All About Porcelain Veneers in Old Bridge

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers made of porcelain may also be referred to as veneers porcelain to distinguish them from those made of composite materials. Porcelain closely resembles natural tooth enamel, which makes it a popular choice for these dental applications. A veneer consists of a very thin layer of material that can cover up imperfections in teeth caused by a variety of dental issues:

• Tooth decay and stains caused by foods, drinks, and tobacco use can cause discoloration of your teeth. A veneer can cover the areas of discoloration to create a more uniformly white and attractive look for your teeth.
• Chips and small cracks in your teeth may not require added structural support. Veneers can be used to cover these problem areas and to restore your smile to its original beauty.
• For some of our patients at Old Bridge, veneers can be a good solution for teeth that have become uneven because of habitual grinding of the teeth at night. Veneers can present an even and attractive smile for patients with these minor issues.
• Veneers can even be used to correct minor misalignments or small gaps in teeth to help you look your very best.

Do I Need Porcelain Crowns or Veneers?

In general, if you have serious structural damage to your teeth that also represents a cosmetic issue, a crown may be the best option for you. The support offered by these porcelain teeth can make a big difference in the function of your teeth and in your appearance. For minor cosmetic issues, however, veneers are a more affordable option that can restore your teeth and can enhance your smile.

How Much Do Porcelain Veneers Cost?

Concerns about porcelain veneers cost may be holding you back from exploring these cosmetic issues. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic treatments that may not be covered by your dental plan. Our team at Old Bridge Dental will work with you to find the best and most affordable ways to address your treatment needs. We offer payment plans for qualified patients to take some of the stress off your budget and to make our veneers as affordable as possible for you and your family.

The Porcelain Veneers Procedure

After your initial consultation with our team, we will measure your teeth and fabricate veneers precisely designed to cover the visible surfaces. This will typically take a few weeks, during which you may have an appointment to prepare your teeth to accept the veneers. This may include a thorough teeth cleaning, polishing, and etching to create the right surface for the dental adhesive. Once your veneers arrive, we will check the fit and will apply the veneers to your teeth. This simple process can provide you with added confidence in social situations and can help you show off brighter smiles for many years into the future.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

With proper care and treatment in Old Bridge Dental, your dental veneers can potentially last for as long as your natural teeth do. This can allow you to consider veneers as a permanent solution for creating a more beautiful and uniform smile for yourself and for other members of your family.
