Porcelain Veneers

If this sounds familiar, we would love to help you assess your needs and discuss options with you. For issues such as these, we often utilize porcelain veneer restorations to give you a beautiful smile. We can even show you examples of the final outcome before any work begins.

Porcelain veneers can often provide an entirely new and stunning smile in just a few visits to our Tyler, Texas, dental office.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are tooth-shaped porcelain shells placed over your natural teeth to change the appearance of your smile. Dental veneers are very thin, and they reflect light in a natural way, giving you a more attractive smile while letting the real you shine through. At our Tyler-area office, Dr. Tad Morgan has performed countless procedures using porcelain veneers with excellent results. Want to have a look? Check out our smile gallery.

Why Are Porcelain Veneers Popular?

There are many reasons why porcelain veneering is so popular. First, beautiful porcelain veneers give quick results for your smile. Second, with proper care, they last forever. Unlike other types of cosmetic dentistry, porcelain-veneered teeth will not chip, crack, stain or wear down. Third, because they are made from porcelain, they match your natural teeth perfectly and blend in with your smile, giving you a great look.

The Porcelain Veneer Treatment

Before your veneers are applied, your tooth surface is prepared. It is shaved down slightly to create a rough surface for your new layer of enamel to adhere to. Then, the veneers are applied.

Veneers are applied directly to the surface of your teeth. They are bonded to your natural tooth enamel by special materials that allow them to be permanently attached. Once on, they protect your teeth from further damage and improve the overall appearance of your smile.

The actual treatment usually requires only two visits. The amount of pre-operative visits needed to determine specifics and make certain predictable outcomes depends upon how complex your situation is and what changes you would like to see. There usually is a post-operative check-in appointment or two to review the final results and make any last-minute adjustments. Dr. Morgan will also discuss ways to care for your new dream smile so it can last for decades.

The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneer treatments can really improve the appearance of your teeth. They’re especially useful for covering minor dental imperfections like:

• Crooked teeth
• Gaps
• Stains and discolorations
• Worn-down teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Chips

Can Anyone Get Dental Veneers?

Most people are good candidates for veneers, but before the veneer process begins, we will want to make sure your teeth are healthy and you have no underlying dental issues. Your dentist may recommend additional tests if there’s reason to believe your teeth aren’t strong enough to hold the veneers. It’s important to us that you have not only a beautiful smile, but also a healthy smile.

Myths About Porcelain Veneers

While this cosmetic procedure is popular, there are some myths surrounding the treatment. Some common myths include:

Myth #1: You need perfect teeth to get veneers.

This is simply untrue! We use veneers to cover up flaws in your smile. If you have crooked teeth, chipped teeth or gaps between your teeth, veneers can help hide these problems.

Myth #2: Veneers damage your teeth.

We’ve found that most patients don’t notice any difference at all after their veneers are placed. In fact, our patients often say that they feel more confident about smiling with their veneers than ever before.

Myth #3: Veneers won’t last.

In reality, porcelain veneers are one of the strongest restorative options available today. Because they are bonded to the outermost layers of your teeth, they are virtually impossible to break or chip. And because they are made from durable porcelain, they will never wear away over time.
