Give Your Smile a Cosmetic Boost with Porcelain Veneers
Smiling doesn’t come easy when your teeth are chipped, stained, or out of alignment. Flawed teeth tend to be kept hidden. Hiding your smile, though, isn’t the solution. We can boost your smile’s esthetic appeal with porcelain dental veneers at Wahlen Dentistry. A smile transformation with veneers will give your smile a radiant, youthful appearance! Dr. Jennifer Wahlen is your cosmetic dentist for veneers in Perry, Utah. We’ve compiled these FAQs to provide greater insight into veneer treatment.
How do porcelain veneers work to improve your smile’s appearance?
Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover existing teeth to conceal tooth flaws and enhance their appearance. They’re custom-crafted in a lab from impressions taken of your teeth for a seamless fit. Porcelain veneers are designed to camouflage tooth flaws completely, giving your smile a pleasing, flawless appearance. Once bonded to your teeth, porcelain veneers will permanently become part of your smile, making its transformation complete.
What tooth flaws can porcelain veneers correct?
Through porcelain veneer treatment, Dr. Wahlen and the team can correct problems with:Â
- Chipped and cracked teeth.Â
- Discolored teeth.Â
- Small gaps in your smile.Â
- Misshapen teeth.
- Irregularly sized teeth.
- Slightly misaligned teeth.
How long does veneer treatment take?
Porcelain veneer treatment can generally be completed in two dental visits. On the first visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health to ensure your teeth are healthy enough for veneers. We’ll also assess the problems to be fixed, prep your teeth, and take impressions to send to the lab where your veneers are fabricated. Fabricating veneers can take up to two weeks. When they’re ready, we’ll set up a second appointment to bond them to your teeth.
What are the advantages of dental veneers?
Veneers are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can be completed fairly quickly. The beautiful results, however, can be enjoyed for years! Veneer treatment is also quite versatile, as it can be used to correct multiple problems simultaneously. Veneers can alter your teeth color, shape, and size to give your smile a brighter, fuller, more symmetrical appearance. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and capable of withstanding the constant pressure of biting and chewing. They’re also stain-resistant, enabling your veneers to retain their attractive appearance for years.Â

How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last, on average, up to 10 years before needing an upgrade. You can extend their lifespan by taking good care of your teeth. Good oral hygiene and biannual cleanings will contribute to the long-term health and beauty of your veneers. We also recommend staying away from hard and sticky foods. Â
Who’s a good candidate for veneers?
You may be eligible for porcelain veneers if you maintain good oral hygiene and have dental imperfections that can be corrected with veneers.
