Are you self-conscious about your grin? Do you have chips, cracks, or staining on your teeth that make you want to hide your smile? If so, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with feeling confident in their smile due to dental imperfections.
However, there is a simple and effective solution that can transform your smile and boost your confidence: veneers in Katy, TX. Spring Green Family Dental customizes these thin shells of porcelain or composite resin and applies them directly to the front surface of teeth to improve one’s overall appearance.
From correcting minor flaws to completely revamping a person’s smile, veneers offer countless benefits for those looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their teeth.
The first step is a comprehensive consultation with your dentists, which includes a discussion of your goals, an examination of your teeth, and x-rays. Our dentists will assess whether veneers are suitable for you and create a personalized treatment plan.
Once you’ve committed to veneers, our cosmetic dentists will remove a tiny amount of enamel from the front of the teeth for a natural fit. Then, our dentists takes an impression of your teeth and sends it to our dental lab to create custom veneers that match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.
While you wait for your permanent veneers to be made, temporary veneers may be placed on your prepared teeth to protect your teeth and help you get used to the feeling of veneers.
When your custom veneers are ready, you will return to our Katy, TX, dental office for a fitting. Our dentists will place the veneers on your teeth to check their fit and color. If necessary, we’ll make minor adjustments to ensure the veneers look seamless.
Our dentists will clean and polish your teeth to prepare for the bonding process. Next, dental cement is applied to the back of the veneers, and the veneers are placed on top of your teeth. Then, we apply a curing light to harden the cement, securing the veneers in place.
After the bonding process, the dentists may make any final adjustments to ensure your bite is correct and the veneers are comfortable. Also, we strongly suggest scheduling a follow-up appointment to ensure that you’re satisfied with your results.
Veneers are a long-term solution, but they are not necessarily permanent. With proper care, veneers can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. However, they may eventually need to be replaced due to wear and tear.
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains. However, composite resin veneers may stain over time, much like natural teeth. Limiting the consumption of staining substances like red wine, coffee, and tobacco can help maintain the appearance of your veneers.
Although veneers are much more accessible than before, not everyone is a candidate—generally, individuals with healthy teeth and gums who wish to correct minor cosmetic issues. Our dentists will evaluate your oral health and help determine if veneers are the right option for you.
If a veneer falls off or becomes damaged, contact your dentists immediately to schedule an emergency dental appointment. A dislodged or broken veneer can usually be reattached or replaced. It's important not to attempt to fix it yourself to avoid further damage.
Our Katy, TX, dentists offers custom sports mouthguards to help prevent dental trauma, such as broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and cuts to the lips or tongue, thereby ensuring athletes can play safely and confidently.
With coveted versatility and natural-looking results, it’s no wonder why veneers are such a popular cosmetic dental treatment. It’s time to say goodbye to self-consciousness and hello to a brighter, more confident version of yourself. Go ahead, take that leap of faith, and get ready to show off your new Hollywood-worthy smile! Contact Spring Green Family Dental today to schedule a consultation for veneers in Katy, TX.
