Porcelain Dental Veneers in Ivins UT area

In a world where image matters, looking good isn’t enough — you must look great. Unfortunately, you can’t put forward the best version of yourself if you have dental flaws. But guess what? No matter how disappointed you are with your natural teeth — they may be chipped, gapped, discolored, or otherwise flawed — porcelain veneers from Canyon Crossing Dental in Ivins, Utah, can improve your smile. Led by our experienced dentist, Dr. Susan Baker, our talented cosmetic dental team expertly places porcelain veneers to establish cosmetic and functional harmony.

How dental veneers can help with your smile

Dental veneers are customized razor-thin covers bonded to your front teeth to enhance their size, color, texture, and shape. Dental veneers can be created from porcelain, composite, or ceramic material. Dental veneers are carefully colored and skillfully placed to match your teeth and provide a comfortable fit, just like nature intended.

Dental veneers are dentistry marvels because they can fix multiple dental flaws at a go. Dental veneers can improve your smile in the following ways.

Whiten stubbornly discolored teeth
Fix uneven gaps between teeth
Strengthen chipped or cracked teeth
Lengthen unusually tiny teeth
Straighten slight dental misalignment
Add balance to a gummy smile

Some people need 6-8 veneers for a consistent, symmetrical smile. However, others require one or two veneers for a complete smile transformation. Dr. Baker will assess your needs to ensure your treatment suits your budget, preferences, and other specifics.

The dental veneer treatment process

Transforming your smile with porcelain veneers requires at least two dental appointments. During the initial consultation, we’ll assess your smile to establish your eligibility for dental veneers. If yes, we carefully plan your treatment to determine the number of veneers required, location, type, etc.

Porcelain veneers require shaving your enamel to create space for veneers. Your custom-fitted veneers sit snugly over the prepped enamel to ensure they don’t look unnatural or feel bulky. After preparing your teeth, we take your bite impressions to be used by our master ceramists to fabricate your veneers. Until your permanent veneers arrive, we’ll place provisional ones to protect the altered enamel.

When your veneers arrive, you’ll book an appointment with Dr. Baker for installation. After removing your temporaries, we’ll use temporary dental adhesives to try your new veneers. We’ll make adjustments — if necessary — until your restorations fit snugly and look natural. That’s it! You can now enjoy your brand-new smile.

Composite veneers: A quick and affordable alternative to porcelain veneers

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t have a place in cosmetic dentistry. We understand patients’ needs differ, so the solutions should vary. You can consider composite veneers if you want smile enhancement on a budget. Also known as dental bonding, composite veneers are applied directly to the enamel — there is no need to shave the enamel. As such, you only need one dental appointment to transform your smile with composite veneers.

Composite veneers may not be as long-lasting as porcelain veneers, but they are an excellent solution for minor cosmetic flaws. Even better, the procedure is reversible, allowing you to downgrade or upgrade the treatment.

Maintaining your smile after veneer treatment

Your smile looks absolutely stunning after getting veneers. You surely hope to maintain this beautiful smile for many years to come. While dental veneers are durable, they do require maintenance to keep them looking fresh and new.

Observe the tips below to get the most out of your veneers.

Brush twice daily
Floss daily
Avoid using your teeth to open packages or biting on hard things like ice or fingernails
Consider a custom nightguard if you are a chronic tooth grinder
Use an athletic mouthguard if you play contact sports
Adhere to bi-annual dental appointments
