Treat Yourself To A Beautiful New Smile

How Do Dental Veneers Work?

Dental veneers consist of ultra-thin shells affixed to the front surfaces of teeth. Depending on the type of veneers chosen, minor enamel removal may precede their placement. Once applied, veneers effectively conceal visible imperfections and can even enhance tooth alignment by adjusting their thickness.

The application process is straightforward, involving tooth preparation followed by secure attachment using a robust dental adhesive.

What Types Of Dental Veneers Are Available?

The primary types of dental veneers encompass porcelain and composite options, both serving as effective means to enhance your smile.

Composite veneers are crafted in-office from tooth-colored resin, and directly applied to teeth. Offering a cost-effective and expedient solution, they effectively conceal various aesthetic concerns.

Porcelain veneers, meticulously tailored to your teeth, are custom-made from porcelain in a specialized laboratory. Once fabricated, these veneers are expertly applied in our dental office to ensure optimal fit and function. Renowned for their durability and natural appearance, porcelain veneers excel in addressing substantial cosmetic issues, including severe staining and misalignment.

How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?

Crafted from premium materials, our veneers are engineered for longevity. Typically, they endure for 10-15 years, but with diligent dental maintenance, they can surpass 20 years of service. Should your veneers require repair or replacement, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with a Metairie dentist to restore your radiant smile.
