Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic solution designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by covering the front of your teeth. These veneers are durable, stain-resistant, and strong, making them ideal for addressing various imperfections. After gently trimming your natural teeth, the veneers are securely bonded with dental cement. In just two appointments spread over 2-3 weeks, you can achieve a complete smile makeover and regain your confidence.

If you're self-conscious about your smile due to cosmetic issues, veneers could be the perfect solution. Veneers can effectively correct a variety of imperfections, including gaps, uneven teeth, misshapen or slightly crooked teeth, chips, and discoloration. Whether you have one or multiple concerns, veneers can quickly improve your smile by covering these imperfections and giving you a flawless, confident smile.

To receive veneers, it's essential to have a healthy mouth free from major oral health concerns such as tooth decay or gum disease. A consultation with Dr. Salman Khanani at our office is necessary to determine if you're a good candidate for treatment.

While veneers are excellent for addressing cosmetic issues with your teeth, they are not designed to fix broken or damaged teeth, nor can they be placed on teeth with cavities. Veneers can be a great option for minor concerns like uneven or slightly crooked teeth, but they are not a substitute for orthodontic treatment. If you have significant alignment issues, braces or clear aligners may be recommended prior to receiving veneers at Khanani Family Dental.

Veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years, but with proper care and by avoiding habits like smoking, they can last 20 years or longer. Made from durable porcelain that closely mimics natural enamel, veneers are non-porous, which helps resist stains from coffee, tea, and smoking. Over time, however, they may wear down and eventually need replacement, especially since some natural enamel is removed during the application process. Regular dental cleanings and checkups with Dr. Salman Khanani at Khanani Family Dental are essential to maintain the health and longevity of your veneers.

To keep your veneers in top condition, it's important to maintain a consistent brushing and flossing routine. This not only helps prevent stains on your natural teeth but also lowers the risk of common oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease. Additionally, scheduling a professional cleaning and oral exam with Dr. Khanani every six months is crucial to ensure both your veneers and natural teeth remain in excellent shape.

To avoid damaging your veneers, refrain from biting into hard foods with your front teeth, chewing on non-food objects, or using your teeth for tasks like opening bags or tearing tape. Following these precautions will help preserve your veneers and support your overall oral health.

Getting veneers is a comfortable and painless process. While a thin layer of enamel is removed during the preparation, our team at Khanani Family Dental ensures your comfort throughout the entire procedure. You won't experience any pain during your appointment with Dr. Khanani.

It is normal to experience some tooth sensitivity in the weeks following your initial preparation appointment, especially when wearing temporary resin veneers. This sensitivity may linger for a short time after the permanent porcelain veneers are placed.

This sensitivity is typical and not a cause for concern. Once you’ve adjusted to your new veneers, your smile should feel completely natural, and your teeth will actually be stronger than before. If you continue to experience sensitivity or discomfort, don't hesitate to contact us for a follow-up. Dr. Khanani may recommend additional treatment to help resolve the issue.
