What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures. Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can be used to improve the appearance of your smile by masking stains, correcting chips or cracks, and even closing gaps between teeth. Veneers are made from high-quality porcelain that is strong and durable, making them a long-lasting solution for improving your smile. In addition, porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and natural looking, so they can help you achieve a beautiful, radiant smile that you can feel confident about. Whether you're looking to correct minor imperfections or achieve a major smile makeover, porcelain veneers in the Hilton Head and Bluffton areas at Old Moreland Dental may be the right option for you.

What Should I Expect From My Porcelain Veneer Procedure in Hilton Head & Bluffton?

  • First, your dentist will prepare your teeth for the veneers. This usually involves removing a thin layer of enamel from your teeth so that the veneers will fit snugly. In some cases, no tooth reduction is needed and a no-prep veneer may be indicated.
  • Next, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth so that the veneers can be custom-made to fit your mouth.
  • Once the veneers are ready, your dentist will bond them to your teeth. This usually involves using a special adhesive and curing the adhesive with a light.
  • Finally, your dentist will check your bite and make any necessary adjustments.

Porcelain Veneers FAQ

How many veneers will I require?

If you're wondering how many veneers you may need, the answer is that it depends on your individual case.

How to care for veneers?

There are several things you can do to take care of your veneers and keep them looking their best. Brush twice a day for two minutes, floss daily, and wear a bite guard at night. It is best to avoid eating extremely hard foods like nuts.

Who may not be a good candidate for porcelain veneers?

If your teeth are severely decayed, veneers may not be the best option for you. Before proceeding, discuss with your dentist about removing the decay. If you grind your teeth, this might be an issue, but we may recommend a solution to protect your veneers from damage, such as a mouth night guard.
