If there’s something about your smile that you don’t like, you’re not alone. More than a third of Americans are ashamed of how their smiles look. The good news is you don’t have to settle for a smile you’re unhappy with. Robert L. Holloway, DDS, offers porcelain veneers in Noblesville, Indiana, to transform your smile into what you imagine it to be. Dr. Robert Holloway and his team can erase chips, gaps, stains, and other flaws with cosmetic teeth veneers.

Why do I need porcelain veneers?

A veneer is a thin ceramic shell custom-designed for each tooth to improve its shape, size, color, and alignment. Porcelain veneers are a conservative treatment for correcting numerous dental flaws in healthy teeth.

You may need porcelain veneers to fix:

• Discolored or stained teeth.
• Slightly crooked teeth.
• Unattractive spaces between teeth.
• Stubby, short, or oddly sized and shaped teeth.
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth.

Although veneers can be made from various materials, we prefer porcelain because it can mimic natural teeth’ color gradation and pearlescence. After enhancing your smile with porcelain veneers, the evidence of dental work will be virtually undetectable. Your brand-new smile will look stunning yet natural.

How are porcelain veneers placed?

Your smile enhanced with veneers only requires two dental visits. During your first visit, we’ll discuss your smile goals and examine your smile to rule out decay, infections, and other issues that may affect your veneers.

Next, we’ll prepare your teeth. Porcelain veneers won’t be mounted directly to your teeth; otherwise, they look bulky and unnatural. To ensure your veneers lay flat against other teeth, we’ll remove about 0.5mm of the enamel. The veneers will sit perfectly in this space to maintain your natural bite and aesthetics.

After preparing your teeth, we’ll take digital scans and send them to our master ceramist to handcraft your veneers. Until your veneers are ready, we’ll protect your prepped teeth with interim veneers.

During your second appointment, we’ll reveal your new smile. We’ll replace your temporary ones with your new veneers. If necessary, we’ll make a few tweaks to your veneers until they look and feel natural. Once you are happy with the results, we’ll bond your veneers to your teeth with permanent dental adhesives. That’s it! You can now show off your beautiful, brand-new smile.

How do I maintain my porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers can last several decades with proper maintenance. To ensure your veneers last for many years, it’s’ essential to:

• Brush your teeth at least twice daily.
• Floss once daily, preferably before bedtime.
• Visit your dentist every six months for routine cleanings and check-ups.
• Wear a mouthguard if you brux teeth or play in high-risk sports.
• Avoid using your teeth to bite fingernails and open bottles.
