What Are Veneers?
Our dental veneers are thin shells of high-quality porcelain or composite resin custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. This cosmetic dental treatment allows us to correct a range of dental imperfections, including cracked, chipped, discolored, or gapped teeth. By bonding these thin shells to the front surface of your teeth, Dr. Fields can create a natural-looking, flawless smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
The Pros
One of the biggest advantages of veneers is their ability to deliver immediate and long-lasting results. In just a couple of visits to our office, Dr. Fields will dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth. Whether you have stubborn stains that can’t be removed with traditional teeth whitening methods or you have teeth that are slightly misaligned, veneers can provide an aesthetic and durable solution.
Our customized veneers are:
- Stain-resistant: With proper care, you can enjoy a bright smile for years to come
- Durable: Able to withstand everyday wear and tear, your veneers allow you to eat and speak without worrying about damaging your teeth
Seamless: Dr. Fields meticulously matches the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, leaving you with a gorgeous, natural-looking smile that complements your face
The Cons
While veneers offer numerous benefits, it’s important to consider some potential drawbacks:
- Irreversibility: Placing veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel from your natural teeth to ensure a proper, seamless fit, and this can’t be undone. Dr. Fields will only move forward with the treatment after ensuring it is the right choice for your smile.
- Cost: Veneers can be a significant investment and may not always be covered by dental insurance. At South Tulsa Smiles, we have flexible financing options and a membership plan to ensure finances don’t stop you from getting the smile you deserve!
- Potential for Damage: Although durable, veneers can chip or crack under excessive pressure or with improper care. This can be easily avoided if you follow the care instructions that Dr. Fields will walk you through after your procedure.
- Sensitivity: Some patients may experience increased tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after getting veneers. This is normal and should subside after a few days. If the discomfort persists or worsens, call our friendly team, and we will schedule a checkup to ensure there are no complications.
- Eventual Color Mismatch: Over time, your neighboring natural teeth may darken or change color while your veneers remain the same shade. However, if you continue with your regular checkups and cleanings at our dental office, Dr. Fields will be able to rectify it before it becomes noticeable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional teeth whitening treatments will not affect the color of porcelain veneers. It’s important to discuss your desired shade with Dr. Fields before getting your veneers to ensure a perfect match with your natural teeth. To be absolutely sure, it’s best to whiten your teeth before getting your veneers. We provide professional teeth whitening services in-house so you can do the entire process under one roof!
While veneers are durable, it’s advisable to avoid habits that can damage them, such as biting your nails, chewing on ice, or using your teeth to open packages. Maintaining good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing is also crucial.
With proper care and maintenance, veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer. Regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits like chewing on hard objects can help extend their lifespan.
The procedure is minimally invasive and relatively painless. At South Tulsa Smiles, we take extra steps to ensure you stay comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Our sedation options and comfort menu are designed specifically to create a relaxing, spa-like dental experience. You may notice some mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.
A thin layer of enamel is typically removed from the front surface of your teeth to accommodate the veneers. This ensures a natural look and prevents the veneers from appearing bulky. Your veneers take over the protective role of your enamel layer.
