How Do Dental Veneers Work?
Quite simply, dental veneers work by completely covering up your smile imperfections. They’re applied to the front surface of the teeth that show when you smile, instantly enhancing the size, shape, color and overall appearance of teeth. Because they are only used for making cosmetic improvements to a smile, dental veneers should not be applied to teeth that are weak or decayed.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Veneers?
For patients reluctant to show their imperfect smiles, there are numerous advantages to choosing cosmetic dentistry -- and porcelain veneers offer by far the most dramatic transformation available with a single treatment. Some of the most common benefits associated with porcelain veneers include:
- Fast, minimally-invasive procedure
- Veneers offer transformative smile results
- Porcelain is durable and long-lasting
- Dental veneers correct a number of imperfections all at once
- Porcelain a highly stain-resistant material, so your veneers stay white from day one
- Cared for properly, dental veneers can last for more than a decade
Are Dental Veneers Painful?
Many patients are fearful of one thing at the dentist -- discomfort. Fortunately, the procedure for dental veneers is minimally invasive, and local anesthesia is available every step of the way to ensure you feel no discomfort at the treatment site. Williamsburg Dental also offers nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation if you’d like a little extra comfort throughout your procedure for dental veneers. So to answer the question, are dental veneers painful? No. In fact, with current offerings in modern dentistry, chances are good you’ll never feel discomfort at the dentist again.
What’s the Procedure for Porcelain Veneers?
Once you’ve decided that porcelain veneers are the transformation your smile needs, you’ll be pleased to know the treatment is completed in just two visits to Williamsburg Dental. The first appointment is for discussing your smile goals and preparing your teeth to receive the veneers (a process that involves removing a bit of the tooth enamel to make room for the veneers). We’ll send an impression of your teeth along with our notes on your smile to our trusted lab, where your veneers will be created just for you. Once they’re ready, you’ll come back to our dental office for their final placement.
