Get Flawless, Porcelain Veneers in Plantation

What are teeth veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.

Placing custom teeth veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely, and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient’s smile.

Will dental veneers look like normal teeth?

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

What to Expect When You Get Veneers

Step 1: Consultation and Treatment Planning

• Initial Consultation: During your first visit, your dentist will discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your teeth, and determine if veneers are the right solution for you.
• Smile Design: Your dentist may take X-rays, impressions, or digital scans to design veneers that match the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation

• Surface Reshaping: A small amount of enamel (about 0.5 millimeters) is removed from the front surface of the teeth. This ensures the veneers will fit properly and look natural.
• Impressions: Your dentist will take precise impressions or digital scans of your teeth to send to a dental lab where the veneers are crafted.

Step 3: Temporary Veneers (If Needed)

• Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are being fabricated. These protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile.

Step 4: Veneer Bonding

• Fitting the Veneers: Once your custom veneers are ready (usually in 1–2 weeks), your dentist will place them on your teeth temporarily to check their fit, shape, and color. Adjustments are made as necessary.
• Etching and Adhesion: To ensure a strong bond, the surface of your teeth is cleaned, polished, and etched (a process that roughens the tooth surface).
• Bonding Process: A special dental cement is applied to the veneer, which is then placed on the tooth. A curing light is used to harden the cement quickly, securing the veneer in place.

Step 5: Final Adjustments and Polishing

• Your dentist will make any final adjustments to ensure your bite feels natural and the veneers look perfect.
• The veneers are polished to give them a seamless and natural appearance.

How Long Does the Veneer Process Take?

The process typically requires 2–3 visits over the course of a few weeks: one for consultation, one for preparation and impressions, and one for bonding the veneers.

Caring for Your Veneers

Veneers are durable and can last 10–15 years with proper care. Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid biting hard objects, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.

Veneers provide a long-lasting solution for achieving a stunning, natural-looking smile tailored to your unique needs.

How Durable are Porcelain Veneers?

With proper care, porcelain veneers will brighten your smile for well over a decade.

Dr. Schwartz, Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Boillot will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelains and are bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available.

Refraining from using your veneers as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life, and if accidental breakage or damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.
