One of our most popular cosmetic dentistry options is porcelain veneers. These wafer-thin shells are placed over teeth to disguise cosmetic imperfections, and have a very high rate of satisfaction. Unfortunately, porcelain veneers are not permanent - but they can be extremely long-lasting in the right candidate and with proper care.
If you are interested in achieving a beautiful Hollywood smile through porcelain veneers or Lumineers, please contact Highpoint Dental Care and Implant Center Care and Implant Center today at 303-617-9100 to schedule your consultation.
Although porcelain veneers are not considered a permanent procedure since they will likely have to be replaced at some point, they can last for decades as long as you take care of them properly. Some patients may never need to replace them at all.
Porcelain veneers are, however, irreversible. They require your natural teeth to be filed down in order to make room in your mouth for the veneers. Once your enamel is filed down, it does not grow back, so you will always need to have veneers or crowns on the affected teeth.
If you are uncomfortable with the thought of filing your natural teeth down, we also offer Lumineers, which often require less prep than porcelain veneers. Lumineers are not as durable or long-lasting, but they are usually reversible. We will listen to your concerns and let you know whether you are a better candidate for porcelain veneers or Lumineers.
In order to make sure your porcelain veneers or Lumineers last as long as possible, there are some steps you should follow. Great oral care is the best way to ensure your veneers stay in good shape.
Here are some of the basic rules to follow for porcelain veneer maintenance:
Aside from tooth decay, the other main reason a veneer might fall off or break is from trauma to the mouth. If you play contact sports, you will probably want to wear a mouth guard to protect your porcelain veneers.
If you have chipped, cracked, discolored, or other aesthetic problems with your teeth, call Highpoint Dental Care and Implant Center Care and Implant Center today at 303-617-9100 to schedule your porcelain veneers consultation.
