the teeth from infection from injury, so the treatment will not increase your risk of cavities or other oral infections. However, proper oral hygiene will still be essential after receiving veneers, so be sure to continue brushing and flossing every day to eliminate plaque and bacteria-breeding food debris. It’s also important to see the team at Main Street Family Dental for regular exams and cleanings while limiting your consumption of foods and beverages that are sugary or acidic.

Do Veneers Give You a Lisp?

You may have some trouble pronouncing certain words when you first receive veneers, but any lisp you develop after the treatment will be mild and temporary. Since veneers alter the dimensions of the teeth that receive them, they can change the way air flows about the mouth during speech, so it might take some time for your lips and tongue to relearn how to speak clearly. This adjustment period usually progresses quickly, but you can accelerate the process by singing a song or reading a favorite book out loud and stopping to repeat any difficult words until you get the hang of them. In some cases, we can adjust a patient’s veneers to help them get rid of a lisp faster.

Can You Whiten Veneers?

Since veneers are made from nonporous ceramic materials, they cannot be affected by teeth whitening treatments designed to brighten natural enamel. If you are interested in receiving both veneers and teeth whitening treatments, it may be best to have your smile whitened first so your veneers can be color-matched to its bright new shade. If you already have veneers and wish to whiten your teeth, it may be necessary to remove the appliances before the treatment and replace them afterward to prevent your smile from being unevenly shaded.
