What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain designed to create a natural-looking tooth. Working with an experienced dentist like Dr. Gatgens at Accent Smile Center in Nashville is crucial.
A porcelain veneer is a delicate ceramic shell that mimics natural enamel and conceals chipped or damaged teeth. The materials used for these veneers are durable and stronger than natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers offer greater strength and resilience than natural enamel. Generally, they are a long-lasting alternative to bonding, depending on a person’s habits and potential trauma.
These veneers reflect light like natural teeth, making cosmetically enhanced teeth indistinguishable from the rest. Porcelain veneers are custom-made in a dental lab to perfectly match your teeth and enhance your smile.
They do not stain and require no special maintenance. You can brush, floss, and care for them just like natural teeth.
Porcelain veneers can dramatically transform a smile, making you want to show off your pearly whites. They are popular among celebrities and those desiring a perfect smile. An experienced dentist can provide you with natural-looking results.
The Process
You'll visit our Dickson or Belle Meade office near Nashville for an initial examination. During this appointment, we'll take detailed notes on the size, shape, and color of your other teeth.
These records are sent to a licensed dental ceramist who crafts your porcelain veneers to blend seamlessly with your smile. Once your veneers are ready, we’ll invite you back to the office for placement.
A team member will shade a dental composite to match your enamel and use it to permanently attach your porcelain veneers. Those with porcelain veneers can eat and drink normally as they are designed to last.
Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and won’t darken over time like natural teeth. If you're considering professional teeth whitening, please discuss this during your first consultation. This allows us to create veneers that match your bright, new smile.
