Veneers

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

When it comes to efficient solutions for helping you achieve that beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, one of the most popular, effective, and fastest methods is porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are a thin shell of porcelain material (about the thickness of a contact lens) that is permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. Porcelain veneers, in addition to providing you with an instantly brighter smile, can also be shaped and molded to fit the natural contours of your face, adding symmetry and beauty to your overall look.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Your custom-designed porcelain veneer shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, effectively changing the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth for optimal aesthetic appeal. Your new porcelain veneers from the-all-under-one-roof experts at Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics improve your smile with beautiful results that are:

  • natural looking in their appearance
  • durable and long-lasting with
  • stain-resistant
  • quick, easy, and painless
  • self-esteem boosting

What Is the Procedure for Applying Porcelain Veneers?

You’ll be happy to know that the porcelain veneering process can be applied to a single tooth or several teeth quickly and efficiently. Our experienced dental team will ensure that veneers are the right choice for your unique needs as well as take X-rays if needed, and during the process, impressions may also be taken of the teeth and mouth to ensure a proper fitting. After assuring your comfort, we will remove about ½ of a millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface, which is roughly the thickness of the veneer to be applied. Next, we will make an impression of the tooth. The impression is then sent out to a dental lab that constructs the actual veneer. Within two weeks, your custom-crafted veneers will be completed and returned to our offices.

Porcelain Veneers Recovery

Your veneers do not require any specific or special care outside of normal oral hygiene. Although porcelain resists stains, some foods, such as coffee, tea, or red wine may still cause staining and should be avoided.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

Because porcelain veneers are a cosmetic enhancement, they may not be fully covered by dental insurance. Comfort Dental Care and Orthodontics works to provide patients with convenient financing options through CareCredit® and OrthoBanc® to help you defray the cost of important dental treatments such as porcelain veneers via income-based and convenient payment plans.

When your teeth are crooked, crowded, irregularly spaced, out of alignment, or protruding, braces are typically the go-to treatment method to correct them. Available for use on patients of all ages, braces use metal brackets to gradually reposition teeth and ultimately provide a healthier, more attractive smile.

Dental Crowns

Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long-lasting esthetic and functional result.

Dentures

Tooth loss is challenging on many levels. Not only can it affect what you eat and how you chew leading to more serious health concerns, but it can also make you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We want you to be your best self. Dentures may help you get there.

Dental Sealants

Sealants are a thin, protective coating that bonds to the surface of your teeth. When properly applied, sealants can help prevent cavities. Best of all, sealants do not require numbing or drilling and are generally painless. Developed to ward off decay before it affects a tooth, they are most commonly used on those teeth most prone to cavities.

Porcelain Inlays

Porcelain inlays are hard; custom manufactured inserts that are usually placed in larger cavities and areas where there is less tooth structure.

Porcelain Onlays

Porcelain onlays are often referred to as partial crowns, and they are generally placed on your existing tooth as a base and fitted onto the tooth.
