About Porcelain Veneers: The Ideal Solution for Stunning Smiles
These thin, custom-made shells are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, addressing various cosmetic imperfections such as discoloration, chips, and slight misalignments.With proper care, new porcelain veneers offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution that can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance.What are Porcelain Veneers?
- Size
- Color
- Shape
- Overall appearance
A porcelain tooth or teeth are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain, resembling the natural tooth enamel’s reflective qualities, creating a natural and seamless look.
Dr. Sabourin is an expert in placing porcelain veneers, ensuring that each placement is tailored to the individual for a perfect fit and a stunning smile.
No-prep veneers, or prepless veneers, are an alternative to traditional porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin veneers require minimal, if any, enamel removal and can sometimes be removed in the future, allowing you to regain your original smile.
However, not all patients are suitable for prep less veneers, and Dr. Sabourin will assess your smile during your initial consultation to determine the best cosmetic dentistry solution for you.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Opting for porcelain veneers for your smile makeover comes with numerous benefits.
They offer a natural appearance that closely mimics your natural teeth, making it difficult to tell the difference between your veneers and natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers are more durable than other cosmetic dentistry options, such as dental bonding or composite resin veneers.
They resist staining, cavities, and chipping, ensuring your beautiful smile lasts for years.
In addition to their natural appearance and durability, porcelain veneers can address various cosmetic concerns.
They can improve the color of discolored teeth, close gaps between teeth, and even change the size and shape of irregularly shaped teeth.
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 20 years or longer, making them a long-lasting solution for a beautiful smile.
Customization for Perfect Results
Dr. Sabourin customizes each porcelain veneer uniquely to complement your smile perfectly.
His meticulous attention to detail ensures a flawless appearance that matches your natural teeth perfectly.
The customization process typically involves the following:
Consultation
Smile preparation
Placing the veneers in your mouth
The Different Types of Dental Veneers
No-prep veneers: Fabricated from durable dental ceramic such as porcelain, minimal- or no-prep veneers are a custom-made option for your smile that require less preparation than traditional porcelain veneers.
No-prep veneers are designed to be ultra-thin at just 0.3mm (about the thickness of a contact lens), enabling seamless application over natural teeth, often without removing the entire tooth or enamel.
Porcelain veneers: These restorations are custom-made to fit your dental anatomy and measure about 0.5mm. Before placement, a small amount of enamel must be removed to ensure they fit seamlessly over your natural teeth and align with your gums and adjacent teeth.
Composite veneers: This veneer is made from the same tooth-colored composite resin as dental bonding to achieve the desired results. Some composite material is always used to create temporary veneers.
Which Dental Veneer Option is Best?
Dr. Sabourin will help you determine if veneers are right for you and choose the best type to meet your clinical needs and financial budget.
Multiple clinical studies indicate porcelain veneers provide excellent aesthetic results, longevity, and patient satisfaction.
They are usually a first-choice option, but there are some use cases for other types of veneers as well.
