WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS MADE OF?
Porcelain veneers are a type of dental veneer. They are made using high-quality ceramic that is shaped into an ultra-thin shell that will fit over the front and sides of the tooth. Each porcelain veneer is custom-made to your unique specifications for a superior result. The materials used will reflect light much like a natural tooth and be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Porcelain veneers can provide a durable restoration due to the stain-resistant quality of the ceramic material when compared to natural tooth enamel.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL VANEERS?
Most patients are candidates for the placement of dental veneers. There are factors to consider when choosing dental veneers to achieve your cosmetic dental goals:
- Permanent restorations: dental veneers are considered a permanent dental restoration due to the amount of tooth surface removed to accommodate placement.
- Cost: This restoration will likely cost more than other options such as tooth bonding, but they will offer a more lasting and durable result.
HOW LONG DO PORCELAIN VENEERS TAKE TO COMPLETE?
The process for placing porcelain veneers will require up to 3 visits to one of our Corbin Dental office locations in Bayside and Oyster Bay, NY. The initial visit will include a consultation, dental exam, and digital diagnostics as needed to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
A second visit will be scheduled to prepare the teeth. This involves removing a small amount of tooth enamel, enough to allow for stable placement of the veneers. After the preparation, we will take dental impressions for use in the design of your custom veneers. In most cases, temporary veneers are placed to protect the teeth until the final veneers are complete.
The final visit is for placing the porcelain veneers and revealing your new smile. We will remove the temporary veneers, clean the tooth surfaces and carefully place the veneers. Adjustments are made as needed for fit and appearance before each veneer is permanently secured to the tooth. Once polished, your new smile is ready to be shared!
HOW DO I CARE FOR PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Porcelain veneers are considered a strong, durable restoration that can be cared for like a natural tooth. Daily brushing and flossing will support oral health and the best outcome. Regular dental care is also an important part of maintaining your dental health and the integrity of your new restorations. During routine exams, we will monitor the condition of your veneers. Damage can often be repaired when caught early on to avoid the need for replacing a veneer.
DO PORCELAIN VENEERS BREAK EASILY?
Porcelain veneers are made to be durable, however, they are slightly less durable than natural teeth and need to be treated with care. Veneers are more likely to break or crack if a patient bites into something too hard, like ice. They are not as strong as your natural tooth enamel.
HOW LONG DO PORCELAIN VENEERS LAST?
Porcelain veneers may last anywhere from 10 to 30 years. This varies depending on placement, oral care, and diet. It is important to be careful with your veneers to prevent them from breaking. You may start to notice cracks and imperfections after about 10 years. Make sure to stay on top of your dental appointments to keep them healthy.
