What are porcelain veneers?

Am I a candidate for dental veneers?

At Ascend Dental, we recommend veneers for patients with:

  • Staining of front teeth

  • Slightly misaligned teeth

  • Gaps between front teeth

  • Chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth in your smile

At Ascend Dental, we do not recommend veneer for patients with:

  • Unhealthy gums or teeth | Veneers do not treat gum disease or cavities and applying them on unhealthy gums or teeth can make the condition worse.

  • Signs of grinding and bruxism | Excessive grinding can put excess strain on the veneers. We will evaluate your bite prior to beginning the dental veneer process.

Dental Veneer Process

Initial digital impressions and x-rays are taken along with photographs. This allows you and your dentist to create a care plan that will guide the treatment from start to finish.

Within two visits, you can have a new beautiful smile. During the first visit, our dedicated team will prepare your teeth by removing a very small amount of tooth enamel. We then take digital impressions and send them to our amazing lab that will handcraft your veneers. We then place temporary veneers on your teeth until your final veneers are ready.

After our lab finishes your custom veneers, we ensure they fit properly and look exactly how you want. We then cement them properly with a strong dental cement.

How to care for dental veneers?

Dental veneers are an investment and require proper upkeep and maintenance. By practicing the following methods, you can extend the life our your new smile.

Great oral hygiene | Brushing twice and flossing once daily will keep you teeth and gums healthy, as well as the veneers. We recommend to all patients that they use a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. You should avoid charcoal toothpaste to avoid scratching your teeth and veneers.

Avoid nail biting and hard foods | Nail biting and eating hard foods can create excessive force on your front teeth causing dislodgment or chipping of the veneers.

Routine dental visits | Regular checkups are the best defense to developing oral health issues. We recommend you visit us for a dental cleaning at least every 6 months.

You can expect your dental veneers to last at least 10 years and with proper upkeep, possibly a lifetime!
