Porcelain Veneers Fort Lauderdale, FL

Porcelain veneers are thin layers of customized porcelain permanently bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Patients choose veneers when they want to dramatically improve the appearance of their smile and cover up imperfections. At Premier Smile Center, we use minimal prep veneers, no-prep veneers, and dental bonding to create beautiful, natural-looking smiles.

Types of Veneers

There are several types of veneers that differ either in composition or how they are applied to the teeth.

• Minimal prep veneers: At one time, veneers required the shaving down of a great deal of tooth enamel to make room for the veneers and prevent bulky-looking teeth. Ultrathin veneers made of new and more durable grades of porcelain require little to no removal of tooth enamel.
• No-prep veneers: The name says it all. There is nothing special that needs to be done to your teeth before veneers are placed other than a cleaning and buffing to ensure a smooth surface. Tooth enamel does not need to be removed to make room for super-thin, super-strong, no-prep veneers.

Many patients who want veneers are excellent candidates for minimal or no-prep veneers. If these options are not viable, there are two other options:

• Traditional porcelain veneers: The original composition of porcelain veneers requires the removal of tooth enamel, so the veneers fit precisely and the chances of ending up with too-big teeth are minimized. Done well by an experienced cosmetic dentist, conventional veneers can look celeb-worthy.
• Chairside veneers: Also referred to as dental bonding or cosmetic bonding, this procedure involves the use of tooth-colored resin to make minor cosmetic or structural improvements to the teeth. It is a fast procedure that doesn’t require any downtime in between deciding on the procedure and having it done. Bonding is often used to close gaps between the teeth, whiten areas of discoloration, or serve as a finishing touch to orthodontic treatment.

What Porcelain Veneers Can Do

Veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatments. They alter a smile immediately and can fix nearly every aesthetic complaint a person has about their teeth, including:

• Chipped teeth
• Broken teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Mildly crooked teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Permanently stained teeth

Veneers are a long-lasting solution that is intended to improve the shape, color, and size of teeth while concealing the things you dislike about the look of your smile.

Are You a Good Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Every veneer journey begins with a discussion with your cosmetic dentist. At Premier Smile Center, you will have a complimentary cosmetic consultation with Dr. Johnson to determine whether you are a candidate for veneers and which type of veneers are best for your teeth.

Once your smile and oral health have been evaluated and it has been determined that veneers will work for your smile makeover, the exciting step of designing your new smile will begin. Before-and-after photos of other veneer makeovers is a great place to start when considering how you want your teeth to look. You know what you want to cover up, but the question is: how?

You want your veneers to look natural in shape and length, and that also means white but not mega-white teeth. The shade of the porcelain shields should be complimentary to your skin tone and the whites of your eyes. Dr. Johnson uses a custom shade guide to determine the exact, correct shade for your veneers.

Dr. Johnson also has over 20 years of experience in placing veneers and uses an excellent lab to deliver the best results. Through her extensive preparation and use of top-quality materials, she ensures that every smile makeover is a success.
