What Does the Porcelain Veneer Treatment Process Involve?
The process begins with an initial consultation where you will meet with Dr. Bell to discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your oral health. During this appointment, Dr. Bell will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to ensure that porcelain veneers are the right solution for your needs. This is also the time to discuss any concerns or preferences you may have regarding the shape, size, or color of the veneers.
Dr. Bell will take time to explain all available smile enhancement options, which may include other cosmetic dentistry treatments like teeth whitening, crowns, or dental bonding, depending on your individual case. After understanding your goals and reviewing your dental health, Dr. Bell will outline a personalized treatment plan, including the number of veneers needed and the expected timeline for completion.
After the veneers have been created, Dr. Bell will make sure they fit properly and match the color of the surrounding teeth. Once they are secured to the teeth, he will give them a final polish and you will be ready to show off your brand-new smile!
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers are designed to be a long-term cosmetic solution. These restorations typically last a minimum of 10-15 years, and many patients with porcelain veneers are still reaping the benefits after 20 or even 30 years. With this in mind, it is very important to take proper care of the veneers to maintain your new smile for as long as possible. Patients should follow good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and attending dental checkups as recommended. Avoiding habits such as biting hard objects or using teeth as tools can also help prevent damage to the veneers. With the right care, your porcelain veneers should keep you smiling confidently long into the future.
