What Are Veneers and How Do They Work?
Veneers are ultra-thin, tooth-colored shells bonded to the front of your teeth. These custom-made enhancements are designed to fix chips, stains, worn enamel, and other imperfections. Many patients choose veneers in Anchorage to achieve a brighter, more even smile without surgery or braces.
The Process
The process of getting porcelain veneers at Emerald Peak Dental usually takes two visits to our office:
1. Preparation
We will prepare your teeth for the veneers during your first visit by removing a small amount of enamel. We will then take impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental laboratory to create your custom veneers.
2. Placement
During your second visit, your tooth will be lightly buffed and cleaned, then we’ll use an adhesive to place the veneers on your teeth, ensuring they fit correctly and look natural. We will also provide instructions on how to care for your veneers to ensure their longevity.
Why You Should Get Porcelain Veneers
There are many benefits of porcelain veneers, including:
Natural Appearance
Veneers offer a minimally invasive method of significantly improving your smile with a natural look.
Durability
Porcelain veneers are strong and durable, lasting many years with proper care.
Reduced Sensitivity
Veneers cover the tooth surface, making your teeth less susceptible to sensitivity.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Veneers can conceal gaps between teeth and correct irregularities in your smile.
