Are you looking to upgrade your smile? Maybe you aren’t happy with the color, or maybe there is damage to a tooth or multiple teeth that needs to be repaired. Whatever the case may be, there is a treatment option that may be the perfect thing to meet your needs—porcelain veneers. Great Lakes Dental Excellence offers custom veneers to improve the shape and color of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers are dental prosthetics that became popular due to actors in Hollywood using them to improve their smiles. These days, patients around the world use them to enhance the appearance of their teeth. If you are looking for a Hollywood smile, porcelain veneers may be the perfect choice!
Dental veneers involve the placement of a thin shell (often porcelain) to cover any dental flaws. After the natural tooth is reshaped, a prosthetic is bonded onto the tooth. Each porcelain veneer is custom and fits in perfectly with the rest of the patient’s smile. At Great Lakes Dental Excellence in New Baltimore, MI we use porcelain veneers to address:
The placement process of dental veneers often takes only two visits to our office. During these visits, your dentist will design, create and apply your veneers. During the initial visit, you can expect your dentist to reshape the tooth to ensure the veneer fits properly. From there, a mold can be made and sent to a dental lab, where the custom veneer will be created. Once it is ready, the veneer is sent to Great Lakes Dental Excellence to place. We will check the fit and, if everything looks good, he’ll secure it in place with dental cement. Before you know it, you’ll have your new veneer placed!
Porcelain veneers are well-known for their aesthetic beauty. They are able to closely mimic the appearance of a natural tooth and fit in perfectly with the smile of the patient. Your dentist will work with you to ensure the size and shape of your veneer matches the tooth it sits on and the teeth that surround it. Your veneer can also help to lessen the amount of plaque buildup and is resistant to discoloration. With that said, the teeth under veneers are still natural, so it’s important to continue to take proper care of your oral health.

To ensure your dental veneers continue to look their best for years to come, you should treat them the same as you would your natural teeth. This means brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. If your previous oral habits led to the need for veneers, then it’s important to improve those habits to avoid any oral health concerns in the future.
To increase the longevity of your veneers, make sure you avoid chewing on hard objects and biting your nails, as this can damage your beautiful new veneers. If you suffer from bruxism, make sure you purchase a night guard to avoid chips or breaks. Porcelain veneers are strong, but they aren’t invincible. Limit the amount you eat hard or crunchy foods. You’ll also want to avoid foods and beverages that will stain your veneers. This includes black tea, red wine, coffee, and more. You also should avoid the use of tobacco products not only to avoid stains but also for your overall health.
