What Are Veneers?
Oaks Dental provides transformative veneers that are thin, custom-made shells placed over the front surface of your teeth. Veneers are crafted from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, designed to improve the appearance of your smile by addressing chips, stains, minor misalignments, and gaps. Our cosmetic dentists use veneers to create a harmonious, symmetrical look, ensuring natural-looking results while preserving healthy tooth enamel.
Why Consider Veneers?
Veneers are an excellent choice for individuals seeking a long-lasting solution for smile imperfections. They can correct discoloration resistant to whitening treatments, reshape worn or uneven teeth, close gaps, and improve the overall balance of your smile. Veneers also support enamel preservation, as ultra-thin prepless veneers and Lumineers® require little to no veneer preparation, helping maintain your natural tooth structure. Choosing veneers is an investment in your confidence, self-esteem, and long-term oral health.
What Types of Veneers Are Available?
There are several types of veneers to choose from. However, don’t worry, at Oaks Dental our team will help you choose the best option for your needs, health and goals. However, here you can learn more about each of them:
- Porcelain Veneers: Crafted from high-quality porcelain, these veneers deliver a durable, stain-resistant finish with a natural translucency that mimics enamel.
- Lumineers®: An ultra-thin, prepless veneer option that requires minimal to no removal of your natural enamel, perfect for those seeking a reversible solution.
- eMax® Veneers: Known for their strength and lifelike appearance, eMax® veneers are a popular choice for patients who want long-lasting results with veneers and superior aesthetic outcomes.
- Porcelain Jackets: A full-coverage option ideal for more extensive cosmetic cases, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
What Is the Procedure for Getting Veneers?
Getting veneers is an important decision. So, our team will make sure that you know all your options with a consultation. In that appointment, our cosmetic dentists assess your smile, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of veneer for you.
Once you are sure to continue with the process, it’s time to prepare your teeth for porcelain and eMax® veneers. This, because a thin layer of enamel is removed to ensure proper fit. For Lumineers®, little to no preparation is needed.
Then, our team will create digital scans or molds to fabricate your custom veneers. After they are done, it’s time for placement. During the appointment, your veneers will be adjusted for fit and polished for a natural look. After that, you’ll have follow-up sessions to make sure everything is going fine.
How Many Appointments Will I Need?
Oaks Dental provides efficient treatment plans that typically require two to three visits for porcelain veneers or eMax® veneers:
- The initial consultation and planning.
- The veneer preparation and impression session.
- Final placement of your custom veneers.
For Lumineers® and prepless veneers, the process may be completed in just one to two visits, making them an excellent option for patients seeking faster results without compromising quality.
How Long Do Veneers Typically Last?
Veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. Porcelain veneers, Lumineers®, eMax® veneers, and porcelain jackets are all durable options, but lifespan depends on factors like your oral hygiene routine, veneer maintenance, use of a custom nightguard to protect against grinding, and avoidance of staining agents like coffee. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are essential to preserving healthy tooth enamel and ensuring the longevity of your veneers.
What Are No-Prep Veneers?
Oaks Dental provides no-prep veneer options like Lumineers® and ultra-thin prepless veneers for patients seeking smile enhancement without compromising their natural teeth. These minimal preparation solutions require little to no enamel preservation efforts, making them ideal for patients concerned about veneer preparation and reversibility. No-prep veneers are a popular choice for those who want a quick, effective smile makeover while maintaining healthy tooth structure.
How Do I Take Care of My Veneers?
Oaks Dental provides essential veneer maintenance guidance to help you protect your investment. To maintain optimal oral hygiene and the longevity of your veneers:
- Use non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush.
- Schedule regular professional cleanings and examinations at Oaks Dental.
- Wear a custom nightguard to protect against teeth grinding or clenching.
- Avoid staining agents like coffee, red wine, and tobacco.
- Practice daily flossing and maintain a balanced diet for overall oral health.
With proper care, your veneers can provide a long-lasting solution for smile transformation.
