Application of Porcelain Dental Veneers:
Once applied on teeth, porcelain veneers are nearly invisible, as they provide the appearance of healthy, white tooth enamel. Since veneers are constructed from special stain-resistant materials, they are usually not prone to being discolored because of contact with tobacco products and dark-colored beverages like coffee, wine, and juice. When cared for properly, a set of veneers should last for about ten years. Our practice offers different types of veneers such as porcelain and composite veneers, as well as the Lumineers brand of veneers for your smile.
When applying porcelain, composite, or Lumineers brand of veneers, the first step to these dental procedures is to shave off a small amount of natural tooth enamel. This is done to make space for the veneers. Next, an etching solution is applied to the natural teeth. This roughens their outer surfaces and helps the veneers bond more easily. After the teeth have been prepped, the etching solution is washed off, and the teeth are fully dried. The veneers are then applied to the teeth and secured with a dental adhesive.
