Porcelain Veneers
in Hollywood, Hallandale, Ojus, North Miami, and Sunny Isles

Veneers are very common in modern cosmetic dentistry. This is due to their versatility and durability. Porcelain veneers are thin but very strong coverings that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth and literally transform them. The coatings are made of durable medical-grade porcelain. The thickness of each coating is from 0.3 to 0.5 mm. Veneers are completely indistinguishable from healthy white enamel in appearance, color, and texture. They are placed in such a way that they cover not only the front of the tooth but also its lower edge. So, it will be completely invisible from the outside that the dentist has worked on your teeth.

Veneers are porcelain plates that are colored to match the natural tone of your enamel. They are most often used on the front teeth of the upper jaw. This area is most noticeable when someone smiles or speaks.

Veneers can be used in several instances:

• to restore cracked teeth;
• for permanent darkening of the enamel;
• to correct the shape of teeth;
• to close gaps between teeth;
• to conceal non-carious defects;
• to improve the aesthetics of low or uneven gum lines.

This type of neuroprosthetics can be combined with other dental procedures, including crowns, bridges, and teeth whitening.

The veneer procedure involves several visits. At the first consultation, the dentist will perform an external oral examination and take impressions and X-rays of your teeth.

At the next appointment, the dentist will prepare your teeth for veneers by removing a small amount of enamel from the surface of each tooth that will be covered. This will help the porcelain plates fit properly and firmly. However, this means that veneer placement is irreversible. While the structures are fabricated in the lab, the dentist may secure temporary plates to protect the tooth surface from external influences.

At the last visit, the dentist will adjust the fabricated plates. The veneers are bonded to the teeth using light-curing cement. Their color can be adjusted to make the teeth look natural.

The porcelain veneer process typically involves 3-4 visits to our clinic. During your initial consultation, a specialist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and create a customized treatment plan to meet your unique needs.

The process of porcelain veneer placement typically involves the following steps:

• Our cosmetic dentist will remove a tiny bit of enamel from the front of your teeth to create space for the veneers.
• Impressions: Our dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create personalized veneers that fit your particular smile.
• Temporary veneers: While your veneers are being made in the lab, our dentist will apply temporary veneers to your teeth.
• Bonding: Using an adhesive, our dentist will gently attach your bespoke veneers to the front of your teeth when they are ready.
• Last details: after making any required corrections to guarantee your veneers fit comfortably and appear natural, our dentist will polish and buff them to give them a natural sheen.

Caring for your teeth after veneers is very simple and follows the usual rules of hygiene:

1. Use low-abrasive toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash.
2. Do not chew on hard foods,
3. Do not eat cold food immediately after hot food, and vice versa.

By following these simple rules and regular visits to the dentist, your porcelain veneers will last at least 10 years. The dentist may be able to give you additional care recommendations at the end of the procedure, depending on the individual characteristics of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers can endure for 15 to 20 years if properly maintained. Their lifespan will be impacted by elements like general dental health, veneer quality, and oral hygiene. Avoid harsh items, get regular dental examinations, and brush and floss frequently to ensure longevity.
