We Offer Different Kinds of Dental Veneers to Suit All Smiles

Veneers are thin custom-made “shells” of toothlike material that Dr. Pablo Cuevas applies to the front of your teeth. They are made of either composite or porcelain, both of which offer different advantages. Dr. Cuevas has extensive training in cosmetic dentistry and experience using different kinds of dental veneers, so he can help you select the option that best suits your smile.

No matter which kind of veneer you get, the process is similar:

  • You’ll work with Dr. Cuevas to select the shade, shape, and size of your veneers.
  • He’ll remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth, then use digital scanning technology to make impressions of them.
  • He’ll send the information to a dental lab, where your veneers will be made.
  • You’ll receive temporary veneers to wear while you wait.
  • When your final veneers arrive, he’ll check the appearance and fit before securely bonding them to your teeth.

Caring for Your Veneers: Ensuring Longevity and Beauty

Veneers are a fantastic investment for enhancing your smile, but they require careful maintenance to preserve their appearance and function. At Fairfield Smiles by Design, we emphasize the importance of proper veneer care to ensure they last as long as possible. Here are essential tips for maintaining your veneers:

  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush at least twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. This prevents plaque buildup without damaging your veneers. Flossing daily is crucial to remove debris that could affect gum health and veneer longevity.
  • Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods: To prevent chipping or dislodging your veneers, avoid biting directly into hard foods like candies and ice, and steer clear of sticky foods. Instead, cut hard foods into smaller pieces and use your back teeth for chewing.
  • Use Non-Alcoholic Mouthwash: Choose alcohol-free mouthwash to avoid weakening the bonding agents of your veneers. Opt for a fluoride-containing formula to enhance oral health.
  • Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods: To prevent chipping or dislodging your veneers, avoid biting directly into hard foods like candies and ice, and steer clear of sticky foods. Instead, cut hard foods into smaller pieces and use your back teeth for chewing.
  • Wear a Mouthguard: If you engage in sports or have a habit of grinding your teeth at night, a custom-made mouthguard is essential to protect your veneers from potential damage.
  • Limit Staining Agents: Although veneers resist stains, the adhesive can become discolored. Limit your intake of coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, and attend regular professional cleanings to manage any potential staining.
  • Regular Dental Check-Ups: Ensure your veneers and overall oral health remain in top condition by visiting Fairfield Smiles by Design regularly. These check-ups allow for the monitoring and maintenance of your veneers.

By adhering to these care guidelines, your veneers can maintain their aesthetic appeal for years to come. For any questions or to schedule a check-up, contact Fairfield Smiles by Design. Let us help you keep your smile both beautiful and healthy!
