At Smile N Shine Dental Fremont we take pride in providing quality dental veneers with our expert dental professionals that pay attention to minute details so each and every patient can get maximum results.

Dental veneers are custom-made, natural-looking thin shells that cover the front surface of teeth. They are made of high-quality dental material.

Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth if you have chipped, broken, stained, slightly crooked or misshapen teeth. They are also good options if you have gaps or diastema between teeth.

Types of veneers

The two main types of veneers are porcelain and composite. Each type has its benefits.

A porcelain veneer is a thin shell custom-made to fit on the front surface of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are strong, long-lasting and natural-looking. They tend to be the more expensive option. 

A composite veneer / Dental Bonding: is made from a tooth-colored filling material that is bonded to the tooth. Composite veneers may require less tooth enamel to be removed and fewer visits to the dentist. They are easier to fix if damaged but are not as stain- or wear-resistant.

Understand the following before you get Dental Veneer:

• Treatment may not be reversible depending on the individual case.

• You must first get any dental issues(like decay and gum disease) treated before getting Veneers. Placing veneers over unhealthy teeth may worsen existing dental problems.

• A veneer may chip, crack, wear down or loosen over time, requiring your dentist to re-bond, repair or replace it.

• If you clench or grind your teeth, or have a deep overbite, veneers may not be a good choice or may require correction of bite with Invisalign.

Veneers are considered cosmetic dentistry so your veneer may not be covered by insurance unless it’s deemed medically necessary.

As with all your dental care, discuss your dental history, treatment expectations, and reservations with us. We will help you determine if veneers are the right choice for your smile. 

After Care of your veneer for Lasting smiles:

• For a few days after veneer placement, avoid eating very hard or crunchy foods that could put excessive pressure on the veneers. Stick to a softer diet.

• Continue with your regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing and flossing. Use a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush to avoid damaging the veneers.

• Be mindful of foods and beverages that can stain teeth, as veneers are not as stain-resistant as natural teeth. Limit the consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, and foods with strong pigments. Smoking can stain veneers too.

• Wear nightguard (if recommended): If you grind your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend wearing a nightguard to protect your veneers from damage.

• Dental Check-ups: Attend all scheduled dental check-ups and cleanings. Regular professional cleanings can help maintain the appearance and longevity of your veneers.

• Be Cautious with Chewing: While veneers are strong and durable, avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bite into hard objects. This can chip or damage the veneers.

• Longevity: With proper care and maintenance, dental veneers can last for many years. However, they may need replacement over time due to normal wear and tear.

• Avoid biting your fingernails and chewing on hard objects or foods.

• Wear a mouthguard if you play a sport or do an activity that could injure your mouth.

• Remember that dental veneers are a cosmetic enhancement, and their appearance and longevity depend on your diligent care and maintenance. By following these post-operative instructions and practicing good oral hygiene, you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years to come.
