PORCELAIN VENEERS & NO-PREP VENEERS

Porcelain Veneers and No-Prep Veneers

Do you wish your smile looked completely different, perhaps like your favorite celebrity with a white, perfect row of teeth? Or do you have one or two teeth that stand out against your otherwise beautiful pearly whites? 

Veneers and no-prep veneers are one way that we can give you a smile makeover that makes your face glow with confidence.

How Tooth Veneers Work

Typically made of porcelain, veneers are thin, durable shells that completely cover the front of the tooth (or teeth) along with any imperfections. Because they provide a front cover over the natural tooth structure, they can hide several imperfections and flaws with a single treatment.

• Minor gaps between teeth
• Worn down or short teeth
• Stained or dark-looking teeth
• Asymmetrical teeth or off-center mid-line
• Irregular teeth
• Chipped and damaged teeth
• Slight misalignment
  

For indirect porcelain veneers, we work closely with  dental lab that specializes in this kind of work, to ensure that your smile looks just like you imagined it in your mind. And as an added benefit, we can  even test-drive your new smile before we order the final veneers to make sure that you love what you see in the mirror.

Direct Composite No-Prep Veneers

Unlike porcelain veneers, our direct composite veneers are a custom work of art designed by Dr. Mathew right here in our Oconee, GA dental office. Using moldable and flowable composite material – the same we use for fillings and bonding – Dr. Mathew can shape and design each tooth to look gorgeous and natural. 

One of the main benefits of this type of in-office veneer is that they do not require Dr. Mathew to alter the surface of your natural teeth, which means that they are actually reversible! One reason many patients opt not to have traditional veneers is that we must remove a small layer of enamel to make space for the veneer, so they don’t look bulky. When Dr. Mathew creates them right here in our dental office, she adds to the existing tooth structure, and they can always be removed later to alter, replace, or eliminate them.

What Does My Bite Have to Do with It?

As with any dental restoration, an even and balanced bite will extend the longevity of your investment. When the teeth each support their fair share of the load caused by chewing, it prevents one or several teeth from hitting hard, which can knock off or chip your new dentistry.

As an additional precaution, a nightguard can protect your new smile from the damage of nighttime clenching or tooth grinding.
