What Porcelain Veneers Are

Porcelain veneers are often referred to as “Instant Orthodontics” because they have such a dramatic and immediate effect on improving your smile, as they will work to correct discolored teeth, stains, and chips, as well as address any teeth that are crooked or an unwanted length or size. The veneers are very thin, custom made shells that are designed to match the color of your teeth and cover the front surface of the selected tooth or teeth, thereby improving their general appearance.

At Cherrywood Dental Care, there is nothing we love more than watching our patients discover a brilliant new smile. If you have been experiencing any of these issues, please contact our staff to see if porcelain veneers are right for you. Our clinic is proud to provide the comprehensive care you need to improve your dental health, and is committed to returning even the most damaged mouths back to full health.

Veneer Procedure Expections

Porcelain veneers can usually be taken care of with just a few dental appointments. During your first consultation, your dentist or hygienist will take photographs and digital x-rays to create a distinct blueprint of your teeth that is best fit for your mouth. During this time, be sure to share any specific requests you have with how the finished product will look.

Once you have selected a style that you are most comfortable with, your follow up appointment will occur within a week or two of this initial visit. During this visit, the dentist will gently prepare your teeth to create space for the incredibly thin porcelain that will be placed over your existing teeth. This process is generally painless, but your dentist may offer anesthesia should you be feeling uncomfortable.

Following this, an impression will be made of your teeth to design the new shape you want to have. During this time, you and your dentist will also decide on the most appropriate shade for the veneer. After this, your veneers will be made in a lab before they are ready to be bonded.

In your final appointment, our staff will first confirm that the veneers shape and color are to your liking. Once this has been confirmed, we will prepare your teeth by performing a general cleaning, polishing, and etching. Once this is completed, a bonding cement will be placed to cure, and once it has, you will be free to leave with your bright new perfect smile!

Feature Veneer Case : Regina

Regina came to Cherrywood Dental wanting more than a cosmetic improvement. She wanted a smile that felt natural, confident, and truly her own. Over time, concerns about the appearance of her teeth had started to affect how freely she smiled, and she was ready for a change that would feel both beautiful and believable.

Her case was approached with the kind of detail, planning, and artistic precision that personalized cosmetic dentistry requires. The focus was not on creating a smile that looked artificial or overdone. It was about understanding Regina’s features, facial balance, and goals, then designing a result that complemented her naturally. That level of care is part of what sets Cherrywood apart, with advanced cosmetic work guided by the same high standards reflected in AACD-accredited dentistry.

The result is a smile that feels refreshed, balanced, and authentic. You can see the improvement in the shape, harmony, and brightness of her smile, but even more than that, you can see it in her expression. She looks more comfortable, more confident, and more like herself.

Regina’s transformation is a great example of how cosmetic dentistry can do more than change teeth. When it is done with skill and intention, it can restore confidence in a way that feels subtle, refined, and completely personal.

Pros & Cons

While the benefits of having a porcelain veneers far outweigh the associated risks, there are several important things to keep in mind when considering this procedure.

Finally, this is a permanent procedure, so be sure you have selected a color and shape of veneer that you are satisfied with before fully committing.

For starters, this procedure can have a dramatic impact on cosmetic problems that have been making you feel insecure. Also, this is a surefire way to whiten your smile for a long time.

Veneers versus Crowns

When deciding between porcelain veneers or dental crowns, it is important to understand the differences between these approaches and what the benefits are to each. Porcelain veneers are generally used for cosmetic purposes, whereas dental crowns are primarily for patients who want to restore not only appearance, but also functionality.

Be sure to discuss different options for treatment with your hygienist or dentist to decide what procedure is the best fit for you and your dental needs.

Veneer Aftercare

While you will not have to restrict your diet or eating habits to maintain your porcelain veneers, it is a good idea to refrain from chewing on hard substances immediately after the procedure.

Continue practicing good dental hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice daily and continue scheduling dentist appointments every six months.
