Questions About Porcelain Veneers

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are custom porcelain laminates made for your front teeth. They are created to change the shape, color, position, and/or size of your front teeth. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant, and they are a great option for people who want to correct their teeth to achieve that great smile they've always dreamed of.

What problems can porcelain veneers correct?

Porcelain veneers can be used to correct many problems in your front teeth including:

Are porcelain veneers permanent?

Porcelain veneers are not permanent. They last for an average of five to ten years. Excessive pressure such as grinding your teeth can reduce the life of the porcelain veneers.

How are porcelain veneers created?

Indianapolis cosmetic dentist Dr. Mike Deldar will start by taking an impression of your teeth. Once the impression is completed, the mold is sent to a lab where your porcelain veneers are created. To make your porcelain veneers look great and fit perfectly in your mouth, Dr. Deldar will remove a tiny amount of enamel from your teeth. Sometimes your gums also need to be reshaped in order to make the porcelain veneers match up perfectly with your gums. While you are waiting for your porcelain veneers to be created in the lab, Dr. Deldar will give you a set of temporary veneers. Remember that these are temporary and won't match up as perfectly as your permanent veneers that come from the lab.

When your porcelain veneers arrive, Dr. Deldar will bond them to your teeth. Once this procedure is completed, you can go home and enjoy your perfect new smile. Your teeth may feel sensitive for a few days after receiving the porcelain veneers; however, after that short time period, the porcelain veneers will just feel as though they are a part of your normal teeth.

How much do porcelain veneers cost?

The cost of porcelain veneers varies depending on how many teeth are involved in the procedure.
