Porcelain Veneers in Ormond Beach
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored material designed to cover the front surface of your teeth and transform their appearance. At Taborda Dentistry, veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth to change their color, shape, size, or length. They are an ideal option for patients in Ormond Beach FL with discoloration that doesn’t respond to whitening, damaged teeth, or anyone unhappy with the shape or look of their natural smile.
Request an AppointmentWhat Can Porcelain Veneers Correct?
Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments available. They can address:
- Deep stains or discoloration that teeth whitening cannot remove
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Small gaps between teeth
- Uneven, misshapen, or unusually small teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain reflects light much like natural tooth enamel, giving veneers a lifelike, beautiful appearance. Veneers are highly resistant to staining from coffee, tea, and wine, and they are custom-designed to complement your facial features and skin tone. Because they cover only the front surface of the tooth, veneers are a more conservative option than full crowns for many cosmetic concerns.
Designing Your New Smile
Your veneer journey begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and evaluate your oral health. Using Digital Smile Design, we can help you visualize your results and plan the shape, length, and shade of your new smile before treatment begins. Any gum disease or decay will be addressed first to ensure a healthy foundation.
The Veneer Process
To prepare your teeth, a very thin layer of enamel is gently removed from the front surface so the veneers sit naturally. Impressions are taken and used to craft your custom veneers. Once they are ready, we check their fit and color, then bond them securely to your teeth for a stunning, long-lasting result.
Caring for Your Veneers
Veneers require the same care as your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss every day, and keep up with routine cleanings and exams. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens, and ask about a nightguard if you grind your teeth. Veneers are often combined with other treatments as part of a full mouth cosmetic dentistry plan, and some patients straighten their teeth first with clear aligners.
Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Veneers
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Do veneers look natural?
Yes. Porcelain veneers are custom-shaped and shaded to look like natural teeth and reflect light the same way enamel does.
Are veneers permanent?
Because a thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation, veneers are considered a permanent treatment. They may need to be replaced after many years of wear.
Does getting veneers hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. The teeth can be numbed during preparation, and any sensitivity afterward is usually mild and temporary.
Can veneers stain?
Porcelain is highly stain-resistant, so veneers keep their color well. However, the natural teeth around them can still stain.
Can I get veneers on just one tooth?
Yes. A single veneer can be carefully matched to your surrounding teeth to correct one chipped or discolored tooth.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover only the front surface of a tooth for cosmetic improvements, while crowns cover the entire tooth to restore strength and function.
