About Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and transform your smile. They can often be alternatives to bondings and sometimes to crowns.
As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.

What Should I Expect After Porcelain Veneers Are Installed?
Since getting porcelain veneers typically does not require anesthesia, you should be able to resume your daily tasks after your appointment. You might experience sensitivity to hot and cold food for a few days, but that should subside naturally. Veneers should be cared for like your natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing. While porcelain veneers are stain-resistant compared to the natural enamel, you should still avoid staining drinks and food to keep your smile white. To prevent harming your veneers, you shouldn't chew on hard objects, such as your fingernails or ice. You should continue to go to dental examinations and cleanings at Gardens Cosmetic and Family Dentistry so we can track the condition of your porcelain veneers, teeth, gums, and overall oral health. Dr. Ryan Martz or a team member will let you know if your veneers need to be replaced or repaired.
