Porcelain Veneers Overview

Porcelain Veneers are an ideal way for Dr Birckhead & Dr. Powers at Premier Dental to disguise staining on your teeth and fill in gaps that may be making you less confident in your smile than you should be. The process of getting veneers from Dr Birckhead & Dr. Powers can be completed in a short time frame and you will not experience any significant pain while the procedure is being completed.

When you call Premier Dental for an appointment to have porcelain veneers implanted, you will be asked to clarify your expectations about what you want the procedure to do for you. After that, you need to come in for your appointment with Dr Birckhead & Dr. Powers where they will remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth and place temporary porcelain veneers in your mouth. In the meantime, Dr Birckhead & Dr. Powers will have a permanent set of porcelain veneers crafted at the laboratory of Premier Dental. When they are ready, Dr Birckhead & Dr. Powers will call you to come in for a second appointment.

There are several advantages to porcelain veneers over older types of cosmetic dentistry like dentures. First, they are permanent, so you do not have to be concerned about removing them every night or with having to take the time to specially clean them. They last for up to 15 years, although you may need to return to Premier Dental sooner than that if your porcelain veneers break or chip. However, this is not a common occurrence. Veneers placed by the specialists at Premier Dental are also very natural in appearance and are resistant to developing permanent stains. Unless you tell them, your family and friends will probably not realize that they are not your natural teeth.
