Dental Veneers Lead to Brilliant Smiles
A radiant smile can significantly impact your confidence and leave a lasting impression. Dental veneers might be the solution if you dream of a brighter, more symmetrical smile. As a versatile cosmetic dentistry option, dental veneers provide a path to achieving the smile of your dreams.
At OHIOSmiles, Dr. Antalis and our experienced team provide custom veneers to patients in Cambridge and the southeastern Ohio region. Whether you’re looking to correct discoloration, close gaps, or perfect the shape of your teeth, veneers can deliver long-lasting and stunning results.
Understanding Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are custom-made, thin shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from porcelain or composite material, each offering unique benefits. These restorations do not replace missing teeth.
Veneers can address:
- Stains or discoloration that don’t respond to whitening treatments
- Minor chips or cracks
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Teeth that are slightly misaligned
The primary types of veneers are porcelain and composite. Traditional porcelain veneers are renowned for their stain resistance and ability to mimic the light-reflecting qualities of natural teeth. They are permanently bonded to your teeth, providing a durable and beautiful solution for various cosmetic dental concerns.
Composite veneers, on the other hand, are a more budget-friendly option and require less enamel removal during the application process. Dr. Antalis will guide you in choosing the best type of veneer based on your needs, ensuring a stunning and long-lasting smile transformation.
How Patients Benefit From Veneers
Veneers offer a remarkable solution to a variety of cosmetic concerns.
- Natural Appearance: The veneer materials closely resemble natural tooth enamel, ensuring a seamless and realistic look.
- Customizable: Each veneer is crafted to fit your unique smile, giving you control over the size, shape, and color of your teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years, providing a long-term solution for your smile makeover.
- Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, helping your smile stay bright and white.
- Minimally Invasive: Veneers require only a tiny amount of enamel removal compared to other restorative treatments.
Beyond addressing cosmetic concerns, veneers provide a smooth, even surface that promotes good oral hygiene. This makes maintaining a clean and healthy mouth easier, contributing to your overall well-being.
What to Expect During the Veneer Process
At OHIOSmiles, Dr. Antalis ensures your veneer procedure is comfortable and personalized every step of the way:
Consultation and Planning
Dr. Antalis will discuss your smile goals during your initial consultation and evaluate your oral health. Digital imaging may help you visualize your results before starting the procedure. Together, our team will work with you to determine the number of veneers you need to complete your smile.
Preparation
Dr. Antalis administers a local anesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of teeth receiving a veneer. This is to create space for the veneers. This prep ensures a perfect fit and natural appearance.
Impressions
Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are created. Temporary veneers may be placed while you wait for the final restorations.
Placement
At the next appointment, Dr. Antalis will check their fit and appearance before bonding them to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
Final Polishing
After the veneers are securely in place, they are polished to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
