The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Written By West Georgia Family Dentistry on August 6, 2022

Porcelain dental veneers are very thin shells that are placed on the front of one or more teeth to improve their appearance. Our dentists may recommend porcelain veneers if your teeth are damaged or discolored due to illness, decay, side effects of medication, or lifestyle. 

If you’re looking for a dentist in Douglasville, GA or Bremen, GA because you are dissatisfied with the size or appearance of your teeth, contact us at West Georgia Family Dentistry today.

Who Needs Porcelain Veneers? 

We recommend that our patients consider porcelain veneers over other cosmetic dentistry procedures if the surface of the tooth or teeth is discolored, damaged, misshapen, or otherwise displeasing in appearance to the patient. Porcelain veneers can last for more than a decade when properly cared for, so they are considered a semi-permanent investment in the health and appearance of your teeth. 

Porcelain veneers are also much more natural looking than other options, as they mimic the color and appearance of natural teeth, and also have the same light-reflecting properties.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are incredibly natural looking, and they can be fabricated to match the color of surrounding teeth, or custom-colored to make yellowed or darkened teeth appear whiter. They are stain-resistant, as well, so your teeth will remain the same color forever. Porcelain veneers are excellent for improving the appearance of broken or chipped teeth, misshapen teeth, and gaps between teeth. 

What to Expect During Veneer Placement

One of our dentists will first take x-rays of your teeth to evaluate the health of your teeth and confirm that you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers. We will then trim down about a half millimeter of your tooth to make room for the veneers. After that, we will take a mold or dental impression of your teeth, which will be used by our dental lab to create the veneers. 

Once your porcelain veneers are created, we will confirm that the fit, shape, and color of the veneers are perfect. We will then do a complete teeth cleaning and use dental cement to bond the veneers to the front of each tooth.
