Achieve Your Dream Smile with Veneers

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. Made from porcelain or composite resin, they enhance the color, shape, size, or length of your natural teeth. Veneers offer a versatile solution for various cosmetic dental concerns, such as:
  • Discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
  • Worn down teeth
  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth
  • Gaps between teeth

The Veneer Procedure

The journey to your new smile begins with a consultation with your Dr. Mourad Fawzy. During this visit, you’ll discuss your goals and expectations, and Dr. Fawzy will examine your teeth to determine if veneers are the right option for you. X-rays and impressions of your teeth may also be taken.

Consultation

In preparation for your veneers, Dr. Fawzy will remove a small amount of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to ensure a proper fit and a natural look. Next, impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers will be created. In rare occasions, ‘no-prep veneers’ may be a reasonable option where the enamel surface does not need to be removed at all.

Preparation

Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Fawzy will have a ‘cosmetic try-in’ appointment. During this visit, patients will get a chance to try their new veneers on and assess their new smile. During this visit patients will have the chance to change the shape and color of their veneers and make any desired modifications. Once the veneers are approved by the patients and the fit is approved by Dr. Fawzy, he will bond the veneer onto the tooth surface.

Cosmetic Fitting and Bonding

After the veneers are bonded, Dr. Fawzy will make any final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and appearance. You may need a follow-up visit to check the placement and comfort of your veneers.

Final Adjustments

Once patients have veneers placed, Dr. Fawzy ALWAYS recommends a night guard to protect the new porcelain teeth from wear and chipping. This becomes especially important in situations where patients tend to grind or clench their teeth at night.

Benefits of veneers

1. Aesthetic Appeal

2. Durability

3. Stain Resistance

Veneers can dramatically enhance your smile by addressing various cosmetic concerns. Whether you have stains, chips, or gaps, veneers can provide a uniform, bright, and natural-looking smile.

Porcelain veneers are known for their strength and durability. With proper care, they can last for 10-15 years or even longer, making them a long-term investment in your oral health and appearance.

Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine. This means you can maintain a whiter, brighter smile without frequent whitening treatments.

4. Minimally Invasive

The procedure for applying veneers is minimally invasive compared to other cosmetic dental treatments. It typically involves removing only a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth.

5. Quick Results

Dental Veneers are some of the fastest ways to see drastic results in your smile. Treatments such as braces or Invisalign may take months or years to close gaps or alleviate crowding between teeth. Veneers allow for an almost immediate correction of shape and positioning of teeth.
