If you're looking into porcelain teeth veneers near you, you may be wondering what the benefits of them are. At Made Ya Smile, our team offers realistic white veneer teeth to help you enhance your smile and create a look you love. Some of the most common benefits of porcelain veneers are:

• Easy, fast, and comfortable treatment process
• Creates a brighter, whiter smile
• Enhances the appearance of your smile
• Durable, stain-resistant, and long-lasting
• Natural-looking
• Cared for just like normal teeth

Porcelain veneers are customized to match your individual smile and cosmetic concerns. These aesthetic restorations can mask cosmetic flaws, like misshapen or uneven teeth, tooth stains or discoloration, slightly misaligned teeth, small spaces between teeth, and chipped or worn biting edges. Porcelain veneers are often placed in sets of two or more on teeth that appear in the smile zone of the mouth. Both top veneers and bottom veneers can be placed in the mouth. These restorations are custom-crafted to fit over the front surfaces of your teeth. Dental veneers require a healthy oral environment to be successful and may not be recommended if you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth (bruxism). During your treatment consultation, we will evaluate the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw and talk with you to learn your preferences and goals for how you want your smile to look. Our cosmetic dentists will design the exact shape, size, and length to best fit your jaw, smile, and facial appearance. We can also help you choose the shade of your porcelain veneers to generate a natural-looking yet highly aesthetic result.

Porcelain veneers in Houston, TX, offer a minimally invasive approach to smile repair. On the day of your porcelain veneer procedure, our doctors will administer local anesthetic, if needed, to keep you comfortable. Prepping teeth for veneers starts by removing a small portion of the enamel on the front surfaces and between the teeth where your veneers will be placed. This creates the space necessary for a comfortable and aesthetic fit. Impressions of your mouth will then be taken and sent to our lab for the fabrication of your restorations. Our lab uses only high-grade porcelain to create your custom veneers. Your veneers will take about a week or two to make — so in the meantime, we will place temporary restorations to hold their place and maintain function and appearance of your smile. Once your veneers are finished and sent to our office, we will bring you back in and bond them permanently in place. Our dentists will make any adjustments needed for a comfortable bite and polish your new smile for a smooth, bright, and natural-looking finish.

Having porcelain veneers placed does not typically require much of a recovery period, and you should be able to go about your normal routine that day. If you received anesthetic for your procedure, you should wait to eat until the feeling fully returns to your mouth. You may notice a little tooth sensitivity to cold and hot temperatures in the few days after your procedure; however, this should resolve. By nature, porcelain veneers tend to be stain-resistant. But to keep your smile white and bright, it may be a good idea to minimize your consumption of foods and beverages that may cause staining. Porcelain veneers are highly durable, but we urge you to avoid chewing on ice, pens, fingernails, or other hard objects as this could damage your porcelain restorations. You can care for your porcelain veneers just like your natural tooth structure by brushing and flossing thoroughly each day. At your bi-annual cleaning and checkup visits at Made Ya Smile Dental, our dentists will evaluate your veneers and let you know if they need to be repaired or replaced over time. With proper care, your porcelain veneers can last for many years.

Porcelain veneers are typically regarded as a cosmetic procedure. As such, your dental insurance may not provide much coverage for this treatment. To be certain, we will contact your provider to learn about your veneers cost. Any out-of-pocket expenses will be reviewed before starting your procedure. Made Ya Smile Dental offers several convenient methods of payment to help make cosmetic dental care more affordable, including low-interest financing plans. We can also work with you and help you find financial solutions that fit comfortably within your budget.

Are there any foods I can't eat with porcelain veneers?

When you get veneers, we suggest you avoid foods that are hard (like ice, raw fruit and veggies, or hard candy), foods that are sticky (like caramel or taffy), and foods that can stain the teeth (like berries, tomatoes, and coffee).

Can I still get cavities with porcelain veneers?

Your veneers cannot get cavities, but the teeth underneath them can. It's vital to maintain a good oral routine to keep your teeth healthy.

Do I have to change my daily oral health routine?

One of the great things about veneers is that you do not have to change your daily brushing and flossing routine. You can brush your veneers just as normal teeth. It's important to maintain your daily dental habits as well as your routine visits to our Houston, TX office to maintain the health and integrity of the teeth underneath and surrounding your veneers.
