Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers hide tooth flaws and enhance smile aesthetics. Your cosmetic dentist in Garland, TX, can assess your smile to determine whether veneers are right for you.

A Suitable Candidate for Porcelain Veneers

It is difficult to assess candidacy without a consultation with our cosmetic dentist. This appointment includes a thorough exam, especially if you are a new patient. If veneers are not suitable for your cosmetic issues, the dentist will explain why and discuss alternative treatments.

Dental Veneer Process

If veneers are suitable for your smile goals, we take impressions after treating the teeth you’d like to alter. Treatment includes removing a bit of enamel to ensure a natural-looking finish—flush and non-bulky.

A lab creates your veneers based on our specifications, including the size, shape, and color. After making the final adjustment, we place your veneers in our dental office.

Enamel removal means you must consider your veneers permanent. If you lose or damage one, it must be replaced.

What Dental Veneers Can Conceal

Veneers can hide many smile flaws, including gummy smiles, short teeth, slightly crooked teeth, abnormally shaped teeth, small gaps, discoloration, and general flaws. Your dentist will tell you what to expect.

Dental Veneer Care

For veneers, it’s essential to incorporate them into your oral hygiene routine—brush, floss, and visit your Garland dentist every six months for checkups.

As with your unrestored teeth, never use your porcelain veneers as tools to open bottles or packages.

Exploring Your Options

If veneers are not suitable for your aesthetic issues, your dentist may recommend alternatives, including cosmetic dental crowns or dental bonding,
