How Porcelain Veneers Work Covering the Basics
Many people have misconceptions about porcelain veneers. Let's go over the basics of dental veneers so you understand how they work and why they're recommended.
A dental veneer is a thin porcelain shell that fits over the front of a tooth. Once it's bonded in place, the veneer masks the tooth's imperfections, hiding all sorts of cosmetic flaws from view.
Veneers are semi-translucent, which means light passes through them much like natural teeth. Even up close, only the most highly trained eye will be able to distinguish a veneer from your real teeth.
Dental veneers are crafted from a strong porcelain. The material is resistant to stains and able to withstand normal wear and tear, so you can eat your favorite foods with confidence.

View On GoogleProblems Veneers Can Treat
Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic solutions available today. Our dentists use dental veneers to treat several types of problems at our Merritt Island practice.
When a front tooth is chipped or cracked, it detracts from the rest of your smile. Veneers seamlessly hide these issues, restoring your overall appearance.
Intrinsic and extrinsic stains impact the look of an otherwise beautiful smile. Veneers can supplement whitening treatment; in some cases they surpassing the outcomes of bleaching.
Prominent spaces between the front teeth are a common source of self-consciousness. Placing just one or two veneers will close unwanted gaps and address any spacing issues.
Not all teeth are shaped the same. Differences in size or shape can make smiles appear lopsided. Dental veneers improve tooth symmetry and the overall balance of your smile.
Misaligned teeth usually require braces and other kinds of orthodontic treatment. If the misalignment is mainly cosmetic, veneers can provide instant orthodontic results.
Good Candidates for Porcelain Veneers
While versatile, veneers aren't for everyone. Here are some basic criteria that must be met to get veneers. Dr. Moffitt or Dr. Wilkhu will perform a full exam to assess your candidacy during your visit.
Issues with the Front Teeth
Porcelain veneers are designed to be bonded to the front teeth, which makes them ideal for the areas that show when you smile. If you are unhappy with flaws in your back teeth, we might recommend dental bonding.Good Overall Dental Health
Patients interested in veneers should be in good dental health. They should only be suffering from cosmetic flaws of the teeth. Any structural or gum problems will require restorative dentistry.Sufficient Tooth Enamel
A small amount of enamel (less than one millimeter) needs to be removed to place a veneer. Patients should have enough healthy enamel so that getting a veneer won't compromise a tooth's strength.Committed to Long-Term Care
To make sure your results last 15 years or longer, patients must commit to long-term aftercare. This includes avoiding tobacco products, practicing good oral hygiene, and ending bad habits that harm your teeth and porcelain.Contact Our Experienced Dentists About Dental Veneers
