Find out how this simple solution offered at our Dearborn, MI, practice can dramatically transform your smile.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth­-colored porcelain shells that are permanently bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Unlike crowns, dental veneers only cover the front surfaces of teeth and are mainly used to treat cosmetic issues.

Veneers crafted from porcelain are extremely long-lasting and natural-looking since porcelain mimics the qualities of natural teeth. When cared for properly, they can last for up to 10 years or more, making them a worthwhile investment.

Five porcelain laminates covered small chips and whitened our patient's smile. These veneers are colored and shaped to look just like natural teeth. As a result, people can see a beautiful smile, as opposed to noticing that our patient has undergone cosmetic dentistry.

Investing in Your Results
Why We Use Porcelain

Veneers

Our thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to give your smile a natural feel and look. Porcelain veneers often cost more than composite and resin materials. However, they are the most natural-looking option for veneers.

They match the natural color of your enamel and are semi-transparent, just like your natural teeth. They are also stain-resistant and durable, making them a long-lasting cosmetic improvement. While you'll need to whiten discolored natural teeth, veneers keep their pearly white sheen over time.

Candidates for Veneers

Before beginning treatment, you will meet with one of our Dearborn, MI, dentists to discuss your goals and determine whether dental veneers are right for you. The best candidates for veneers have:

Certain Cosmetic Imperfections

Dental veneers are designed to mask a wide range of dental imperfections, but they may not be the best form of treatment for patients with more mild or more significant dental problems. If you have surface stains on your teeth, teeth whitening alone may be sufficient. If you suffer from extensive misalignment, orthodontic treatment may be a better choice. Lastly, if you have tooth damage, crowns may provide the support you need.

Sufficient Tooth Enamel

The doctor will need to remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for your porcelain veneer. Therefore, patients must have a sufficient amount of healthy tooth enamel to qualify for treatment.

Good Oral Health

The best candidates for veneers have good oral health and no decay or periodontal disease. If you have other dental conditions, we will treat these first before recommending cosmetic dentistry.

The Desire for Permanent Change

Veneers require our dentists to make permanent alterations to the natural tooth structure, so the procedure is only a good option for patients who are committed to having porcelain veneers or another type of dental restoration for the rest of their lives.

Take a Closer Look at Veneer Placement

Need a visual? Placing veneers is a custom process designed to conceal your exact smile concerns. As you can see, each veneer fits smoothly over your teeth. This prevents potential movement and ensures that your new results look as natural as possible.

Placing Dental Veneers A New Smile in Two Appointments

We personalize each and every veneer treatment, creating a different plan for all of our patients. The broad strokes typically go something like this:

When cared for properly, veneers can last for up to a decade.
When cared for properly, veneers can last for up to a decade.

Consultation

During your initial consultation with one of our dentists, we will determine if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers or if you'd be better suited for another cosmetic dentistry procedure.

Preparation

At your first appointment, the dentist will first remove a very fine layer of enamel in order to create space for the veneers. If your teeth are discolored, you may choose to undergo teeth whitening so that we can match the color of your veneer to your newly whitened smile.

Impressions

Next, the dentist will take impressions of your teeth. The impressions will be sent to a trusted dental lab. While the lab is fabricating your custom veneers, our dentists will provide temporary veneers.

Placement

Typically, it takes the ceramist at the lab one to two weeks to craft your porcelain veneers. Once they are ready, you will return to the office for placement. After checking that the veneers are a precise fit, the dentist will bond them to the surface of the tooth with dental cement.

Have Additional Concerns? Consider a Fully Personalized Smile Makeover

Veneers are an excellent option for transforming your front teeth. If you have additional concerns, you may want to consider a comprehensive smile makeover. Each plan is completely customized to your needs. For example, if you have widespread staining our dentists can whiten your teeth before veneer placement. Or, they can use gum contouring to remove excess tissue for a more balanced smile.

Restorative vs. Cosmetic Procedures What's the Difference?

Some patients come to us thinking they need veneers, when really they require a crown — or vice versa. We use veneers for cosmetic concerns and crowns for restorative ones. Not sure how to tell the difference? We'll give you a quick rundown.

Cosmetic

Cosmetic dental procedures are focused on transforming the aesthetics of your smile. They are not medically necessary to maintain good oral health, which means insurance won't cover the cost of treatment. Veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure since they mask the dental problem rather than structurally fix it. You can help extend the life of cosmetic procedures like veneers through good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings. 

Restorative

Restorative dental procedures are focused on improving your overall oral health. Since these procedures are deemed medically necessary, insurance will often cover at least a part of the procedure's cost. The goal of restorative dentistry is primarily to improve the function of your teeth, not the look of your smile. While a side effect may be an improvement in the appearance of your smile, this is not the prime focus of the procedure.
