What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that a dentist places in the front of your teeth. With this placement, any cosmetic concerns such as sizing, chips, and gaps are hidden. At East Highland Dental, we use durable porcelain for our veneers. Our custom made ones will give you a natural-looking and stunning smile.

How Does The Dentist Place Veneers?
Dr. Shah generally places the veneers throughout two visits. At the first visit, Dr. Shah will prep your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel. To ensure a natural look, a mouth impression is made to create an accurate model of your teeth. Dr. Shah will also take photos and Digital X-rays of your mouth while using a color guide for shade matching. At the end of your first visit, Dr. Shah will place temporary ones until the permanent ones are ready.
How Long Can Porcelain Veneers Last?
Like anything else, Veneers will last as long as you take good care of them. On average, veneers can last seven to twenty years with the proper care and upkeep. It can have excessive wear and tear if you eat hard foods or grind your teeth. With regards to the teeth grinding, a mouthguard can be prescribed to help protect your teeth.

What Are The Differences Between Veneers and Crowns?
While both can help with a tooth’s look, both have different purposes. Veneers are strictly for cosmetic uses and don’t provide any extra benefit beyond aesthetics. Crowns are useful for both looks and function. While veneers are placed in the front of the tooth, a dental crown surrounds the whole tooth. This fundamental difference provides protection and better function for a damaged tooth.
