Improve the appearance of your smile with porcelain veneers
At Tooth Architect Dental Care of Sandy Springs, Georgia, our team of professionals works with patients to ensure they have access to the services they need to achieve oral health and wellness and maintain it over time. For some, this may include undergoing certain aesthetic dentistry procedures that improve the overall appearance of the smile, especially when imperfections are present near the front of the smile. Dr. Shiva Talebi may suggest placing porcelain veneers. Below are five common questions asked about our porcelain veneers.
porcelain veneers lifespan
These thin facings can last a long time with proper care. Porcelain veneers typically have an average lifespan of 10-15 years, but this varies based on the patient’s oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices. To prolong the lifespan of their porcelain veneers, it is critical that patients follow good oral hygiene practices and avoid habits such as teeth grinding or using teeth as tools.
Whitening my teeth after getting porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers cannot be whitened once they are placed on the teeth. Patients should discuss their desired tooth shade with their dentist before getting veneers so that they are happy with the final results. Our team at Tooth Architect Dental Care is here to help ensure that the veneers are made to match their smiles.
Good candidates for porcelain veneers
When you talk to the team at Tooth Architect Dental Care, you will quickly learn whether or not porcelain veneers would be appropriate for your specific needs. Patients with noticeable imperfections near the front of their smile, such as chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, or misaligned teeth, can benefit the most from porcelain veneers. In general, good candidates for this procedure have healthy teeth and gum tissues and are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene habits.
The process of obtaining and placing porcelain veneers
The length of time it takes to get porcelain veneers varies greatly depending on the number of teeth being treated and the complexity of each case. In most cases, patients need to schedule two appointments after consultation and smile design approval: one to prepare the teeth and take impressions for custom-made veneers and another to place them and complete the process.
