The Process of Applying Dental Veneers
The process of applying dental veneers is both precise and straightforward, often completed in just a few visits to Greenwood Dental. Initially, our dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth to determine if veneers are the best option for achieving your desired smile. This involves discussing your goals and preferences, taking dental impressions, and perhaps even creating a digital mock-up of what your new smile will look like. Once you've decided to proceed, a minimal amount of tooth enamel will be gently removed to make space for the veneers and promote a perfect fit and natural look.
Next, our team will create custom veneers tailored to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. These veneers are typically crafted from high-quality porcelain, a material known for its durability and lifelike appearance. At your final appointment, the veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth with a strong adhesive, and any necessary adjustments are made to create a perfect fit. The final result is a seamless, radiant smile that enhances your overall appearance and boosts your confidence.

How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
When correctly cared for, porcelain veneers can last between 10 and 15 years on average. Factors contributing to their longevity include maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, and visiting your dentist for routine checkups and cleanings. Additionally, it's important to avoid habits that can potentially damage the veneers, such as biting your nails, chewing on hard objects, or using your teeth to open packages.
Another crucial aspect of prolonging the life of your dental veneers is being mindful of what you eat and drink. While porcelain veneers are resistant to stains, it's still wise to limit the consumption of highly pigmented foods and beverages that can discolor the veneers over time. If you're a habitual coffee, tea, or red wine drinker, consider rinsing your mouth with water afterward to minimize staining. Our team at Greenwood Dental can provide personalized aftercare instructions, helping you maximize your veneers' lifespan and enjoy a radiant smile as the years go by.

Types of Dental Veneers
At Greenwood Dental, we offer various dental veneer options to suit your specific needs and preferences. Understanding the different types of veneers can help you decide which option is right for you.
Our dentists work with veneer types like:
- Porcelain veneers: Known for their durability and natural appearance, porcelain veneers are a popular choice for many patients. These custom-made shells are highly resistant to staining and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.
- Composite veneers: Made from a tooth-colored resin, composite veneers are a more affordable alternative to porcelain. While they may not last as long, they can still provide excellent aesthetic results and are often applied in a single visit.
- Lumineers: These ultra-thin veneers require minimal preparation and can be applied without removing much, if any, of the natural tooth enamel. Lumineers offer a quick and painless way to achieve a beautiful smile with little to no discomfort.
- No-prep veneers: Similar to Lumineers, no-prep veneers are designed to be applied directly to the teeth without significant enamel removal. This type of veneer is ideal for patients looking for a minimally invasive option with immediate results.
By offering these diverse types of veneers, our dentists can customize your treatment to align with your dental goals. Whether you prefer the strength and realism of porcelain veneers or the convenience of no-prep options, we provide solutions that cater to your unique needs.
