Austin Porcelain Veneers Questions

Serving Austin, Round Rock, Texas And Surrounding Areas

What are the benefits of porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a great way to get the illusion of “instant orthodontics.” Duplicating the look and feel of tooth enamel, porcelain veneers are natural-looking, durable and stain-resistant. They can create an instantly whiter, more aesthetically pleasing smile. Color, and shape of veneers can be customized to fit your teeth.

Do you have to remove enamel to place porcelain veneers?

Unlike other cosmetic dentistry procedures, porcelain veneers are one of the least invasive treatments. Your dentist will remove only a very thin layer of enamel to prepare for placement of the veneers.
Porcelain veneering is unlike preparing teeth for crowns. In many cases a new option called Lumineers can be used which requires little or no removal of tooth structure and the very thin porcelain shell is placed directly over the surface of your natural teeth.

Will others be able to tell I have veneers?

Because we use porcelain material to create your dental veneers, they have the same translucent and shiny appearance of natural enamel. Your veneers can be fully customized to match your tooth shade or the shade you always wanted and are placed to fit so they blend in with your other teeth.

How many teeth need to be veneered?

Depending on your needs, you may require porcelain veneers only on one or two teeth. If you feel a number of teeth need to be corrected, veneers can be placed over 8 or more teeth in a row. Your dentist will help you decide how to design your resulting smile.

How do I take care of my porcelain veneers?

Porcelain Veneers are smooth and durable and can function as normal teeth. You can eat and drink normally, but as you would for your natural teeth, be sure to avoid hard candy or damaging habits like nail-biting and ice crunching to maintain them.

Will my veneers become discolored or decay over time?

Porcelain Veneers have the added advantage of resisting staining and discoloration. They also resist plaque better than natural teeth and are not prone to decay. You can count on your veneered teeth to be healthy and bright for a very long time.

How are veneers customized to fit my face?

With dental veneers, the porcelain material allows your dentist to mold them to create a smile that complements your facial features. By changing the shape and shade of teeth with veneers, we can improve your smile instantly.
