Porcelain Veneers Cosmetic Dentistry - Rockledge FL
Have you been dreaming of a Hollywood smile? We may have the answer…. Porcelain veneers are very thin coverings of ceramic that are bonded to the front of a patient's tooth. Porcelain veneers are often placed on teeth that appear too small or large, are discolored, or for whatever reason are not cosmetically pleasing to the patient. Often times, teeth may have chipped, become discolored, are slightly crooked, or have gaps. For the vast number of patients that are concerned with the appearance of their front teeth, porcelain veneers can be the perfect solution.
At Ocean Breeze Dental, when designing porcelain veneers, we pay close attention to the patients surrounding teeth and work very closely with our in house lab technicians who hand make each and every veneer to complement your overall smile. The result is the beautiful, attractive smile you want and deserve. Our veneers are hand made in our dental lab located in Rockledge, Fl from the most durable porcelains available, and if cared for properly, they will last you for many years.
Procedure
The procedure begins by preparing the tooth or teeth to be veneered. This entails (if necessary) removing the discolored or unsightly portion of the tooth and carefully shaping the tooth in preparation for the new veneer. Once all of the teeth are adequately prepared we will take an impression. This impression will be sent to our in house lab where your new restoration will be delicately hand crafted. While the new veneers are created, we will provide you with a temporary restoration (if necessary). Our temporary restorations, when placed, will resemble your natural teeth so that you can go about your day to day routine with no interruptions.
During your second visit to Ocean Breeze Dental, we will fit and place your veeners over your existing teeth. Following your final approval the veneers will be bonded in place, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
What Are the Advantages of Veneers?
Veneers can give your teeth a more natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance and are stain resistant and soft on gums. In some cases, veneers can serve a restorative purpose and can protect a damaged tooth from further harm.
Types of Veneers
- Porcelain
- Resin Composite
- Lumineers
Since porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains and chipping, they are generally more expensive. Lumineers are a popular type of porcelain veneers that do not require your teeth to be shaved.
Will My Insurance Cover Veneers?
As this procedure is elective and primarily cosmetic, most dental insurers will not cover veneers. Talk to your dentist about the financing options available.
