Porcelain Veneers

Crafting Your Perfect Smile

If you are unhappy with the overall shape and appearance of certain teeth, porcelain veneers may be a great option for you. Porcelain veneers are designed to blend in with your smile, imitating your natural teeth. They are specially crafted to not only be comfortable, but also smooth over any imperfections in your smile. Porcelain veneers are sure to boost your self-esteem and keep you smiling with improved overall well-being!

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells bonded to the surface of the teeth. They mask and correct imperfections, giving your smile a seamless appearance. Our team creates veneers using a combination of expertise and artistry. They are custom-made from a long-lasting material that is identical to tooth enamel. After creation, your dentist will customize the fit for each tooth receiving a veneer, ensuring maximum comfort and a natural appearance. The outcome is a well-blended smile that drastically changes the way your bite looks and feels.

Benefits Of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers offer many benefits! Here are some of the benefits our patients say they enjoy the most:

  • Natural-looking — Carefully crafted to blend in with your natural smile, veneers are an undetectable solution for a beautiful smile.

  • Durable — Porcelain veneers are durable enough to withstand day-to-day chewing and speaking. We do recommend avoiding chewing hard things like ice in order to preserve their longevity.

  • Long-lasting — By taking proper care of them, they can last anywhere from ten to fifteen years.

  • Stain-resistant — Porcelain veneers are non-porous, making them highly resistant to stains.

  • Beautiful smile — They correct imperfections such as chips, gaps and discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our friendly team in Eastern North Carolina is here to answer all of your questions about porcelain veneers. If we miss anything, please contact us! We are here to support you.

Veneers can withstand the pressure of most chewing, though we do recommend avoiding anything hard such as ice or candy. Otherwise, veneers are more than up for the task of withstanding day-to-day chewing, drinking and speaking.

It’s important to brush twice per day and floss at least once. Always use a soft toothbrush and do not use abrasive toothpaste. Abrasive toothpaste can scratch the surface of your veneers, making them prone to staining. If you grind your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend wearing a nightguard.

To ensure your veneers last a long time, we recommend avoiding chewing hard things such as candy or ice. While highly stain-resistant, frequent consumption of dark liquids such as coffee or red wine can darken and discolor them over time.

Our team understands that no matter how well you take care of your veneers, sometimes things just happen! Regardless, we are here to support you. Should your veneers become chipped, broken, miscolored or something else, we encourage you to contact our office and explain what’s going on and our expert team. They will recommend the best next steps to get you back to your perfect smile.

Not at all! Your comfort is our top priority. During the procedure, your dentist will ensure you are numb and can’t feel a thing. Following the procedure, it’s common to feel some minor soreness as your body adjusts, but this is typically controlled using over-the-counter pain medication.
