Who Is a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?
Dental veneers are created specifically for each patient's smile and facial features, making them unique for every individual. They are designed to address imperfections in the smile zone, such as small gaps, slightly crooked teeth, misshapen teeth, or discoloration. Made Ya Smile offers veneers make from high-grade porcelain to fit over the front of your teeth, from canine to canine, to achieve the right balance. To determine if this is the right option for you, our dentist will perform a standard evaluation to make sure the gum tissues and tooth structure is healthy enough to support veneers. If you have an infection, inflammation of the gums, decay, cavities, or bruxism (grinding or clenching your teeth at night), veneers may not be the right solution at this time. Once we have determined you are a fit for this treatment, the staff at Made Ya Smile will determine the right shape and color of the veneers for a natural-looking outcome.
What Is the Porcelain Veneers Process?
While the process for porcelain veneers in Missouri City, TX, is simple, minimally invasive, and comfortable, Made Ya Smile offers sedation options to help keep you relaxed if you prefer. Our dentist also makes sure to numb the treatment area before beginning the procedure. We begin by removing a little enamel from each tooth in the smile zone so the porcelain veneers will fit properly. Our staff will then take an impression or mold of your teeth to send to a professional laboratory, where we create the custom veneers with high-quality materials such as ceramic or porcelain. While they're being made, our team will provide temporary veneers for one to two weeks to maintain the appearance and function of your smile. Once the restoration is completed, we will schedule a second appointment to bond the veneers in place, then make any necessary adjustments for a seamless look.
What Can I Expect After Porcelain Veneers?
If you were numbed prior to your dental veneers procedure, you should wait until the anesthesia wears off to eat. Otherwise, you may risk damaging the soft tissues in your mouth. Besides that, there is a very small recovery period for patients receiving porcelain veneers. You may notice some minor sensitivity lasting only a few days while wearing the temporary restorations. Our dentist and staff will provide information on how to maintain the veneers for long-lasting results. While these restorations are naturally durable and stain-resistant, it's best to avoid food and beverages such as tea and coffee, as well as biting down on hard objects like pens that could chip the veneers. With the right care, veneers can last for years without needing repair or replacement. Made Ya Smile will continue to watch over your progress and let you know how to clean and care for the veneers moving forward.
