What Is the Purpose of Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are precisely made restorations ClearWave Dental & Aesthetics porcelain veneers — typically between 0.5 and 0.7 millimeters thin — designed to overlay the outward-facing surfaces of selected teeth. Unlike crowns, which surround the entire tooth, porcelain veneers call for only a small amount of tooth reduction. That means, more of your original tooth is protected. The porcelain used replicates the light-reflecting properties of healthy teeth, which is part of what makes well-designed veneers look so lifelike.

The mechanics behind porcelain veneers involves adhesive dentistry. After a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface, detailed measurements are captured and delivered to a specialized lab where expert dental craftspeople fabricate each veneer to match your natural tooth shade. When the finished veneers arrive back to our office, they are permanently bonded using a light-cured composite adhesive that results in a extremely strong connection between the porcelain and your tooth.

At ClearWave Dental & Aesthetics, our clinical team uses advanced imaging software to preview your anticipated final look before any treatment begins. That preview allows you to see your new smile and provide input before the lab work begins. Our providers have completed focused education in smile design through programs affiliated with nationally recognized dental organizations.

The Porcelain Veneers Process Step by Step

1. Comprehensive Smile Consultation — The process starts with a thorough meeting where our cosmetic dentist reviews your current dental situation, talks through your aesthetic goals, and assesses that porcelain veneers are the appropriate solution for your needs.
2. Digital Smile Design and Planning — With the help of digital imaging and artistic design principles, our team plans the dimensions, proportions and color of your new veneers. This step lets you see an early version of your expected results before any tooth preparation begins.
3. Gentle Enamel Reduction — A thin layer of enamel — approximately 0.5 millimeters — is precisely removed from each tooth receiving a veneer. Local anesthesia guarantees the process is pain-free throughout this stage. Provisionals are placed while your permanent lab work are crafted.
4. Detailed Records and Lab Craftsmanship — Accurate digital scans of your prepped teeth are captured and delivered to a trusted ceramics lab. In the fabrication process, skilled dental artists craft each porcelain veneer to exact dimensions. This typically takes one to two weeks from scan to delivery.
5. Fit Check and Trial Placement — When your completed porcelain veneers arrive, our provider places them on your teeth first without adhesive to assess the bite and color. Small modifications can be made at this appointment before the veneer is cemented in place.
6. Final Cementation — When you confirm with the look and feel, each veneer is securely cemented using a light-activated composite cement. A curing light hardens the adhesive instantly, holding the veneer permanently in position.
7. Post-Placement Refinement — Your new porcelain veneers are refined and occlusion is assessed to confirm that everything aligns correctly. Many people step out of this visit with their new smile transformation complete.

Who Is a Ideal Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are most appropriate for people who have specific cosmetic concerns — such as deep discoloration that resist whitening treatments, chipped or cracked teeth, spaces between teeth, front teeth that look undersized, or mild bite discrepancies that would not benefit from aligners. Ideal patients should additionally have generally healthy teeth and gums — active gum disease need to be resolved prior to placing veneers.

Likewise, patients with limited remaining enamel from heavy grinding may be better suited for alternative restorations.

Since teenagers' dental structures are still growing, the dental community recommend waiting until at least age 18 before moving forward with long-term restorations. Patients who meet candidacy criteria who prioritize consistent brushing and flossing are generally excellent candidates for porcelain veneers.
