Porcelain Veneers in Irving, TX
Porcelain veneers are “new fronts” for your teeth. Some preparation of the teeth is usually necessary, and an impression is made. Our lab uses information provided by our doctors to design porcelain facings that will be bonded to your teeth. It takes the lab about two weeks to do their work. Until the porcelain ones are ready, you will have temporary veneers made by our doctors to match your desired new smile. At a second visit, the porcelain veneers are tried on for your approval and then bonded in place.
Porcelain veneers are used to make your teeth longer, whiter and/or straighter. Porcelain veneers can restore worn edges on teeth to create a more youthful appearance. Overlapped and crooked teeth can have “instant orthodontics” with porcelain veneers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to expect after porcelain veneers?
After receiving porcelain veneers, you may experience temporary tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, which should gradually diminish as your teeth acclimate to the veneers. Depending on the extent of your treatment, you might also notice minor adjustments in your bite.
How long will porcelain veneers last?
With care, your porcelain veneers should last you 15 years or longer. Even better, it’s strong enough that you rarely have to worry about damage to it. One more thing to consider with porcelain veneers is your habits. If you have daily behaviors that stain your teeth, porcelain is highly stain-resistant.
Will porcelain veneers impact my diet?
Porcelain veneers offer the advantage of not requiring dietary modifications, unlike braces. Just like with natural teeth, it’s important to refrain from chewing on hard non-food objects or ice, even though the occurrence of cracks or chips in veneers is extremely rare.
