Veneers in Houston, TX

A veneer is a thin, tooth-shaped shell that covers the front of a tooth to improve how it looks and functions. At A+ Dental Specialists, veneers are made from porcelain or resin composite materials that mimic the color and translucency of natural teeth. They are used to fix various issues, including chipped teeth, cracked teeth, gaps between teeth, misshapen or misaligned teeth, stained teeth, dull-looking teeth, and other cosmetic concerns.

Compared to dental crowns, placed over the entire tooth, veneers are thinner and they require less removal of the natural tooth structure before placement.

The Dental Veneer Procedure

During your first visit, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to the lab for fabrication and prepare your teeth for the veneers. While waiting for your permanent restorations to return from the lab, our dentist will fit you with temporary veneers. After you have worn the temporary veneers for a few weeks, you will return to the office to have the permanent ones placed.

Once your final set of veneers is in place, you can care for and maintain them like natural teeth. It is essential to practice good oral hygiene to keep your smile healthy and beautiful for years to come!

At-home care is essential for maintaining your new smile. You should brush twice daily and floss once daily to remove food debris from between the teeth and around any dental work you have done. Avoid using tobacco products and beverages like tea, coffee, and red wine that can stain your smile. And be sure to schedule your biannual cleanings and checkups with our dentist at our dental office!

We recommend coming in every six months to have your teeth cleaned and checked so that we can help prevent common issues like decay and gum disease from occurring. We can then work with you to create a custom treatment plan to restore and improve your smile and keep it healthy for many years.

Why Are Veneers a Good Option?

Improved Appearance

Veneers can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile. They can correct dental imperfections such as discoloration, stains, chips, cracks, gaps between teeth, and misalignment. Veneers can give you a straighter, whiter, and more even smile.

Natural Look

Porcelain veneers, in particular, have a natural translucent quality that closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth. They reflect light similarly, making them blend in seamlessly.

Stain Resistance

Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, making them an excellent option for individuals with persistent tooth discoloration that does not respond well to teeth whitening treatments. They maintain the smile's brightness for a long time.

Veneers can give patients the confidence to smile and interact with others without feeling self-conscious about the appearance of their teeth. For more information, contact A+ Dental Specialists at 9968 Bellaire Blvd, Ste 170, Houston, TX 77036, or call (713) 774-2100.
