What are veneers?

Veneers at Seattle Dentists are porcelain, tooth-colored shells that bond to the front surfaces of imperfect teeth. They optimize the appearance of your teeth by crafting a beautiful smile you are proud to show off. Porcelain veneers are ideal options for creating an aesthetically pleasing smile without pain or downtime. They dramatically improve the look of your smile.

Which benefits do veneers offer?

Dental veneers at Seattle Dentists offer various benefits, including teeth that are:

• Straighter
• Less gapped
• Even-shaped
• Whiter
• Brighter
• Beautiful
• Stronger
• Long-lasting

Veneers look identical to natural, aesthetically pleasing teeth. They’re strong, long-lasting, and maximize the appearance of teeth containing minor imperfections. Examples include teeth that are decaying, cracked, misshapen, discolored, gapped, too small, or have other issues. 

Are porcelain veneers right for me?

Porcelain veneers are beneficial for patients with minor tooth damage. To determine if you’re a candidate for this treatment, your dentist examines your gums and teeth, takes X-rays if needed, and inquires about your oral health history and preferences. They ask about your desired results before customizing an individualized treatment plan.

You might be a candidate for dentures, crowns, bridges, or dental implants if you have more severe damage. Minor damage, discoloring, or decay may also warrant dental bonding, fillings, inlays, onlays, or teeth whitening, depending on the type of dental flaws you have and their severity. 

What happens when receiving veneers?

Your dentist scans your mouth to create custom-fitted veneers. Before bonding the veneers to the front and side surfaces of your natural teeth, they remove some of the enamel. Your dentist ensures the veneers fit properly before completing your treatment. Each procedure is simple, quick, and painless, and there’s no downtime afterward. 

What can I expect after veneer placement?

When cared for properly, veneers may last 15-20 years or longer. Avoid chewing on ice or other hard objects, brush your teeth after eating, floss daily, and see your dentist at least every six months for dental exams and cleanings. Call Seattle Dentists if a veneer gets damaged.
