Transform Your Smile with Veneers
If you want to improve the look of your teeth and feel great about your smile, veneers might be the perfect choice. These thin, custom-made shells cover up stains, chips, gaps, and other imperfections to give your teeth a fresh, natural appearance.
At Riverwalk Dental, we take the time to understand your goals and help you decide if veneers are right for you.
If you’re curious about veneers and would like to learn more about how they work, you can contact our team to schedule a consultation. We’re excited to get started!
Book AppointmentAre Veneers Right for You?
Veneers can be a great way to reinvent your smile, but not everyone is a candidate for veneers. To qualify, you should:
- Have healthy teeth free from decay
- Have healthy gums without disease
- Have enough enamel on your teeth for the veneers to stick properly
- Have teeth that are mostly intact; if too much tooth is missing, a crown might be better
- Avoid habits like teeth grinding or clenching, which can damage veneers
Our team will determine if veneers are right for you during your consultation.
Types of Veneers
There are 2 main types of veneers: porcelain and composite resin. Porcelain veneers tend to be more durable and resist stains better, while composite resin veneers can be applied in fewer visits.
Our team will work with you to determine the specific type of veneer material that is best for your needs and goals.
Porcelain veneers usually require 2 visits. During the first visit, your dentist will numb your tooth and carefully remove a thin layer of enamel to make space for the veneer. Then, a mould of your teeth is taken to create custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed while you wait for your permanent ones.
During your second visit, the temporary veneers are removed, and your teeth are prepared with a special treatment that helps the veneers bond securely. The porcelain veneers are then carefully attached using a strong dental cement.
Composite resin veneers are typically completed in one visit. Your dentist will select a resin shade that matches your natural teeth. After preparing the tooth surface, the resin is applied in layers and hardened with a special light.
Once all layers are applied, your dentist will shape and polish the veneer for a smooth, natural finish.
Caring for Your Veneers
Veneers are permanent and require proper care, just like your natural teeth. Brush twice a day and floss daily to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Poorly sealed veneers can lead to staining or cavities underneath.
Be careful with hard or chewy foods, and avoid habits like biting ice or nails, as these can chip or damage your veneers. If damage occurs, veneers may need to be repaired or replaced, or you may need a crown.
