What are veneers?

You can achieve a straighter, brighter, and more even smile with veneers – thin shells made of porcelain, resin, or ceramic that your dentist adheres to the surface of your teeth. The team at Woodlands Elite Dental Partners customizes your veneers to replicate the natural color and shape of your existing teeth.

Whether your teeth are stained, chipped, broken, or misaligned, veneers are a great option to give you a bright and beautiful smile. 

What are the benefits of veneers?

Veneers come with many benefits. Some of the many reasons that dentists frequently recommend veneers are that they:

• Improve the appearance of your smile 
• Correct chipped, broken, misaligned, gapped, and severely stained teeth 
• Are resistant to stains 
• Look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth
• Last for at least a decade (or longer)

In addition, veneers are a relatively inexpensive cosmetic dentistry procedure. You can stay within budget and achieve a beautiful smile at the same time.

What should I expect when getting veneers?

The dentists at Woodlands Elite Dental Partners talk you through the multi-step process so that you understand what the procedure entails and what results you can achieve. 

First, your dentist uses a file to shave off a paper-thin layer of enamel. This is to prepare the surface, so your new veneers adhere well. 

Next, your provider makes an impression of your teeth and sends the results to the lab to create your veneers. When the veneers are ready, you’ll return to Woodlands Elite Dental Partners for the application process. Once you are comfortable in the chair, your provider fits each veneer over each of your designated teeth and bonds them firmly in place using a special cement. 

How do I care for my new veneers?

You’ll care for your new veneers like your other teeth. Brush and floss daily, don’t chew on ice or hard candy, and steer clear of sugary drinks and foods that can wreak havoc on your oral health. Make sure to keep up with twice yearly dental cleanings, too. 

By taking good care of your veneers, you can expect them to last up to 15 years.
