Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry solution to quickly fix or improve the appearance of teeth. They are mainly used for the front teeth that show when you smile and can also be a restorative dental solution that will fix and protect a tooth that is chipped, cracked or broken. Cosmetically, they can fix the colour or placement of teeth to upgrade your smile. Our team at Diggers Rest Dental House are particularly skilled at customising porcelain veneers to help our patients with a variety of restorative dental solutions.

Dental veneers are thin coverings that are customised to fit over teeth. A veneer will be bonded to the tooth to act as a permanent repair so that you don’t have to worry about removing it for cleaning or maintenance. Patients can use them to repair one tooth or a few teeth and upgrade their smile without the wait for braces or most traditional cosmetic dentistry solutions.

Porcelain veneers are the preferred material for this type of restoration as it resists staining and is durable. Veneers are customised in our laboratory to match your other teeth in shape and colour, and we can even go a shade or two lighter to brighten your smile.

Who Can Get Porcelain Veneers?

Who Can Get Porcelain Veneers?

We know that porcelain veneers are a highly sought after dental treatment, however, they may not be right for every situation. For example, if you have many teeth that need repair, there may be a more cost-effective solution. If you have gum disease or an infection, we will have to treat that first and then decide if veneers are an option afterwards. The following are some situations that are ideal for porcelain veneers:
Z
Chipped or cracked teeth
Z
One or two stained teeth
Z
One or two mildly crooked teeth that interfere with your smile
Z
Uneven spaces or gaps between teeth
If you are interested in porcelain veneers, the best thing to do is to come in for a dental exam and assessment and we can see if they are right for you.

The Process of Porcelain Veneers

When you come to Diggers Rest Dental House for porcelain veneers, we will be able to show you what they will look like before the work even begins. Thanks to Digital Smile Design, or DSD, you can try on different shapes or styles of veneers on screen and then choose the ideal look for you. We can also create a composite mockup that you can wear for a while to see if you will truly be happy with your new smile. Either way, we will work with you so that you are satisfied with the results and confident in your choice.

We use a process for porcelain veneers to ensure that we get it right. The following are the steps to getting porcelain veneers:

We will do an initial dental checkup in which we will collect the data we need to begin your smile treatment plan. This may include x-rays, photos and an oral examination to ensure your teeth are healthy enough for veneers.

If you request it, we can use DSD so you can see your future smile. Also called treatment planning, this process may take one or two visits.

We will prepare your teeth for the approved veneers. You may receive the composite mockups at this point for a trial run with your new smile.

This step may last one or two weeks so that you have time to have minor changes made. We want to ensure that you get the results you expect and deserve.

You will receive your final porcelain veneers. They will be placed on your teeth and polished to match the sheen of your other teeth.
The process of getting porcelain veneers may take from two to four weeks, in total. That’s because we want you to be confident in the final outcome. We will communicate with you throughout the process to ensure we share the same goals with your new smile.

The Durability of Porcelain Veneers

The Durability of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are the most durable material for this cosmetic and restorative dental solution. Porcelain matches the look of natural teeth and is a strong material that can protect damaged teeth from further damage. They resist staining and are strong enough to act as your natural teeth. With proper, daily oral care, your new veneers can easily last 10-15 years or longer. Some patients have reported them lasting over 20 years!

Care and Maintenance

Once you invest in porcelain veneers, we know you want them to last as long as possible. We recommend the following to help:

Z
Do not open bottles with your teeth!
Z
Absolutely no biting on hard objects like pens or ice cubes
Z
Brush at least twice each day
Z
Floss or use an intraoral device to clean between teeth
Z
Maintain regular dental checkups to ensure there are no issues around your veneers
Z
If your veneers feel different or off in any way, call and schedule a checkup with us right away
Z
Get professional dental cleanings to keep plaque and calculus away from surrounding teeth
Z
Wear a mouthguard while playing sports
Teeth grinding or bruxism can damage veneers. If you suspect that you grind your teeth, talk to your dentist about getting a custom mouthguard to protect your teeth at night. In most cases, your dentist can see signs of bruxism and take steps to help.
