Dr. Karen Kang and her team of dental experts can provide you with the veneers you need to repair those cosmetic concerns and leave you with the bright, perfect smile you deserve.
What Are Porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin coverings that are placed on the teeth to cover dental imperfections. Veneers are custom-crafted to ensure that they fit perfectly on your teeth, providing a thin, ceramic layer of protection and aesthetic improvement that can instantly transform your smile. Because they are bonded to your teeth’s outer surface, you don’t have to worry about misplacing them. They are also one of the least invasive dental repair options, since there is minimal impact to your natural teeth. At Ebenezer Dental, we custom-design your porcelain veneers to ensure a perfect fit and look that is sure to enhance your smile.
Porcelain Veneers Pros and Cons
Like most other dental procedures, there are both pros and cons when considering porcelain veneers. It is important to understand these porcelain veneers pros and cons before making any dental care decision. Dr. Karen Kang will consult with you to help you make the right choice for your dental needs.
Porcelain Veneers Pros
- Porcelain veneers are both strong and durable
- Your veneers will have a natural appearance, which will blend in perfectly with your natural teeth
- The veneer process is minimally invasive. Unlike crowns and some other procedures, the placement of porcelain veneers requires the removal of only a thin layer of tooth enamel
- Porcelain veneers are resistant to most staining
- The veneer procedure involves very little discomfort
- Veneers instantly brighten your smile, bringing renewed self-confidence
Porcelain Veneers Cons
- Porcelain veneers may not work for every patient
- Your teeth and gums need to be healthy to make you a viable veneer candidate
- Teeth-grinders may not be able to use veneers, since that can sometimes damage the ceramic
- The removal of enamel is permanent
- Veneers sometimes need to be replaced, since they can sometimes lose their bond over time
How Long Do Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers are a long-lasting solution for many dental ills, but there is no guarantee that they will last forever. Patients sometimes need to replace their veneers, or have them rebounded if they come loose. In addition, some patients may damage the ceramic by grinding or clenching their teeth, or by biting hard substances. With proper care, however, your porcelain veneers can last for a decade or more.
Why Porcelain Veneers from Ebenezer Dental?
Dr. Karen Kang is a highly-trained and respected prosthodontist with years of experience providing for the needs of her dental patients. She works diligently to ensure that your veneer procedure is personalized to meet your unique needs. The process begins with a consultation, during which she’ll discuss your cosmetic smile enhancement options. Impressions will be made of your teeth, and a blueprint will be constructed to demonstrate your perfect smile. That blueprint is used to create the veneers.
From there, your teeth will be properly prepared by removing a small portion of the tooth enamel – just enough to accommodate the thin ceramic veneer without changing the size or shape of your tooth structure. That helps to prepare the teeth for bonding and eliminates the potential for dramatically altering the structure of your smile. When that is done, she will bond the veneers to your teeth and tint them to ensure that they match the surrounding areas.
