Dental veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment used to improve the shape, structure, and color of a patient’s smile. Veneers are thin shells made of either porcelain or ceramic that attach to the front of natural teeth, transforming their appearance to create a perfect smile. In this article, we’ll talk more about two types of dental veneers, the process of getting them, and whether or not they’re right for you! If you have any questions about dental veneers or if you’re a resident of the Greater Boston area that is considering dental veneers, contact our team of cosmetic dental specialists at Boston Dental to schedule an appointment or book a virtual consultation!

The Ceramic Dental Veneer Process

The process of getting ceramic dental veneers starts by simply contacting a cosmetic dentist like our team at Boston Dental to schedule a consultation. At your dental veneers consultation, you’ll be given an examination and x-rays to determine if veneers are a good option for you. If it’s determined that you’re a good candidate for dental veneers, the process will start by taking impressions of your teeth so that your veneers can be custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. At your next visit, after your custom veneers have been created, your dentist will work with you to check to ensure that the color, shape, size, and fit of your veneers works for your teeth. Once your veneers are looking exactly like you pictured them, your dentist will permanently bond them to the front of your teeth using dental cement. After any final adjustments have been made to account for your bite and ideal appearance, your brand new smile will be ready to show off to the world! Ceramic dental veneers are durable and long-lasting, making them an ideal choice for patients of all kinds!

The Composite Resin Dental Veneer Process

The composite resin veneer process starts by working with your dentist to select the shade of white that you desire. The dentist will then begin to sculpt the veneers onto the front of your teeth to achieve a perfect, natural-looking smile that you’ll be ready to show off in no time! A special light will then be used to completely harden the composite resin veneers in just minutes. Finally, your new veneers will be polished so that they mimic the natural appearance of your teeth, ensuring that they blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile. One of the primary advantages of composite resin veneers is that they do not require custom veneers to be made in a lab and can often be done in as little as one visit to your dentist. 

Am I A Good Candidate For Dental Veneers?

If you are someone that would like to boost your confidence by improving the look of your smile, dental veneers could be a great option for you! Veneers can be the perfect solutions for misshapen teeth, teeth with large gaps between them, discolored teeth, uneven teeth, and more. Some factors that can lower your chances of being a good candidate for dental veneers include major damage to your natural teeth, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, grinding habits, and poor oral hygiene.
