Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a fantastic solution for improving the appearance of your teeth. These thin, custom-made shells cover the front surface of your teeth to address issues such as discoloration, wear, or irregular shape. At Quil Ceda Happy Dental, we specialize in helping patients achieve their ideal smile with dental veneers. Our Marysville WA dentist, Dr. John Park offers expert guidance and exceptional care to ensure your veneers meet your aesthetic goals.
Types of Veneers
There are two primary types of dental veneers commonly used to enhance your smile:
1. Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers are renowned for their durability and resistance to stains. The material's properties help create a very natural tooth look, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers are fabricated in a laboratory to ensure a precise fit and superior aesthetics.
2. Composite Resin Veneers: Unlike porcelain veneers, composite resin veneers are applied directly to your teeth. While they are not as durable or stain-resistant as porcelain veneers, they offer a more affordable option with a shorter lifespan. Composite veneers are applied in a single visit, making them a quicker alternative for smile improvements.
When to Consider Dental Veneers
You might consider dental veneers if you have any of the following concerns:
- Stained or Discolored Teeth: Veneers can cover discoloration and give your teeth a bright, uniform appearance.
- Crooked or Misshapen Teeth: Veneers can improve the shape and alignment of your teeth, providing a more symmetrical smile.
- Spaces Between Teeth: Veneers can close gaps between your teeth, creating a more cohesive look.
- Broken or Chipped Teeth: Veneers can repair and cover damaged teeth, restoring their function and appearance.
How It's Done
The process of getting dental veneers typically involves two visits to our Marysville WA dentist office. Here’s what you can expect:
1. First Visit:
- Preparation: Your teeth are prepared for veneers by trimming a small portion of the tooth's surface. This ensures that the veneers can be bonded securely.
- Impression: An impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a laboratory where your custom veneers will be made.
- Temporary Veneer: Depending on the extent of the preparation, you may receive a temporary veneer to protect your teeth while the permanent veneers are being crafted.
2. Second Visit:
- Fitting: At your second appointment, the temporary veneer (if applicable) will be removed. Your new veneers will be checked for fit and appearance before bonding.
- Bonding: Once you are satisfied with the fit and look of the veneers, they will be permanently bonded to your teeth. Any necessary adjustments will be made beforehand to ensure a perfect fit.
