Minor tooth flaws no longer have to keep you from smiling! Cosmetic teeth veneers can easily correct imperfections like chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and misshapen teeth. A visit to Dr. Melanie Farzam from Orion Dental Specialties in Cypress, Texas, can determine if veneers are a viable option for you. For your convenience, we serve residents in Katy, Texas, and the surrounding communities. Here are some questions we’re often asked about veneer treatment.
Veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-shaped coverings that can be placed over teeth to improve their appearance. They can cover teeth that are stained, chipped, cracked, gapped, or ill-proportioned to make your smile appear flawless.Ā
Dr. Farzam will examine your teeth to ensure they’re healthy enough for veneers. Then, we’ll assess your smile, discuss the areas you’d like to change, and plan your treatment. We’ll remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth to make room for veneers. Your porcelain restorations will be custom-crafted in a lab using impressions taken of your teeth to ensure they match your natural teeth perfectly. When they’re ready, we’ll bond the veneers to your teeth to perfect your smile’s appearance.Ā Ā
Veneers work by concealing cosmetic defects in teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. They can conceal minor tooth damage, like chips and cracks, and cover stains that don’t respond well to teeth whitening. Dr. Farzam may recommend veneers to close small tooth gaps, lengthen short teeth, or widen thin teeth. Veneers can also improve the size and shape of irregular teeth to make your smile more uniform.
Cosmetic dentistry offers an array of treatment options, some of which are invasive and lengthy. That’s not the case with veneers. The process is quick and simple and can often be completed in two dental visits. There’s also not a lot of prep work with veneers other than removing a small amount of enamel from existing teeth. The rest of your tooth structure stays intact. Another advantage is customization. Dr. Farzam can tailor your treatment to your unique dental needs to achieve your desired beautiful results.
No, veneers get the same care as natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing with non-abrasive toothpaste will keep your veneers in good condition. You should also see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. Porcelain veneers are tough but not indestructible. To avoid chipping or cracking your veneers prematurely, we strongly recommend you avoid chewing on ice, gnawing on pencils and pens, and eating hard foods. With diligent care, your veneers can last up to 15 years.
