Veneers Q & A
What are veneers?
Veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-shaped shells that are permanently bonded to the front-facing portion of your teeth, where they improve the appearance of your smile by covering up cosmetic imperfections. Veneers are typically made of porcelain, which has a similar color and translucency as your natural tooth enamel, making them look just like a better version of your natural teeth.
How do veneers improve my smile?
Dr. Simic can use veneers to improve any of the following characteristics of your smile:
Color
Veneers instantly give you a whiter smile. They’re especially popular as a whitening solution because they brighten smiles that may not respond to professional bleaching treatments. Veneers are also stain-resistant, so your smile will stay beautiful for the long haul.
Size and shape
Whether your teeth have been worn down from grinding or just aren’t the right size or shape to begin with, veneers can upgrade your smile so that it better suits your face and appearance.
Alignment and spacing
You can use veneers to close up small gaps between your teeth or make corrections to minor misalignments.
Damage
By covering up the front of your teeth, veneers mask cosmetically unappealing damage like cracks and chips.
What’s the process of getting veneers?
Veneers start with a consultation. You and Dr. Simic discuss what you don’t like about your teeth and how you imagine your dream smile should look. It sometimes helps to bring in pictures of smiles you like to serve as a reference point.
Once you know how you want your veneers to look, Dr. Simic prepares your teeth by shaving off a very thin layer of enamel from the front-facing portion. Next, she takes an impression of your teeth that she sends off to a lab, where your veneers will be custom-designed to fit perfectly in your smile. You’re given a set of temporary veneers to wear while you wait for your permanent ones to come back.
Once your permanent veneers are ready, you come back to the office, where Dr. Simic permanently bonds them to your teeth. You’ll leave the office with a beautiful new smile that you’ll be proud to share with the world.
