Beaming Radiance

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain coverings that are carefully bonded to the front of your teeth, enhancing their color and shape. They offer several advantages over composite bonding, including a longer lifespan of approximately 15 years and superior resistance to permanent staining caused by coffee, tea, or smoking.

At our practice in Chicago Porcelain Veneers are a life-changing treatment we take pride in providing. However, it's important to note that not everyone is an ideal candidate for this treatment. It is crucial to thoroughly understand both the benefits and potential drawbacks of porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are particularly effective in addressing various cosmetic concerns, such as teeth stains, crooked or uneven teeth, as well as teeth that appear short, wide, or disproportionate. They can also be an excellent solution for teeth that are chipped, worn down, or affected by grinding. Additionally, porcelain veneers offer a reliable option for replacing old, discolored bonding that requires an upgrade.

Life-Changing Results

What are the advantages of Porcelain Veneers?

Enhanced Aesthetics: Porcelain Veneers have the ability to transform your smile and boost your self-confidence. If you're self-conscious about your teeth, veneers can provide a solution and help you feel proud to show off your smile. Don't let your smile hold you back when veneers can make such a remarkable and positive difference.

Efficiency: The process of getting porcelain veneers typically involves two appointments. During the initial visit, we prepare the teeth, take impressions, and provide temporary veneers. In just two weeks, you'll return to have your custom veneers securely bonded, allowing you to proudly display your new smile right away.

Ease of Maintenance: Porcelain Veneers consist of individual units, making them easy to care for. You can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and beverages, brush and floss as usual, and maintain a regular oral hygiene routine without any added complexities.

Weigh Your Options

What are the disadvantages of Porcelain Veneers?

Enamel Removal: While our goal is to be as conservative as possible, a minimal amount of enamel removal (approximately 0.5-1mm) is necessary to ensure proper fit and placement of the veneers. It's important to note that this enamel removal is irreversible, but the results can be transformative.

Cost Considerations: We strive to offer competitive pricing for Porcelain Veneers because our dentists are passionate about providing this service. However, it's important to acknowledge that veneers can be a significant investment. We are more than happy to offer a complimentary consultation to discuss your specific case and provide a personalized quote for the procedure.

From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Your Porcelain Veneer Procedure

To begin, we will ensure your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the adhesive. This step involves removing any plaque or tartar and gently shaping the surface of your teeth to create an ideal bonding surface. Next, we apply the adhesive and meticulously place the custom-made veneers onto your teeth' surfaces, considering your unique smile goals and facial features. This careful placement ensures a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. Once the Porcelain veneers are in position, we use a dental light to cure the adhesive, providing a secure and long-lasting bond.

After your appointment for Porcelain Veneers Chicago patients will have their veneers permanently attached to their teeth, resulting in a significantly enhanced smile. You don't have to worry about any dietary restrictions, as you can continue to enjoy your favorite food and drinks. However, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene habits and visit your dentist regularly to keep your veneers healthy and long-lasting.

Longevity and Preservation

Porcelain Veneer Results

One of the remarkable aspects of veneers is their ability to provide a natural and seamless appearance, blending harmoniously with your existing teeth. If you have undergone teeth whitening or already have naturally white teeth, your smile will be enhanced with a bright and beautiful radiance. With proper hygiene, Porcelain Veneers are designed to last for a significant duration, typically between 10 and 20 years.

To ensure the preservation of your natural and treated teeth, it is essential to resume your regular brushing and flossing routine immediately after the veneer procedure. Similarly to maintaining your natural teeth, it is best to steer clear of acidic or highly pigmented foods and drinks like dark fruits, red wine, coffee, and tea, as they can potentially stain or damage the porcelain veneers. Our experienced team can guide you in improving your oral hygiene practices to provide comprehensive protection for your oral health.

Embrace Your Smile’s Full Potential

Porcelain Veneers Recovery and Aftercare

After getting Porcelain Veneers, it is common to experience slight sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages for a short period. Additionally, you may feel mild oral discomfort for approximately two weeks as your teeth adjust to the veneers. Rest assured, these sensations are temporary, and most individuals adapt to them quickly.

To help manage sensitivity, we recommend using toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth. These kinds of toothpaste can help alleviate any discomfort you may feel when consuming hot or cold substances. During the initial healing period, avoiding foods that are crispy, hard, or tough to chew, such as chips, nuts, or steak, is advisable.

Can anyone get Porcelain Veneers? If you're considering Porcelain Veneers, it's important to consult a dentist for a thorough evaluation to determine if they're the right option for you.

You should keep up with your regular oral hygiene routine, which includes brushing twice a day with non-abrasive toothpaste and flossing daily. It's also essential to schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings to monitor the condition and overall health of your veneers.
