What are veneers?

Veneers are a cosmetic dentistry service that can cover up imperfections in your smile using thin covers. They completely hide the visible portion of your front teeth. Each set of veneers is crafted to match the unique coloration and size of your natural teeth. Once applied, they blend in seamlessly. 

Depending on your dental needs, you can have dental veneers placed either on the upper or lower arch. At Conshohocken Dental Care, the team can discuss your smile goals to help you determine the best placement for your veneers. 

What kinds of cosmetic issues can veneers improve?

Veneers are an excellent treatment that can address several cosmetic issues at once. This makes dental veneers a great investment compared to having many different treatments to correct cosmetic concerns. 

Some of the cosmetic issues that veneers can improve include:

• Fractured or chipped teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Discoloration that doesn’t help with teeth whitening
• Abnormally sized or shaped teeth
• Minor misalignment

Dental veneers allow the dentists at Conshohocken Dental Care to design a smile that balances the rest of your facial features. 

What is the process for getting veneers?

The process for getting veneers requires several trips to the Conshohocken Dental Care office, but the end result is worth the wait. During your consultation, the team discusses your cosmetic concerns to develop a customized plan. They then take digital images to view the structure of your teeth and bone tissue to ensure that you don’t have any oral health issues prior to treatment with veneers. 

On the day of your procedure, your dentist administers numbing medication to help you relax during the process. They start by removing a small amount of natural tooth enamel to make room for your new veneers. Next, they take a set of impressions to give the dental lab the information needed to craft your veneers. 

As you wait for your permanent veneers to arrive from the dental lab, your dentist places temporary veneers to protect your teeth. You return to the office to have your permanent veneers placed. Your dentist ensures you’re satisfied with the results before cementing them securely into place. Once cemented, you’re ready to show off your new smile to the world.
