Veneers
Veneers FAQ’s
Are veneers right for me?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells designed to cover the front side of your teeth and enhance your natural smile. Each veneer is custom-made to fit your individual teeth to ensure flawless results. Then, an experienced cosmetic dentist at BENE Dental bonds the veneers to your current teeth. Veneers cover up imperfections like stains, cracks, holes, or misshapen teeth. In addition, they help reinforce weak teeth.
Although veneers can be made out of resin composite materials, porcelain is the most stain-resistant material. Porcelain also tends to match your natural enamel better. A skilled dental team member describes your choices and suggests the best type of veneers for you.
What should I expect if I decide to get veneers?
The process begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and determine the best type of veneers for your needs, after which you come back for a second appointment. At this appointment, one of the professional cosmetic dental experts takes off a minuscule amount of enamel from the surface of your existing teeth to shape them in preparation for the veneers. After your teeth have been prepared, your dental specialist makes an impression of your teeth so the dental lab can create custom veneers that are an exact fit for your mouth.
When the veneers arrive from the lab, you return to the office and have them custom-fitted to each of your teeth. Once your teeth are entirely prepared for the bonding process, the dental specialist applies a unique adhesive and light beam. This step helps the cement bond firmly to the porcelain. In no time your veneers are permanently in place, and you have a new and improved smile!
