What Are Dental Veneers?
A veneer is a thin, custom-made shell that’s usually made of porcelain and bonded to the front of a tooth. Porcelain veneers resist staining and reflect light much like natural enamel. Composite veneers are made from tooth-colored composite resin. They often cost less and can sometimes be placed in one visit. However, porcelain usually lasts longer and holds its color better. Some patients may be candidates for no-prep or minimally invasive veneer placement, which requires little to no tooth preparation.
What Veneers Can Improve
Veneers can improve chipped, gapped, discolored, misshapen, undersized, or slightly misaligned teeth. They work especially well when the natural tooth structure is healthy but you’d like to change the tooth’s shape, size, color, or alignment. During your initial consultation, we’ll examine your teeth and gums and discuss whether veneers or another cosmetic dentistry option may be a better fit.
The Process, Start to Finish
Getting porcelain veneers typically takes two visits. First, your dentist may take X-rays, discuss the shape and shade, and remove a small amount of enamel so each veneer sits naturally. We’ll take impressions for the dental lab, and you’ll wear temporary veneers while your permanent set is made. At the second visit, we’ll check the fit and color before bonding and polishing the veneers into place.
Durability and Upkeep
With good oral hygiene, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Brush and floss daily, keep up with regular dental care, and avoid biting hard objects that could chip them. If you grind your teeth, your dentist may recommend a nightguard to protect your veneers and natural teeth.
Common Questions
What are dental veneers?
They’re thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to improve color, shape, or minor misalignment without covering the entire tooth like a dental crown.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years and sometimes longer before they need to be replaced.
How much do veneers cost in Katy, TX?
The cost depends on how many teeth you’re treating and the cosmetic improvements you’d like to make. We’ll provide exact pricing after your initial consultation.
How many visits does the process take?
Porcelain veneers usually take two visits: one to prepare your teeth and take impressions, and another to bond your final veneers in place.
What should I look for in a cosmetic dentist?
Look for a cosmetic dentist who considers the shape, shade, bite, and lip line so your veneers complement your entire smile, not just the individual teeth being treated.
