WHAT ARE DENTAL VENEERS?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover your teeth’ front surface. Veneers are usually made of porcelain or composite material and can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Veneers are irreversible, so it’s essential to consult with Dr. Ardy before making a decision.

THE PROS OF DENTAL VENEERS

Dental veneers have many benefits, making them a popular choice among patients. Some of the pros include: 

• We can use them to improve your teeth’ color, shape, and size. 
• We can use them to close gaps between your teeth. 
• They can make your teeth look straighter and more uniform. 
• They’re durable and long-lasting (with proper care). 
• They’re stain-resistant. 
• They can help protect your tooth’s enamel from further damage. 
• They can boost your confidence!

THE CONS OF DENTAL VENEERS

As with anything, there are also some drawbacks that you should be aware of before getting dental veneers. These include: 

• They’re irreversible. 
• They require removing a significant amount of tooth enamel (which can increase your risk for tooth sensitivity). 
• They’re not a good choice if you have gum disease or other dental problems. 
• They’re more expensive than other cosmetic dental options. 

ARE DENTAL VENEERS WORTH IT?

After comparing the pros and cons, the short answer is Yes! Veneers are an excellent option for people who want to improve their smile without undergoing major dental work. They are an ideal solution for correcting various cosmetic dental concerns, such as stained or discolored teeth, chips, cracks, and even gaps between teeth. Veneers, made from porcelain or composite resin, are durable and can last many years with proper care. 

While the initial cost of veneers is higher than other cosmetic dental treatments, the benefits usually outweigh the cost in the long run. Veneers are a much more conservative treatment than dental implants or crowns, and we can complete them in just two visits to your dentist. If you are considering veneers, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ardy to determine if they are right for you.

THE DENTAL VENEER PROCESS

Omid Dental offers premium quality porcelain veneers custom-made to fit your mouth. Dr. Ardy will first apply a local anesthetic to the area near the tooth to ensure your comfort while having dental work done. After removing the enamel layer, we will make impressions of the tooth to create your porcelain veneer. While you wait for the veneers to be made, we will affix a temporary veneer to the tooth. At your subsequent appointment, we will remove the temporary veneer, secure the permanent porcelain veneer, and cure the bonding agent using a special UV light.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR VENEERS

Veneers are strong and durable but require special care to keep them looking their best. Here are a few tips for caring for your veneers:

• Brush and floss your teeth twice a day. Veneers are resistant to staining and discoloration, but it’s still important to brush and floss regularly to keep your natural teeth healthy. 
• Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects. Veneers are designed to withstand the force of normal biting and chewing, but they can be damaged if you bite or chew on hard things like ice or fingernails. 
• See Dr. Ardy  for regular checkups. Just like your natural teeth, we need to check your veneers for signs of wear or damage. Be sure to see your dentist for routine cleanings and checkups. 

With proper care, veneers can last for many years. Following these simple tips can help keep your veneers looking their best for years to come.
