What are Porcelain Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin covers or shells that your dentist will bond to the front of your tooth. These shells of ceramic porcelain will look like natural teeth to create a uniform smile. We will custom-create your veneers so they fit precisely over your existing teeth. Once in place, your teeth and smile will look more desirable.

Our dentists may suggest porcelain veneers to help with the following dental issues:

• Easily whiten dull or stained teeth
• Close the gap between two teeth
• Improve the appearance of misshapen or crooked teeth
• Make uneven teeth appear even in length
• Improve the appearance of cracked or chipped teeth

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a natural-looking solution for patients at Owings Mills Dental Care. Porcelain veneers:

• Provide durability
• Require no special maintenance
• Are stain-resistant
• Look and feel natural

Because our dental veneers are created from porcelain material, they can be color-matched and can reflect light. Their material offers a cosmetic restoration that looks and feels natural. Some patients may even forget that they have veneers bonded to their teeth.

Treatment with Porcelain Veneers in Owings Mills, MD

Before treatment, the dentist will review your budget, goals, and oral health to ensure that porcelain veneers are the right choice for you. The dentist will also assess your teeth and gums prior to bonding your porcelain veneers.

A dental lab will craft the porcelain veneers from thin shells of dental ceramic. Porcelain mimics natural teeth in terms of shape and color. The dentist will remove as little tooth enamel as possible for your veneers.

They will remove a small amount of tooth structure from the tooth or teeth that will receive the dental veneers. Removing a small layer of the enamel will create room for the veneers. After the dentist prepares your teeth, they will take molds of teeth to create customer-fit veneers.

The doctor will fit you with temporary veneers before the final restoration is complete. After several weeks, the dentist will bond the permanent veneers to the teeth. Then they will make any necessary adjustments for fit and to ensure that you have a stable bite. Your dentist will give you a polished and natural look by permanently bonding the porcelain veneers to your teeth.

Porcelain Veneers FAQs

We have put together the answers to the most common questions people ask about porcelain veneers. If you are curious about the procedure, the results, or aftercare, please read through our frequently asked questions. If you have further questions, please contact Owings Mills Dental Care Monday through Friday during our office hours.

Are porcelain veneers better than tooth bonding?

Yes. Porcelain veneers are more durable and provide lasting results compared to dental bonding. However, we may suggest dental bonding as a temporary measure. Bonding is a good temporary option if you are not ready for veneers. Veneers will last much longer than dental bonding and they will not need to touch up.

Will I get temporary veneers while waiting for my permanent veneers?

Yes, while waiting for the dental lab to craft your teeth veneers, we will place temporary veneers on your teeth. The purpose of temporaries is to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics while you wait for your permanent restorations.

Temporary veneers ensure you can eat and speak comfortably. They also offer a glimpse of the final look you can expect with your custom-made veneers.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers can last between 15 to 20 years before we recommend replacement. You can extend the life of your veneers with excellent oral hygiene routines and bi-yearly dental care. Your Dentist can also repair and replace your veneers if you damage them. 

Does dental insurance cover veneers?

Dental insurance does not typically cover Veneers. However, your dental insurance may partially cover veneers if you plan to place them for restorative purposes.  These restorative reasons could include a broken tooth or an infected or chipped tooth.

Discuss the procedure with your dentist and insurance provider to see if you can get partial coverage. We also provide dental financing options.

How do I care for my porcelain veneers?

If you choose to get porcelain veneers, it is vital to take good care of them to ensure their longevity. You should maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste and flossing once a day. We suggest using a soft-bristle toothbrush to avoid damaging the teeth veneers.

Even though porcelain veneers are pretty good at resisting stains, they are not immune to them. We suggest limiting the consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks.

Avoid biting down on any type of hard object because this can lead to chips or cracks. Visit us regularly for routine dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure your dental veneers and teeth are healthy.

Will people be able to tell I have dental veneers?

Porcelain veneers are high-quality cosmetic teeth restorations that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. We design them so that the shape, color, and size of your dental veneers match your natural teeth. This customization will ensure a seamless integration. With proper care and expert placement, it’s unlikely that people will notice you have dental veneers.

Does the porcelain veneer process hurt?

The porcelain veneer process does not typically cause pain but it may cause minimal discomfort. The dentist will need to remove a small amount of tooth enamel or minor reshaping of your natural tooth. We may use a local anesthetic to make sure you are as comfortable as possible during the process.

After your appointment, you may have some sensitivity or mild soreness. However, this is usually brief and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

Will dental veneers whiten my teeth?

Dental veneers can make your teeth look whiter, but they don’t actually whiten them. Professional teeth whitening can remove discoloration or stains from your teeth. However, many people’s teeth do not respond to this treatment. Custom veneers are a great option to make your smile appear whiter and brighter.
