Are you unsatisfied with your smile due to crowding or chipped or stained teeth? Dental veneers could be the solution you’re looking for! These veneers can be customized to match your desired shade and shape and are long-lasting if cared for properly.
At Taylor Brook Dental Associates in Auburn, ME, our cosmetic experts specialize in creating and placing veneers. We start by taking a detailed impression of your teeth, which allows us to custom-fabricate veneers that fit perfectly over your natural teeth. Afterward, we remove a small enamel layer to ensure the veneer bonds ideally.
Our state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry facility considers even the most minor aesthetic details, such as matching the color and tone of your natural teeth, gum and lip lines, jaw contours, facial bone structures, and skin tone. The result is a perfect set of porcelain veneers that complement your natural features and give you a brilliant, beaming smile you never knew you could have!
book onlineHow do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are thin shells applied to the front surfaces of teeth to cover noticeable flaws and adjust alignment. Depending on the type of veneer, a small amount of enamel may need to be removed from the teeth before installation. Veneers can also be used to adjust the thickness of teeth to improve spacing. They are easy to apply and require preparation of the teeth before securing them in place with a strong dental adhesive.
What types of dental veneers are available?
Two main dental veneers are available: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both options are great for improving your smile.
Composite veneers are made in the dentist’s office using tooth-colored resin applied directly to the teeth. They are less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers. Composite veneers can effectively cover many cosmetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made to fit your teeth. A laboratory typically makes them, and they are sent to the dentist’s office for application. Porcelain veneers last longer and provide a more natural look than composite veneers. They can also address more significant cosmetic issues, such as severely stained teeth or teeth that are misaligned.
How long do dental veneers last?
Our veneers are crafted with high-quality materials and are built to last. Generally, they can last between 10-15 years, but with exceptional dental care, they can even last more than 20 years. If you need to repair or replace your dental veneers, please get in touch with our office as soon as possible, and we will ensure that you can smile again.
