What Dental Veneers Are
Dental veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells that attach to the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance. They can modify the shape, size, color, and surface of teeth depending on the material used and the cosmetic goals you want to achieve.
At Luxe Dental Arts in Beaumont, TX, veneers can be applied to a single tooth or multiple teeth for a complete smile transformation. Options range from ultra-conservative to full-coverage designs to match your comfort, aesthetic desires, and overall dental health.
Smile Issues That Veneers Can Improve
Veneers are an excellent solution for a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
- Deep stains or discoloration that do not respond to whitening
- Small gaps or spacing between front teeth
- Minor chips or cracks
- Slight misalignment or uneven edges
- Naturally small or misshapen teeth
- Worn or jagged teeth
What Happens During the Veneer Process
The process of getting veneers begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals, review your oral health, and select the type of veneer best suited for you.
- Consultation and Planning: We will talk through your smile goals and determine which veneer option meets your needs.
- Tooth Preparation When Needed: Some veneers may require minimal enamel removal to ensure a precise fit.
- Temporary Veneers If Applicable: For traditional veneers, temporary restorations may be placed while your permanent veneers are fabricated.
- Digital Smile Design Preview: This advanced technology allows you to visualize and customize your smile with Dr. Karishma Sheth before final placement.
- Final Veneer Placement: Once your veneers are ready, they are securely bonded to your teeth for a durable and natural-looking finish.
Types of Veneers We Offer
At Luxe Dental Arts in Beaumont, TX, we offer several types of veneers tailored to different needs:
Porcelain Veneers
Strong, durable, and stain-resistant, ideal for full smile makeovers.
Feldspathic Veneers
Layered porcelain for a highly natural, translucent appearance.
Composite Veneers
Tooth-colored resin for a cost-effective, same-day solution.
Minimal Prep Veneers
Ultra-thin veneers that require little to no enamel removal for a conservative approach.
What to Expect After Getting Veneers
After placement, you may experience temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, which usually resolves within a few days to weeks. Some patients may notice slight fullness beneath the upper lip if multiple veneers are applied, but this sensation diminishes over time.
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom nightguard is recommended to protect your veneers and maintain their longevity. Veneers typically do not cause significant changes to your bite or speech, but if you feel any discomfort, contact Luxe Dental Arts in Beaumont, TX for a follow-up visit. Your comfort and satisfaction are always our top priority.
