What Are Porcelain Veneers?

One quick way to refresh your smile and conceal chipped, crooked, decayed, or stained teeth is by having porcelain veneers placed. At Savannah Smiles Dental, porcelain veneers are thin covers made with high-quality, tooth-colored material, which can be secured to the front of your teeth to enhance the overall look of your smile. Offering customized veneers and minimal prep, Dr. Cassandra Montemayor can aid in improving the color, size, shape, or length of your teeth. Schedule a consultation at our Schertz, TX office to find out more about porcelain veneers and decide if they’re right for your needs.

Am I a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers can be used to rapidly cover chips and stains on your teeth, improve misaligned or worn down teeth, and fix teeth that are abnormally shaped or spaced. At Savannah Smiles Dental, your porcelain veneers will be custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth for an appealing and natural look. In your consultation, Dr. Montemayor will listen to your goals and concerns, so she can personalize your treatment. She may also see if you’re a good candidate for porcelain veneers by assessing your overall oral health. You shouldn’t have symptoms of gum disease or habitually clench your jaw and grind your teeth.

What Can I Expect from Porcelain Veneers?

As soon as you have developed your personalized treatment plan with Dr. Montemayor, she will take physical or digital dental impressions. Your cosmetic veneers might be produced in our office while you wait, or your impressions can be sent to a dental lab where your veneers will be made out of high-quality porcelain. As soon as your veneers are prepared, she will carefully take off a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth. This both allows space for the veneers and enhances the bond for a more natural outcome that lasts longer. When your porcelain veneers are bonded, Dr. Montemayor can make small adjustments so that they fit comfortably.
