Porcelain Dental Veneers in Plano, TX
Traditional porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates are ultra-thin, custom-made covers for the front of a tooth. Unlike a dental crown, a porcelain veneer does not cover the entire tooth. They are composed of porcelain or resin composite materials that match your natural teeth. The shells are bonded to the teeth and can change the color, size, form, and length of your teeth for a bright, natural-looking smile.
Dental veneers are an effective and affordable dental treatment that enhances the look of your teeth and gives you a smile with a natural appearance.
What Is Porcelain Veneer and How Do Dental Veneers Work?
A porcelain veneer is a thin sheet of porcelain that is shaped to look like a tooth. The thin shell covers discolored or misshapen teeth to create a uniform smile.
Traditional veneers cover the front of the natural tooth or teeth that are out of place, malformed, or have a discolored surface. Veneers can be placed on one tooth, several teeth, or an entire set of teeth. Veneers function by giving the impression of your ideal smile.
To provide a surface for composite veneers to cling to and not obstruct the patient’s bite, the dentist will remove a very thin layer of tooth enamel. Then, a mold of the tooth is made from putty. The mold will be sent to a dental laboratory and used to make the veneer. We have specialized technology to make the veneer impressions extremely accurate.
Each patient will experience the porcelain veneer procedure slightly differently. Generally, the process goes as follows:
- Diagnosing and planning
- Creating your unique veneers and tooth preparation
- Fitting temporary veneers
- Evaluating your permanent veneers’ appearance
- Placing and securing the veneer to the teeth long-term
- Visiting your cosmetic dentist regularly for checkups and follow-ups
