Porcelain Veneers
Life's little mishaps, like a cup of coffee or an unexpected tumble, can sometimes leave lasting marks on your teeth and lead to the need for a makeover. Our dentist at Franklin Family Dental is here to introduce you to veneers, porcelain tooth covers that conceal imperfections to give you a beaming smile.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are thin, tooth-like shells that enhance the appearance of your smile by covering stains, gaps, cracks, and uneven teeth. Because they're made of porcelain, veneers are long-lasting, non-porous, and resistant to stains and cavities.
What Dental Issues Can Porcelain Veneers Address?
Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misaligned or uneven teeth
- Worn-down teeth
How Are Porcelain Veneers Placed?
Here’s how the procedure works: first, Dr. Zeh will prepare your teeth by removing a tiny bit of enamel to make room for the veneers. Next, she will create a precise mold of your teeth to make veneers that fit you perfectly.
While we craft your veneers, we may need to place temporary ones to protect your teeth and maintain your smile's appearance.
Once ready, our expert dentist will bond the new veneers to your teeth using a special dental adhesive. She will also make any necessary size and shape adjustments to ensure your veneers look and feel natural.
Are Porcelain Veneers Permanent?
Porcelain veneers are a long-term solution, but they are not permanent. With a little TLC and regular check-ins, you can expect them to brighten your smile for a good 10-15 years, or perhaps even longer.
If your veneers become damaged or need replacement, don’t wait and contact us. Our skilled team at Franklin Family Dental is always here to lend a hand.
