Dr. Naveen Chennupati of Richmond, Virginia, is a dentist in the community who is pleased to provide cosmetic dentistry solutions at his practice, Best Smiles. He is a dentist who offers porcelain veneers for patients who want to enhance their smiles. Below are some of the more common questions he hears about veneers for rejuvenating the smile.
WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Our dentist describes veneers as thin portions of ceramic that mimic natural tooth enamel and are bonded over the front of teeth to cover imperfections.
HOW ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS MADE?
Each veneer is custom-made for the patient to match their existing teeth’ shape, size, and color. It ensures that they do not stand out against the other teeth as obvious repairs.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF GETTING PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Patients consult with our dentist to determine if they are a good fit for veneers before preparations are made. The front of the tooth is filed down, and impressions are created to be sent to the laboratory to fabricate the veneer. Patients return to have the veneer bonded onto the tooth for the final application.
ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS PERMANENT?
With proper care, most patients will enjoy their porcelain veneers for many years, often up to 10 or more!
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GETTING PORCELAIN VENEERS?
Veneers offer a fast and affordable way to cover imperfections of the smile that might otherwise need alternative treatments to correct. They are stain-resistant, long-lasting, and blend in with the patient’s smile when created by a dentist with an artistic eye!
