Three Reasons Why Porcelain Veneers Are Worth It

Porcelain veneers are a great way to transform your smile without an invasive procedure in a relatively short amount of time. Not only do they provide an immediate boost to your appearance, but veneers also last for years with proper care. Dr. Levi Evalt can provide more information about dental veneers and what to expect when you attend a consultation in Corry, PA.

Dr. Levi Evalt Dental Excellence is proud to offer porcelain veneers as a quality cosmetic dentistry option. Below, we’ll discuss three reasons why veneers are considered well worth the investment, both in terms of time and money.

1. Cover a wide range of dental imperfections

Porcelain veneers are made from materials that resemble the color, translucency, and light-reflecting properties of natural enamel. They cover the front surfaces of your teeth so mild to moderate cosmetic issues are hidden from view.

Ideal candidates for veneers have no underlying dental issues, such as decay or gum disease, and are looking to improve the overall aesthetics of their smile. Here are some common issues we conceal with dental veneers:

• Small gaps between teeth
• Chipped, worn-down, or broken teeth
• Discoloration or stains
• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Worn-down enamel
• Unevenly shaped teeth

2. Treatment is quick and minimally invasive

With porcelain veneers, you can enjoy a stunning transformation with very little effort. Dr. Levi Evalt Dental Excellence begins the process with a consultation, where we confirm your candidacy for cosmetic dentistry. Your teeth should be healthy enough to fully support the veneers.

The next step involves carefully preparing your teeth. Dr. Evalt will take detailed digital or physical impressions of your mouth, which are sent to a dental lab for fabrication. Technicians then fashion the veneers using high-quality porcelain materials. Patients only wait a short period for the veneers to be completed.

Once the dental veneers are ready, Dr. Evalt removes a small amount of your enamel to accommodate the veneers and then bonds them directly to your teeth. Small adjustments may be made to ensure a comfortable feel.

3. See results that last for years

Porcelain veneers are not a permanent fixture but should last for ten years or longer with proper care. We recommend brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and rinsing your mouth after every meal. Veneers don't require any special attention — simply clean them like your own natural teeth.

Although veneers are durable, patients should avoid using their teeth as tools. Avoid chewing on ice, hard candy, or objects that can chip the porcelain. We also recommend wearing a mouth guard when playing contact sports. Remember to book regular checkups with Dr. Evalt so your veneers can stay healthy and beautiful long-term.
