Sometimes a smile needs a little tweaking to look its best. That’s a great job for veneers! Veneers make smile flaws disappear to reveal a gorgeous smile! A consultation with a skilled dentist for teeth veneers from A Brush Above Family Dentistry is a great way to start! We’re located in Chicago but serve residents in Evergreen Park, Illinois as well. Our dedicated cosmetic dental team – Drs. Marcella Guzman, Philip Fidel and Rosa Sinno – answer your questions about veneers here to help you decide if they’re right for you.
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin porcelain laminates placed on your teeth to improve their aesthetics. They fit seamlessly over the front of your teeth to cover cosmetic defects and give your smile a smooth, unblemished appearance. Veneers can be used on one tooth or many. We’ll customize your procedure to meet your unique aesthetic needs.
Why do people get veneers?
If you’re not happy with your smile, chances are you don’t smile very often. This can make you appear stand-offish or unfriendly. Veneers can give you a smile you can show off with confidence and pride! They can be used to conceal chips, stains and cracks in your teeth, renew worn teeth, close tooth gaps, reshape odd-looking teeth and correct minor tooth misalignments. In so doing, your smile can look brighter, fuller, straighter and healthier than ever. In short, you can have the smile you’ve always wanted with veneers.
Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
Does it hurt to get veneers?
No! The process is quick and easy. We’ll numb your mouth to remove a thin layer of tooth enamel from the teeth you want to fix to make space for your veneers. Then we’ll take a mold of your teeth and send it to a lab that creates veneers. Your custom-crafted restorations should be ready in a few weeks, at which time we’ll cement them in place permanently. You’re then ready to showcase your new smile!
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Once attached to your teeth, veneers stay fixed, removable only by your dentist. However, they don’t last forever. With good maintenance and care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years before needing to be replaced. Because tooth enamel was removed to place your veneers, you’ll need to continue with this treatment or choose another cosmetic treatment to maintain the beauty of your smile. Â

How do I care for veneers?
Like teeth, veneers mostly need good home oral care and routine dental cleanings to stay in good shape. To keep them from chipping or cracking prematurely, wear a night guard to stop teeth grinding, stop chewing on ice, avoid hard foods, and don’t use your teeth as tools.
