Veneers

What are veneers?

Veneers at Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry are tooth-colored shells your dentist bonds to the front and sides of teeth to perfect their color, shape, size, and overall appearance. You might choose veneers if your natural teeth are stained or have minor damage that diminishes an otherwise healthy smile.

What are the benefits of dental veneers?

The benefits you can expect after receiving dental veneers at Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry include:

• Brighter and whiter teeth
• Evenly shaped teeth
• Beautiful smile
• No more gaps
• Stronger teeth
• Reduced risk of future damage
• No more visible tooth imperfections

Veneers improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, misshapen, weak, cracked, or have other minor damage. The process of getting veneers is simple, painless, fast, and dramatically enhances your smile.

Are veneers right for me?

The Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry team lets you know if you’re a candidate for dental veneers after discussing your oral health history and desired results. They examine your teeth and gums and take dental X-rays, if necessary, before personalizing a cosmetic dentistry treatment.

What happens during veneer placement?

The process of getting veneers usually takes two office visits. Before treatment begins, your dentist digitally scans your teeth and mouth. That allows a dental lab to develop custom-fitted veneers that bond to your teeth comfortably.

When your new veneers are ready, a dental provider numbs the treatment area, removes some enamel from your natural teeth, and secures the veneers. The Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry team ensures your veneers fit comfortably. The treatment is painless and there’s no downtime afterward.

What should I expect after receiving my new veneers?

After you receive custom-fitted veneers, take good care of your teeth by brushing after meals and flossing at least once a day.

Avoid chewing on ice and other hard objects, wear a mouthguard at night if you grind your teeth, and attend routine dental cleanings and exams at Westchase Esthetic Family Dentistry every six months. Call the office right away if you damage your veneers.
