Porcelain Veneers
Transform your smile with custom porcelain veneers for a natural, confident look.
Introduction
Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can transform your smile by correcting a variety of aesthetic concerns. At Northcote Family Dentist, we create custom veneers that look completely natural and help you achieve the perfect, confident smile you've always wanted. Veneers are thin shells of medical-grade porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can address issues such as discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, or teeth that are slightly misaligned or irregularly shaped. Because porcelain closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel, veneers blend seamlessly with your existing teeth for a beautiful, natural-looking result.
Procedure Overview
The veneer process typically requires two to three appointments. During your initial consultation, we discuss your goals and examine your teeth to ensure veneers are the right solution. At the first treatment appointment, we prepare your teeth by removing a very thin layer of enamel (usually less than a millimeter) to make room for the veneers. We then take precise impressions, which are sent to a dental laboratory where skilled ceramists craft your custom veneers. Temporary veneers protect your teeth while the permanent ones are being made. At your final appointment, we carefully bond the veneers to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive, make any necessary adjustments, and polish them to perfection. The result is a stunning, natural-looking smile transformation.
Aftercare Instructions
Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, but they still require proper care. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and floss regularly. Avoid biting hard objects like ice, pens, or fingernails, which can chip the veneers. If you grind your teeth at night, wear a protective mouthguard. Continue regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings every six months. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or more before needing replacement.
