Our experienced staff of dental professionals at MINT dentistry is excited to offer specially designed porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers can be a great choice if you need a minimally invasive and effective way to upgrade the appearance of your smile so you can be more confident in your social and professional life.

WHAT ARE CERAMIC VENEERS?
Veneers are extremely thin porcelain covers that are bonded onto the front surface of your tooth. Based on an individual's unique needs, ceramic veneers can be created to mask a multitude of aesthetic imperfections. Gaps, dark spots, and cracks and misshapen, very small, and broken teeth can all be covered up with the veneers to create a fantastic smile.

WHY WE SHOULD DEFINITELY OPT FOR PORCELAIN
The most common kinds of veneers are composed of porcelain and resin. The majority of providers, including the team at MINT dentistry, recommend porcelain because it is more impervious to staining when compared to resin, and it is more durable, too. Porcelain also mimics the appearance of your existing teeth more closely because of how it throws back light. One of the most important objectives of using porcelain veneers is to revitalize your smile without it being obvious that you’ve had an aesthetic dental treatment done. Porcelain veneers yield the strongest and most real-looking results for your smile.

MIGHT I BE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE?
Men and women who wish to get veneers should not show any signs of cavities or gum disease. If you want to be fitted with custom porcelain veneers, your oral health care provider will need to ensure that you are in excellent oral health. He or she will also have to ensure that your teeth have enough tooth enamel, because a small amount of enamel almost always needs to be removed in order to prep the teeth for the veneers. Also, if you have bruxism or clench your teeth, you may not be the best candidate. Individuals who have any of these dental concerns will be asked to have them seen to before they can be given any cosmetic services. Patients in Dallas and Houston, TX who are seeking out porcelain veneers frequently have many different issues they wish to address. Veneers can offer dramatic superficial improvements, such as in the coloration, contour, irregular sizing, and wear of the teeth. They are also able to mask common problems, for example, misshapen or asymmetric teeth. Other frequent reasons patients receive porcelain veneers include significantly stained teeth, teeth that look too small (microdontia), chipped teeth, and gaps between teeth.

THE PROCEDURE FOR GETTING VENEERS
Once it’s been concluded that you are a good candidate for veneers, a mold of your tooth or teeth will need to be made. Your impressions will be shipped to a lab, where your personalized veneers will be created from resin or strong porcelain. Soon after your dentist receives your veneers back from the dental laboratory, you’ll return to the office. During this session, a small quantity of enamel will be shaved from the top sides of your teeth. This creates space for the veneers and slightly roughens the enamel for better adhesion. Getting veneers typically should not require any type of anesthesia. However, if you have dental anxieties, nitrous oxide or a mild oral sedation can be used. When the veneers are attached, small adjustments may be done to make sure that they are comfortable and fit well. After one last wax and buff of your new veneers, you'll be ready to go with your enhanced, sexy smile to resume your regular routine. This quick and effective cosmetic treatment can remove the insecurities you once had and help you feel more self-assured.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR PORCELAIN VENEERS
Certain patients will experience a mild sensitivity to cold and hot foods for three or four days after their veneers are put on, but this feeling will go away without intervention. Concerning staining, porcelain is more resistant than your tooth enamel; however, you still should always be careful when eating or drinking things that may discolor your teeth (for example, coffee, red wine, and berries). To take care of your veneers, as well as your own teeth, you have to keep up an appropriate home oral care routine. This includes brushing and flossing daily. You also need to make sure that you make appointments at your dentist in Dallas and Houston, TX no less than two times every year for your comprehensive oral health assessment and twice-yearly professional cleanings.

WHAT DO DENTAL VENEERS TYPICALLY COST?
Prices for porcelain veneers depend on your unique treatment plan. When you have your first appointment, your dentist will assess your teeth and go over how many dental veneers you need and their locations, which will partially determine your final costs. While aesthetic procedures like dental veneers are not usually paid for by dental insurance, MINT dentistry takes many kinds of payments, in addition to several financing choices. If you are interested in porcelain veneers, we will help you to make your plan more accessible.

HOW MANY YEARS SHOULD VENEERS STAY ON?
When cared for correctly, veneers can last up to 10 – 20 years. Ceramic veneers are very strong; when they are well maintained, they can last for quite some time. When you have your yearly oral health checkup, your dentist should look at the condition of your veneers and let you know when you should have them replaced.
