Transform Your Smile with Veneers
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells that Dr. Trogan places over the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. Crafted from porcelain, a highly stain-resistant material that mimics the natural look of teeth, veneers offer a permanent solution to cosmetic dental concerns. Dr. Trogan customizes each veneer to fit the individual tooth, bonding them securely in place to conceal imperfections and protect your teeth from further damage.
Porcelain veneers are among the most conservative restorative options. Unlike crowns, which cover an entire tooth, veneers require minimal enamel removal, preserving most of your natural tooth structure. They are designed to alter the color and shape of your teeth, providing a fresh, natural-looking smile without replacing the whole tooth. The veneer process typically involves two appointments: during the first visit, the tooth is prepared, and a couple of weeks later, the veneer is permanently bonded to the tooth. This minimally invasive approach makes veneers a valuable option in cosmetic dentistry.
What Can Veneers Fix?
- Broken, chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Misalignment issues
- Discoloration or staining
- Gaps between teeth
What Can I Expect During the Veneers Process?
Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Trogan, where you'll discuss your aesthetic goals. Together, you'll choose the ideal size, shape, and color for your veneers to perfectly complement your smile. Once your treatment plan is finalized, a small amount of enamel will be removed from the surface of your teeth to create space for the veneers. After your teeth are prepared, an impression is taken and sent to a lab, where your custom veneers are crafted.
When your veneers are ready, you'll return to the practice, where Dr. Trogan will carefully fit each veneer to your teeth. Using a special dental cement, the veneers are securely bonded, ensuring a lasting, natural appearance. After the bonding process is complete, you'll walk out with a beautifully enhanced smile.
How long do veneers last?
Your veneers can last 10-15 years and maybe even longer when you practice excellent oral hygiene habits, which include brushing at least twice daily and flossing at least once a day. It’s also important to keep your routine visits at Signature Smile General & Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Trogan can monitor the condition of your veneers, making sure they stay strong and stable.
