Best Candidates
Cosmetic veneers can be used to instantly hide chips and stains on your enamel, improve slightly misaligned or worn-down teeth, and repair teeth that are unevenly shaped or spaced. Though veneers are very thin restorations, they still bring durability and longevity to minimally invasive smile repair treatment. At Orlando Advanced Dentists, your all-ceramic Empress veneers will be custom made to fit comfortably over your teeth for an attractive and natural look.
During your smile consultation, Dr. Roach will listen to your goals and expectations so that she can customize your treatment and deliver exceptional cosmetic results. Porcelain veneers work best when the underlying teeth and surrounding gums are healthy and when you do not habitually clench your jaw and grind your teeth (called bruxism). Dr. Roach will also determine if you are a good candidate for cosmetic veneers by analyzing your overall oral health and will use smile design techniques to expertly plan the shape, size, contour, and color of your veneers.
What To Expect
Utilizing her advanced expertise in smile design and refined artistic abilities, Dr. Roach will uniquely plan your all-ceramic veneer treatment to help optimize your smile results. As a well-trained cosmetic dentist, she can create porcelain veneers to look natural by incorporating characterization techniques for each restoration so that the overall effect of your cosmetic veneers complements your facial features and enhances your appearance. On the day of your procedure, Dr. Roach will prepare your teeth to receive veneers by removing a thin layer of enamel from each tooth and then take dental impressions of your prepared teeth. A set of temporary veneers will be attached to your teeth to maintain function and aesthetics while your permanent veneers are being crafted by a quality dental lab.
When your restorations arrive at our office, Dr. Roach will personalize your ceramic veneers right from our in-house dental lab to meet your specific smile expectations and desires. When your custom veneers are ready, typically about a week later, we will have you return to our practice to have your custom veneers bonded permanently in place. We use a special, lab-tested bonding technique that helps bring the best possible result and longevity to your ceramic veneers. Once your veneers are securely attached, Dr. Roach will make minor adjustments so your veneers fit well and feel like a natural part of your smile.
Recovery
Since getting veneers usually does not require anesthesia, you should be able to get back to your daily activities following your procedure. You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold food for a few days, but this should subside naturally. Your veneers should be cleaned just like your natural teeth with frequent brushing and flossing. While porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains compared to your natural enamel, you should still minimize the consumption of foods and drinks that may cause stains to keep your smile bright. To keep from chipping your Empress veneers, it is best to avoid chewing or biting on hard objects, such as ice or your fingernails. We encourage you to maintain routine dental exams and cleanings at Orlando Advanced Dentists so that Dr. Roach can monitor the condition of your cosmetic ceramic veneers, teeth, and overall oral health. She and our team will let you know if your porcelain veneers need to be repaired or replaced in the future. Porcelain veneers can last for up to ten years or more when they receive proper oral care and attention.
