Dental Veneers

In recent years, dental veneers have gained widespread popularity as a cosmetic solution for those aiming to achieve a picture-perfect smile. Once a well-guarded secret among celebrities, veneers are now accessible to anyone looking to fix chips, gaps, or discoloration with a natural-looking result.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are adhered to the visible part of your front teeth. Since they are designed to mimic the appearance of natural enamel, they can go unnoticed alongside your existing teeth.

Veneers are an excellent option for correcting a variety of cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven shapes. They are also tailored in terms of shade, shape, and size to match your unique smile, making them versatile enough to enhance just one tooth or an entire row for a complete makeover.

What to Expect After Getting Veneers

The recovery process following veneer placement is generally smooth and hassle-free. Most patients feel little to no discomfort and are able to return to their normal activities right away. You may experience some minor sensitivity to hot and cold foods, but this often fades within a few days.

To protect your new veneers during the initial 24 hours, it's best to avoid chewing on hard foods. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, along with routine dental visits, will help preserve the look and durability of your veneers.

How Does Veneer Placement Work?

Getting veneers at Valley Dental is a straightforward, minimally invasive process that usually requires two visits:

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Tooth Preparation

During your first visit, our dentist will discuss your goals and assess if you can get veneers. Once we decide to proceed, a thin layer of enamel—no thicker than a fingernail—is gently removed from the tooth's surface. This step creates space for the veneer to fit and align perfectly with your smile. We use a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Step 2: Custom Veneer Fabrication

After prepping your teeth, we’ll take detailed impressions and use them to craft a set of veneers that look just like your natural teeth. We will work closely with you to choose a shade that complements your smile. Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent ones are being fabricated.

Step 3: Final Veneer Placement

Once your veneers are ready, you’ll return for your second appointment. We'll bond the veneers to your teeth using a special adhesive, ensuring a strong and durable fit. After bonding, we’ll make any final adjustments to guarantee a natural and comfortable result.
