What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Have you ever leafed through a magazine or watched a film and noticed the “celebrity teeth?” They are flawless—symmetrical, bright, with an excellent tooth-to-gum ratio. They look natural but beautiful. Chances are good you were looking at porcelain veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin but durable tooth-colored shells that fit across the front of your teeth. They are customized to match your smile in shape and color, and you can choose as many veneers as you would like to enhance your smile, concentrating on the smile line or the teeth that show when you grin and laugh.
Your Fort Collins, CO dentist relies on porcelain because the material can be polished and shaded to look just like your teeth. It is also strong and dependable.
Because we bond porcelain veneers to your teeth, after removing a bit of porcelain to encourage an even flush with your surrounding teeth, they are considered a permanent restoration.

Dental Veneers Hide a Multitude of Smile Flaws

Porcelain veneers are versatile because they are thin, tooth-shaped shells of porcelain that we place on the front surfaces of teeth to conceal aesthetic flaws. Since we customize veneers to any shape, shade, and size we need, they address a wide range of smile flaws:
The great thing about veneers is that you may only need one or two to restore the balance and harmony of your smile. Or, if you want a dramatic celebrity-style smile makeover, a full set of veneers will help you achieve that red-carpet look you’ve dreamed of.
Imagine feeling confident during that big job interview or just going about town with a smile that is the envy of passersby.

Two Visits to Your Dream Smile

You won’t believe how great your smile will look, and we can typically complete the process of placing new dental veneers at our dental office in two appointments:

During the first appointment, Dr. Humbert prepares the teeth he’s treating by removing a thin layer of dental enamel to ensure that the shell flushes with your gums and is not bulky.
Next, we’ll select the perfect shape and color of white for your veneers, so they blend seamlessly with your smile. Some patients decide to have professional teeth whitening before placement, which allows them to choose a lighter veneer shade—veneers will not lighten with teeth whitening therapy.
We take impressions of the prepared teeth to create temporary veneers and a model that we send to a custom dental lab where skilled technicians artfully craft your new veneers.
When your veneers come back from the lab in about two weeks, you’ll return to our office, so Dr. Humbert can check them for fit, make adjustments as necessary, and bond the porcelain shells securely to your teeth.

That’s all there is to it! Isn’t it exciting to think that you can achieve your dream smile that easily? You won’t believe the stunning results and how a more confident smile can change your entire outlook on life!
Our patients in Fort Collins and the surrounding communities have been thrilled with their new smiles.

Porcelain Veneers Following Bruxism and TMJ Treatment in Fort Collins, CO

Bruxism means you grind and clench your teeth, particularly during sleep. Symptoms of bruxism include waking up with a sore jaw. As time goes on without treatment, however, you may notice more alarming symptoms:

While there are many causes, including injury, bruxism can also lead to TMJ or TMD—temporomandibular joint dysfunction. This condition means the moving joint that anchors your jaw to your skull is not working as it should. You may experience a clicking sound when chewing, migraines, and as time goes on, even a locking jaw.
Your dentist in 80526 offers bruxism and TMJ treatment to restore jaw function and prevent you from grinding and clenching. Therapy may involve specific exercises for the jaw and a custom device that prevents bruxism during sleep.

This custom nightguard gently stops your upper and lower jaw from coming together, so you can rest easy and wake up without symptoms.

Of course, ongoing bruxism wears down your teeth. If you would like to restore your smile, following successful treatment, porcelain veneers are a fantastic option—and an excellent way to put the pain from bruxism and TMJ behind you!

Taking Care of Your Porcelain Veneers in Fort Collins

Veneers are a permanent restoration, so you want to be armed with best practices to keep them looking beautiful.
Of course, brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist are crucial because you do not want to develop an infection or decay on your treated tooth—or your other teeth, for that matter. Taking these steps lowers your risks for the most common oral health conditions that can threaten your teeth, gums, and cosmetic dentistry.
If you have been diagnosed with bruxism or TMJ, never go to sleep without your custom nightguard. You do not want to wear down your veneers or your teeth, and you certainly do not want fractures to impede your new smile.
If you are athletic or work around unpredictable machinery, we recommend wearing a mouthguard to protect your veneers and your teeth from injury.
Also, you never want to use your teeth or your veneers to twist open a bottle cap or open a package. Use them for chewing and smiling only.
With good oral care and best practices, your veneers may last for decades!

We'll Help You Get the Smile You've Always Wanted!

Dr. Humbert is very patient

First of all, everyone in the office is incredibly kind and patient. I have had many bad dentist experiences in the past (other dentists) which gives me great anxiety and I cry almost every time I even think about going, let alone walk through the door. Thankfully, Dr. Humbert is very patient as I work through my fears and doubts, explaining exactly what will happen and what my options are.
There is never any pressure to do anything, which I really appreciate. In my experience with Centre Family Dentistry, I have had great Dental Assistants, but my favorite is Marsha! Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! I appreciate her demeanor and patience with me as I cry (almost always) through my visits. She is down to earth and brings a sense of calm while I am there, even getting me to laugh and take my mind off my fears.
I'm getting better with the help of EVERYONE there in the office. There is no judgement and I appreciate that so much. Kudos to the whole team!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Veneers are designed to be long-lasting and durable, but they still require some special care and maintenance to keep them looking and feeling their best. After all, just like your natural teeth, veneers can benefit from good oral hygiene and other healthy habits.

1. Brush and Floss Daily

Daily brushing and flossing are essential, just as they are for your natural teeth. Use a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste to avoid scratching the veneer’s surface. Regular checkups and cleanings with your dentist are also important so we can monitor your oral health and the condition of your veneers.

2. Don’t Bite Down on Hard Objects

Avoid biting on hard objects, such as ice or hard candy, that can chip or damage your veneers. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, we recommend wearing a nightguard to protect your smile from excessive force that can lead to breaks or chips.

3. Limit Staining Substances

Veneers are resistant to staining, but excessive consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco products can cause them to discolor over time. We recommend limiting these substances, drinking with a straw, or thoroughly rinsing your mouth with water afterward.

Porcelain veneers a thin tooth-shaped covers that go over teeth, creating the appearance of straight and healthy teeth.Since porcelain doesn’t stain as easily as enamel, the result is long-lasting, and with care and regular dental visits, veneers can last many years before needing to be replaced.

What Are Porcelain Veneers Good For?

Veneers are a good option for patients who want to create the appearance of straight and pearly white teeth. Patients who have damaged, discolored, or misshapen teeth can get a veneer that will create the appearance of a bright and healthy tooth shaped to the patient’s mouth so that it looks natural.

A veneer can be applied to a single tooth to improve its appearance or a line of visible teeth to create a whole new smile.

To set a veneer on a tooth, the dentist will have to remove a thin layer of enamel from the tooth. Because of this, veneers are permanent and require a commitment to care.
