What are veneers?
Veneers are thin tooth coverings that restore the appearance of your smile. They are a staple of cosmetic dentistry and can address various aesthetic concerns, including:
- Stubborn discoloration or stains
- Tooth chips or cracks
- Misaligned or misshapen teeth
- Tooth gaps
Applemint Dental's cosmetic dentistry utilizes the latest innovations for beautiful results, including KöR® Whitening and dental bonding.
With proper care and depending on the type of veneer you choose, your veneers may last over a decade.
What are the different types of veneers?
The Applemint Dental team includes three types of veneers in its cosmetic dentistry offerings:
Porcelain veneers
These popular veneers are the most durable. They are constructed from ceramic and customized to match your natural teeth.
Composite veneers
Composite veneers are an affordable and fast option made of composite resin and often require only one visit.
Lumineers
Lumineers may be an excellent option if you want veneers that require less tooth preparation. They are a more delicate form of porcelain veneer that can be removed later if you decide to reverse the process.
I would like to pursue veneers. What can I expect from the process?
First, you’ll have a thorough consultation with your dental provider. They will assess your smile, learn about your goals, and discuss the type of veneers that best meet your needs. Then, you’ll schedule the first of two visits to start the veneer process.
Your provider prepares your teeth and takes a mold to customize your veneers. While you wait for them, you’ll wear temporary veneers. Brush like usual, but avoid flossing.
Once your veneers are ready, you return to Applemint Dental, where the team fits and bonds them to your teeth to perfect your smile.
How should I take care of my veneers?
Your provider gives you detailed instructions on proper care for your veneers, such as:
- Avoid chewing hard foods
- Limit alcohol consumption
- Avoid clenching or grinding your teeth
- Minimize smoking and reduce consumption of staining foods or beverages
- Attend your scheduled dental checkups
The Applemint Dental team can recommend a soft-bristled toothbrush and proper toothpaste to protect your enamel and veneers.
