Boca Raton’s Leading Dental Team for Veneers

What Are Veneers?

Your smile impacts your confidence. If you’re dissatisfied with the appearance of your smile, you don’t need to go through life wishing it was different. Veneers are one of several cosmetic dentistry procedures that can enhance your teeth and smile to improve the shape and color of your teeth.

Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells that our cosmetic dentist team can apply to the front of your natural teeth. Your dentist will custom-shape each veneer to blend in with your smile and any teeth you choose to leave untouched.

Veneers enable you to achieve the white, even, gorgeous smile of your dreams. When you choose Boca Dental for your Boca Raton veneers, you benefit from a skilled dental team, the highest quality veneers and state-of-the-art equipment, and the utmost dedication to your comfort and satisfaction.

Who Can Benefit From Veneers?

Veneers can completely transform the appearance of your smile. We usually recommend these treatments for patients at least 18 years old who experience the following dental concerns:

• Stained or discolored teeth
• Gaps between the teeth
• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Teeth that appear too large or too small for the face

How Do Veneers Work?

Veneers are thin, strong shells that bond to the front surface of your teeth. While many composite material veneers exist, our team works mainly with veneers made from durable, high-quality porcelain.

During a veneer treatment, our dental team will shave a thin layer of the tooth’s enamel to ensure that the veneer shell sits flush and natural against the rest of the teeth. We will customize the veneer’s shape, size, and placement to create a symmetrical, natural-looking smile.

Many people apply veneers only to the teeth that show when they smile. Alternatively, if you only have one or two misaligned or chipped teeth, we can apply veneers that blend seamlessly with the natural teeth.

Professionally applied porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years.

What to Expect When You Get Veneers at Boca Dental

The first step in applying veneers is a consultation. Our team will evaluate your teeth and determine whether you are a good candidate for veneers or another cosmetic dentistry treatment.

If you decide to proceed with the veneers, we will shave a thin layer of enamel from the front side of your teeth, then take an impression to customize your veneers to your smile. We may apply temporary veneers while we prepare the permanent versions.

Finally, you will return to our office for your permanent porcelain veneers. We will take great care to ensure that your veneers feel comfortable, look natural, and meet your smile goals. We’ll do a dry run first to determine the proper placement, then cement the veneers to the teeth.

If you have any questions about the veneer process, we’d be happy to answer them. Give us a call or reach out through our WhatsApp.

What Is the Difference Between Crowns and Veneers?

Crowns and veneers are both cosmetic dentistry treatments. Whereas veneers adhere only to the tooth’s front surface, crowns cover the entire tooth to restore tooth decay. Veneers are 1 mm thick, while crowns are 2 mm.

Depending on your existing smile and goals, we may use a combination of veneers and crowns. We strive to enhance oral hygiene and cosmetic appearance throughout our dental procedures.

Are Veneers Durable?

The veneer material and technique used can impact the durability of veneers. In general, veneers are slightly less durable than natural teeth, as your dentist must remove a layer of the tooth structure to apply the veneers. At Boca Dental, we use high-quality porcelain and precise bonding technique to ensure that your veneers last many years.

We also recommend avoiding using your teeth to open or cut things, as doing so can place unnecessary strain on your teeth and damage your veneers.
