What Are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
In simple terms, dental veneers are luminous, ultra thin, delicate yet durable pieces of porcelain. The dentist layers them on top of natural tooth structure through an adhesive system. Applying dental veneers requires exacting preparation and minute contouring to create superior aesthetics, a beautiful smile, and heightened self-esteem.
Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Dr. Kiani and his associates will conduct a dental exam to determine whether you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers. Dental veneers can effectively address a wide range of cosmetic and functional dental issues, including:
- Discolored Teeth: Teeth that are stained or discolored, either due to root canal treatment, usage of certain drugs, excessive fluoride, or large resin fillings, can be covered with veneers for a brighter, whiter smile.
- Worn Down Teeth: Teeth that are worn down due to grinding, aging, or other factors can be restored to their original appearance with veneers.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Veneers can cover and protect chipped or broken teeth, improving the aesthetics of your smile and preventing further damage.
- Misaligned or Irregularly Shaped Teeth: If your teeth are uneven, irregularly shaped, or out of alignment, veneers can be used to create a uniform, straight smile.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Dental veneers can close small to moderate gaps between teeth, creating a more even, seamless appearance.
- Resistant Staining: For those teeth stains that are resistant to traditional whitening treatments, veneers can provide an effective and lasting solution.
- Enamel Erosion: The thin enamel layer can wear away over time due to various reasons, making teeth more vulnerable to decay. Veneers can replace this layer, protecting the tooth and enhancing the smile aesthetically.
Remember, while dental veneers are a versatile solution for many dental problems, they may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to have a consultation with a dental professional, such as the team at Miami iSmile, to determine the best treatment option for your unique dental needs.
What Are Porcelain Veneers Made of?
There are two types of materials that comprise porcelain laminate veneers, including sintered feldspathic porcelain and pressable ceramic. Professional cosmetic dentists prefer these materials because the combination mimics natural teeth—luminosity, translucency, longevity, durability, and sheer beauty. Composite resins can also be used to craft veneers, but they are not considered the gold standard in the industry.
How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?
The lifespan of a porcelain dental veneer depends on several factors. A highly skilled cosmetic dentist, such as Dr. Kiani and Associates, must correctly perform case planning; pay attention to established dental protocols; teeth preparation; selecting the correct ceramics; and choosing the best adhesive system and cementation methods for the dental veneers to last. But the longevity of porcelain veneers also depends on the patient. Fastidious oral health habits; regular dental care and professional cleanings; healthy dietary choices; and avoiding acidic and abrasive products that could crack or damage the finish all extend their lifespan. Studies have shown that, if maintained properly, porcelain veneers can last for 5 or 10 years—or longer. Composite resins, on the other hand, lack the same type of “long-term survival rates,” which is exactly why we at Miami iSmile favors ceramics.
