Flawless Teeth With Custom Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are an excellent solution for addressing issues like tooth crowding, chips, wear, or stains. These thin shells are placed over the front surface of your teeth, effectively hiding imperfections and creating a smooth, uniform appearance.
Customizable to match the color of your natural teeth, veneers are applied with minimal discomfort. Once in place, they are durable and can last for several years before needing any repair or replacement.
At Smiland Dental Fort Lauderdale , we take a personalized approach to veneers, ensuring they meet your specific needs. The process involves two appointments: the first to take impressions of your teeth and the second for the application of your custom veneers.
How Do Dental Veneers Work?
Dental veneers are thin shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are simple to apply, requiring minimal preparation and securing in place with a strong dental adhesive. In some cases, a small amount of enamel may be removed to ensure a better fit. Once placed, veneers can effectively correct misalignment and improve tooth spacing, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.
What Types of Dental Veneers Are Available?
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options to help you improve your smile.
Composite Veneers
Composite veneers are made in-office using tooth-colored resin and applied directly to the teeth. They are often more affordable and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, making them an excellent option for addressing various cosmetic concerns.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted from porcelain to perfectly fit your teeth. Typically made in a lab and sent to our office, we will apply them and ensure a precise fit. Known for their durability, porcelain veneers tend to last longer due to the strength of the material. They also provide a more natural appearance and can address more significant cosmetic issues, such as deeply stained or misaligned teeth.
How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
Our dentist in Fort Lauderdale are crafted from high-quality materials built for long-lasting durability. On average, they last between 10 to 15 years, but with excellent dental care, they can last over 20 years. If your veneers ever need repair or replacement, don't hesitate to contact our dental office, and we'll help restore your smile.
Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers can be a great option for many patients, but they may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates typically have healthy teeth and gums but want to address cosmetic concerns like discoloration, minor misalignment, or gaps. Veneers may not be recommended for those with significant tooth decay or gum disease, and individuals who grind their teeth may need to wear a nightguard to protect their veneers. During your consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and determine if veneers are the right choice for you.
