Take a Look at How Veneers Are Placed
Your dentist will remove a small amount of enamel before veneer placement. This allows the porcelain veneer to fit properly and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth when it is bonded to the tooth.
Understanding Dental Veneers
Many patients confuse veneers with restorations designed to improve the health and function of your smile, such as dental crowns, full-arch dentures, and dental implants. Porcelain veneers are purely cosmetic in nature. They do not replace missing teeth and do not address issues like tooth decay or severe damage. If you have significant or complete tooth loss or require dental treatments such as root canals or tooth extractions, dental veneers are not right for you. However, you can still have a full, beautiful smile. Our dentist provides comprehensive general and restorative dentistry treatments, including dental implant placement, to help you restore your oral health and function.

Intraoral Cameras

The Porcelain Veneer Procedure From Start to Finish
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my veneers last?
Veneers are made with durable material, and with proper care and maintenance, they can last for up to 15 years or more. It is important to remember that the porcelain will wear over time and will eventually need to be replaced. Once your teeth are altered, you will always require a restoration like a veneer to protect the tooth structure.
Is there a limit to how many veneers I can have placed?
While there is no limit as long as your teeth are healthy, veneers are only suitable for anterior teeth. If you have a damaged molar, a dental crown may be the best dentistry treatment as they are designed to withstand the bite force that back teeth endure.
How do I care for my porcelain veneers?
Caring for your veneers is simple. Brush and floss as you normally would, with a soft-bristled brush and nonabrasive toothpaste. Do not use your teeth as a tool to open packages or bite your nails. Be mindful of hard foods and try to bite or chew things like raw vegetables with teeth that do not have a veneer on them.
What do I do if my dental veneer falls off?
If your veneer falls off and is not damaged, your dentist may be able to bond it back to the tooth. Place it in a protective container and contact our Saratoga Springs office so we can fit you in promptly.
