Do you have cosmetically crooked teeth? Are you looking for a way to create a brighter, straighter smile? Dental veneers are cosmetic dental solutions that can change the shape and color of teeth. Porcelain ceramic veneers are ultra-thin shells that cover discolored and damaged teeth.
Because porcelain veneers are made using high-quality ceramic, they can be customized to blend in with the natural appearance of your smile. At Sea of Pearls Dental Boutique, we provide porcelain veneers to patients needing to restore damaged teeth or desiring a smile makeover in East Cobb, Georgia.
Porcelain Veneers in East Cobb, GA
To begin veneer treatment, Dr. Lemoine will prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of the tooth enamel. Preparing teeth ensures that the veneers do not look or feel bulky. Once she prepares the teeth, Dr. Lemoine takes dental impressions. She sends these impressions to a dental lab that creates the veneers out of porcelain ceramic.
Then, Dr. Lemoine will apply temporary veneers to protect your teeth. When the veneers are complete, she ensures the veneers are in the correct shape, size, and color. Finally, she uses a bonding material and a special light to cure the veneers on each tooth.
Dental Veneer FAQs
Discover more about veneer treatments with answers to these commonly asked questions.
Am I a candidate for veneers?
Before treatment, Dr. Lemoine ensures that patients have no dental infections or signs of decay. Patients with healthy teeth are the best candidates for treatment. She also recommends veneers for patients who do not clench or grind their teeth. Bruxism can wear down and damage veneers. Finally, patients will need sufficient natural tooth enamel for veneers. Dr. Lemoine recommends dental bonding or tooth crowns if patients have severely broken or worn teeth.
How long do dental veneers last?
With the right care, dental veneers can last for many years. Immediately after you receive your veneers, avoid staining foods and beverages, including coffee, tea, wine, tomatoes, and berries. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent damage to the veneers.
What is the cost of dental veneers?
Every patient will require a different number of veneers for their smile. Your veneers’ number, placement, and material will impact treatment costs. During your consultation with Dr. Lemoine, she will discuss your treatment with you, including the estimated cost and care.
Can you whiten dental veneers?
No, we cannot whiten veneers or other cosmetic or restorative treatments. However, if you have old or stained veneers, we can create replacement veneers for you. Dental veneers themselves can brighten the look of stained or discolored teeth. We often recommend veneers for patients with deep tooth stains or intrinsic stains that cannot be removed with whitening treatments.
