What Is A Porcelain Veneer?
Think of a porcelain veneer as a contact lens for your teeth! These ultra-thin porcelain shells—about 0.3mm thick, similar to a business card—are carefully bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their shape, color, size, and overall symmetry. Porcelain is the material of choice because it beautifully replicates the natural translucency and shine of real enamel. Whether you're looking to refine your smile or completely transform it, veneers offer a seamless, radiant upgrade!
Use Of Advanced Technology
Today’s technology has removed the drawbacks of veneers from the past. You might remember old veneers that used to look like chiclets due to the use of materials like opaque, monochromatic, or porcelain crowns mixed with metal. Modern advancements have enhanced these, making them:
- Stronger
- More translucent, closely resembling natural teeth
- Ultra-thin
- The ideal choice for achieving a beautiful, natural-looking smile!
Our Porcelain Veneer Process
At Dennis Dental Care, we’ve transformed thousands of smiles and placed tens of thousands of veneers, blending science, skill, and artistry to create perfect, natural-looking smiles. Our step-by-step veneer process in Ellet, OH, ensures stunning, long-lasting results tailored to you.
- Consultation & Personalized Planning: Your journey to a flawless smile begins with a personalized consultation. During this appointment, we’ll discuss your goals, take digital images of your teeth, and show you examples of our own cosmetic dentistry work. Whether you need just a few veneers or a full-mouth transformation, we take the time to understand your unique vision.
- Designing YourSmile Blueprint: Once we finalize your treatment plan, we take impressions (models) of your teeth, which are sent to a highly skilled Master Ceramist. Using a cutting-edge chewing simulator, our ceramist meticulously crafts a "wax-up" model of your veneers. This serves as the blueprint for your new smile.
- Preparation & Temporary Veneers: Next, we begin the transformation process. Our cosmetic dentists will beautify your teeth to create an ideal veneer surface. Using the wax-up model as a guide, we fabricate custom temporary veneers, allowing you to "test drive" your new smile for about three weeks. During this phase, you’ll be able to provide feedback, ensuring your final veneers perfectly match your aesthetic preferences and functional needs.
- Veneer Placement: We’ll remove your temporary veneers and try handcrafted porcelain veneers to ensure a flawless fit. Once you’re delighted, we’ll permanently bond them in place, creating a naturally radiant and balanced smile. We may also take impressions for a custom night guard to protect your new veneers.
With your new veneers, you’ll enjoy an instantly enhanced, confident smile that looks and feels completely natural. At Dennis Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves a smile that reflects their inner confidence and beauty.
