What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of tooth-colored, medical-grade ceramic that are used to recreate the appearance of your teeth. They bond to the surface of your teeth, changing their size, shape, or color, resulting in an immediate smile transformation!

Practical Uses

Porcelain veneers can be used to improve:

• Chipped teeth
• Discoloration
• Stained teeth
• Misalignment
• Irregular shape
• Gaps between teeth

Advantages

This dental procedure has some key advantages:

• Provides a natural appearance
• Conservative approach to changing a tooth’s size/shape
• A non-surgical solution
• Stain resistant
• Gum tissues tolerate them well

Who typically gets Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are ideal for anyone with slight gaps in their teeth, or cracked, chipped and stained teeth. We have provided adults of all ages with veneers. Give us a call today to find out more.

The Process

First, we’ll set up a consultation, and Dr. Graham or Dr. McKinney will go over what you can expect in the process, from start to finish.

Next, we’ll get an impression of your teeth so that the custom-made veneers can fit perfectly. After we get the impression, your veneers will be created in the lab. Lastly, Dr. Graham or Dr. McKinney will bond the material to your tooth/teeth. The entire service can normally be completed in a few appointments.

Care for Your Porcelain Veneers

Immediately after veneers are placed, it is best to avoid foods or liquids that stain— coffee, red wine, etc., as these can color the veneers. Otherwise, your porcelain veneers do not require any special care. Simply continue to follow good hygiene habits—brush twice a day, floss once a day, and schedule your regular dental cleaning appointments.

There are many different methods of improving your smile, and porcelain veneers can quickly, and dramatically improve your appearance. Through high-quality cosmetic dentistry here at McKinney-Graham Dental Arts, we can improve the appearance of your smile for a look you will love.
