Porcelain Veneers Procedure in Boynton Beach FL Area

Do you love your smile? Or are you keeping it hidden due to flawed teeth? Hiding your smile won’t make things better. Porcelain veneers, however, will. Cosmetic veneers are one of the quickest, easiest ways to make tooth flaws disappear. Dr. Jamie Alexander is your go-to cosmetic dentist for veneers in the Boynton Beach, Florida, area. Here, Dr. Alexander and his staff respond to your inquiries regarding veneers so you may determine if they’re a good fit for you.

What are veneers?

Veneers are specially made porcelain shells that cover your teeth’s flaws to improve the appearance of your smile. They’re bonded to existing teeth to make your smile appear brighter, healthier, and more aesthetically pleasing.

Who should consider porcelain veneers?

If your smile isn’t to your liking due to cosmetic defects in your teeth, Dr. Alexander can change it for the better with veneers. Veneers can be used to correct issues such as:

Cracks or chips in the teeth
Stains or discolorations
Gaps between teeth
Slightly crooked or uneven teeth
Short, thin, or misshapen teeth
Odd-sized teeth
A gummy smile

Veneers can make your flawed smile a picture of health and beauty in just two visits to our dental clinic.

What is the porcelain veneer process like?

The simplicity of veneer treatment is one of its charms. Dental surgery or extensive preparation are not necessary for veneers. A thin enamel layer is removed from the original teeth before attaching veneers. Dental impressions of your teeth are used to make porcelain veneers at an off-site lab. As the process can take a week or two, Dr. Alexander will put temporary veneers in place to protect your teeth during the interim period. When your porcelain veneers are prepared, we will complete the veneers procedure by replacing the temporary veneers with permanent veneers.

Is it possible to reverse the porcelain veneer procedure?

No. It is impossible to undo the process of removing tooth enamel to make room for veneers. To maintain the appealing appearance of your smile, you will need to keep renewing your veneers.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

That depends on your oral care habits. With good oral care, porcelain veneers can last up to 15 years before needing to be replaced. Fortunately, veneer aftercare is fairly simple. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine cleaning at our clinic will keep your veneered teeth looking their best for years. You can extend the lifespan of veneers by not chewing on ice, not using your teeth like tools, and wearing a night guard if you have a problem with teeth grinding.

Are there food restrictions with veneers?

Although porcelain veneers are hardy, they’re not indestructible. You can chip or crack your restorations by biting down on hard foods. Dr. Alexander also recommends avoiding sticky foods like taffy or caramel, which can cause your veneers to lose.
