Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic restoration because they conceal so many general flaws, including:
- Short and worn teeth
- Slight tooth misalignment
- Gummy smiles
- Tooth discoloration
- Shape abnormalities
However, your dentist must evaluate your case to ensure dental veneers are a suitable option and will help you achieve your smile goals.
How Porcelain Veneers in Randolph, NJ, Work
If you’re a candidate for porcelain veneers, your dentist takes impressions of the teeth you’d like to treat. We then use the impressions to fabricate your dental veneers.
Before placing these veneers, the dentist must remove a small amount of your enamel to ensure a natural-looking, non-bulky result. Enamel removal means you must consider your veneers permanent. If one is lost or damaged, it must be replaced to protect the etched tooth beneath.
Your dentist makes the final adjustment before cementing the veneers to the fronts of your teeth.
After placement, it’s important to brush and floss at least three times a day and to continue visiting your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings.
