What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are designed to completely transform your smile. They are ideal for people who are unhappy with the way their teeth look or who have staining, discoloration, small chips and cracks, or gaps between their teeth. Dr. Andrew Turchin is able to fit you for beautiful, natural-looking veneers that cover imperfections that would otherwise require more extensive work to fix. Veneers are durable and incredibly long-lasting. It is not uncommon for patients to have secure-fitting veneers for up to a decade before they need to be replaced.

Why might you need Dental Veneers?

If you’re ready to change the way that your smile looks, veneers can be highly beneficial to your goals. Before veneers are placed, Dr. Andrew Turchin will perform an exam and provide you with a consultation to determine if veneers are right for you. Most adult patients who would like veneers are easily able to have them made and placed to enhance their smile. Some reasons you may want dental veneers include:

  • Your teeth are discolored and stained
  • Your teeth are not uniform and uneven
  • Your teeth have cracks, chips and small fractures

What is Veneer Replacement?

If you have had veneers placed in the past and are unhappy with the way they look, you can have veneer replacement done. This procedure involves removing the unnatural-looking veneers and replacing them with new veneers. The veneers that are created for you are custom-made to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, providing you with a full, beautiful smile. Dental veneers can last for up to 10 years before they will need to be professionally replaced.

Why should you Replace Unnatural-Looking Veneers?

When veneers look unnatural, they can take away from the beauty of your smile. You might feel embarrassed to smile because of the way that the veneers look. The veneers may even be uncomfortable if they were not placed correctly. It’s not uncommon for old, poorly-placed veneers to get in the way of talking, eating, and chewing.

What makes you a good candidate for Veneer Replacement?

We work with all types of veneers and are able to fully remove the old ones to replace them with new ones. The new veneers are custom-made to look like the rest of your teeth while enhancing your smile, giving you natural-looking results.

What can you expect when having Veneer Replacement done?

You will first need to come in for a consultation with Dr. Andrew Turchin who will perform an exam and look at the old veneers. You will then have the older veneers carefully removed. The teeth are filed down underneath to remove excess cement and to prepare the surface for new veneers. Impressions are made to create your new veneers and a tooth color match is taken. The new veneers will be created for you and you’ll need to come back in to have them placed. The veneers are placed on the fronts of your teeth and filed down to look completely natural.

If you are interested in having a bright white smile, then veneers may be right for you. Dental or porcelain veneers are shells that are bonded to your teeth, and match the color and shade giving patients a beautiful smile.

Veneers are bonded to the front of your teeth using a cement material, and are typically used for chipped, stained, or uneven teeth. Veneers make your teeth look uniform and bright white.

Veneers are made out of porcelain which is a durable material. The veneer material is thin, but is strong, and stain resistant. Typically veneers last anywhere between 10-15 years. Patients must take good care of their teeth to ensure the veneers stay in good condition.

Tips to keep your Veneers looking great:

  • Avoid biting any hard objects or foods.
  • Avoid biting your nails as this can damage your veneers.
  • If you play sports and are active, we recommend to wear a mouthguard to protect your veneers and prevent damage.
  • If you grind or clench your teeth the veneers are subject to damage and can crack.  To prevent damage, we recommend wearing a mouthguard while you sleep.

Keeping up with good oral hygiene with brushing and flossing, as well as your regular dental visits will help to keep your veneers healthy and last for years.
