Custom Enhancement
What Are Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin. They're custom-made to fit over the front of your teeth. Veneers can improve the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth. You can choose between porcelain veneers, which are more stain-resistant, or composite resin veneers, which are less expensive.
Two Visits to Better Teeth
What is the veneer procedure like?
Getting veneers usually requires two visits to our office. During the first visit, we prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. We then take impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a lab to create your custom veneers. On your second visit, we check the fit and color of your veneers. Then, we permanently bond them to your teeth.
Fixing Dental Imperfections
What conditions do veneers address?
Veneers can address many cosmetic dental issues. They can cover stained teeth that don't respond to bleaching, hide chips or cracks, make slightly crooked teeth look straight, and even close small gaps between teeth.
Eyes Front
What areas of the mouth can veneers address?
Veneers are typically used on the front teeth, which show when you smile. This usually includes the top eight teeth and sometimes the bottom eight teeth. Veneers aren't used on back teeth because these teeth need to withstand stronger chewing forces.
Brighter and Whiter Smiles
What are the benefits of veneers?
Veneers offer many benefits. They look very natural, and porcelain veneers resist stains well. The procedure is less invasive than crowns. Veneers can dramatically improve your smile in just two visits, and they're also long-lasting with proper care.
Something to Build on
Am I a candidate for veneers?
Good candidates for veneers have healthy teeth and gums. You should have good oral hygiene habits. Veneers aren't right for people who often grind or clench their teeth (bruxism). They're also not suitable if you have weak teeth due to decay or large fillings. During your consultation for dental veneers Madison dentists at Clifty Family Dental will assess if this is the best option for you, or if another cosmetic dentistry treatment would be more beneficial to achieving your perfect smile.
Looking Forward
Veneer Recovery
There's very little recovery time needed after getting veneers. Your teeth might feel sensitive to hot and cold for a few days, but you can return to your normal activities right away. We recommend avoiding very hard or sticky foods for the first few days.
Long-Lasting Improvement
DentalVeneers Results
You'll see the full results of your veneers immediately after they're placed. With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer. To maintain your results, brush and floss regularly. Avoid habits like chewing on ice or using your teeth to open packages.
