Teeth that are badly stained, shaped, or crooked may be improved by a veneer placed on the surface of the affected teeth. Dental veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. We recommend porcelain veneers for patients in our Arlington, TX office who want to address cosmetic dental problems.
Dental veneers can address chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced, or crooked teeth. Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding and highly resist permanent staining from coffee, tea, or cigarette smoking.
Porcelain Veneers in Arlington, TX
Veneers are usually made by a dental lab technician working from a model provided by your dentist. Dental veneers are usually irreversible because removing a small amount of enamel from your teeth is necessary to accommodate the shell.
Porcelain veneers can mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline, by an injury, or as a result of a root-canal procedure, and are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. Patients with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn may consider porcelain veneers.
Typically, veneers entail at least three appointments: diagnosis and treatment planning, preparation and impression, and bonding.
