DENTAL VENEERS IN HOUSTON TX

Dental Porcelain Veneers are not just for Hollywood actors and celebrities anymore. As more and more people learn the value of good image, many consider having their teeth restored with cosmetic veneers.

While this dental restoration and fixation is often done for cosmetic reasons, dental veneers are also very helpful in restoring discolored teeth due to aging, chemical damage, as well as staining. Teeth discoloration is a common problem that happens when teeth enamel is stained or damaged through time.

Some common causes of this discoloration include coffee, tea, wine, certain medications like Tetracycline, as well as nicotine from smoking cigarettes. While staining is the leading cause of teeth discoloration, genetics may also play a part, as some people naturally have whiter enamel than others.

How Do Dental Veneers Work?

During a cosmetic veneer restoration, composite or porcelain shells are placed over the teeth to change its color and shape. In addition to solving discoloration problems, the treatment is also ideal for fixing disproportionate teeth sizes allowing that person to restore a beautiful smile.

Having dental veneers placed over teeth that are too small or too big, are unevenly shaped, crooked, chipped, or have small holes in them, fixes these irregularities and gives you the beautiful and lasting Hollywood smile that you desire. If your severely discolored, misshapen tooth is bringing you down and preventing you from showing a toothy grin, maybe it’s time to consider having cosmetic veneers installed.

This dental restoration is often offered as an alternative to dental crowns. Veneers offer a few advantages over dental crowns: Less tooth structure is removed in preparation for the restoration, and instead of being cemented on, these thin porcelain shells are bonded on adhering to the front side of your teeth.

Are Dental Veneers for me?

Not only do veneers cost less than dental crowns, their installation also require less work, in turn preventing the risk of trauma that causes sensitivity and other tooth problems. Porcelain veneers are patterned from tooth impressions and fabricated in a dental laboratory. These types of veneers are made from a thin porcelain material.

When the Veneers are fabricated and ready, they are then glued over the front of the teeth, usually with little to no local anesthesia required. While Porcelain Dental Veneers require at least two visits to your dentist, composite veneers require only a single visit, as the application and bonding of the composite veneer is done directly on the surface of the tooth.

Having composite veneers installed gives you an instant solution to your stained or crooked teeth. However, porcelain veneers are more resistant to staining and are very durable, and can last you a longer time.

Are Dental Veneers Permanent?

Yes they are. As mentioned they are thin porcelain shells that are bonded onto your own tooth structure permanently. These porcelain shells are bonded on using a special cement that holds them into place. A series of techniques are used to prepare the tooth for this bonding procedure. This includes etching, using a tooth based primer, and preparing the porcelain veneers itself with a yellow colored etchant, and a silane based agent. The cement is normally light cured into place to harden the cement, and making your restoration permanent.
