Veneers Q & A
What are veneers?
Veneers are paper-thin porcelain panels that cover individual teeth. Dr. Danielewicz bonds veneers to the front of your teeth to give you a secure and completely natural-looking correction for many common aesthetic dental concerns.
When do I need veneers?
Veneers are a very popular cosmetic dentistry option because they can revitalize your smile in so many ways. Veneers can correct:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Broken teeth
- Badly discolored teeth that can't be professionally whitened
- Gap between your teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth
Some patients who choose veneers don't have specific concerns like cracks or discoloration, but simply want to create a more uniform and attractive smile overall.
What is the process of getting veneers?
First, Dr. Danielewicz performs an oral exam and discusses your aesthetic concerns with you. Most patients who have healthy teeth and gums are excellent candidates for veneers, so if you're ready to move ahead with the veneers process, you can do so the same day.
Dr. Danielewicz takes a detailed impression of your tooth and sends it to a lab for fabrication.
Dr. Danielewicz lightly buffs the front of your tooth to prepare it for the veneer. He uses very strong bonding material to place the new veneer in the perfect position and a special curing light to harden the bonding material and secure your veneer. Then you're done!
How long will my veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last for at least 10-15 years with proper care. To keep your veneers in the best condition, use a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush.
When you floss, use the same technique as usual but exercise extra caution when flossing the areas around the veneers and use only a gentle touch to avoid loosening them.
Dr. Danielewicz checks your veneers during your regular oral health exams to ensure they're in good condition and stable as well.
