Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Patients gain numerous benefits with personalized porcelain or IPS e.max® veneers from our Albuquerque, NM, practice, like:
Comprehensive Treatment
Wish you could mask stains, chipping, or gaps? What about a combination of concerns? Our veneers are extremely versatile and can conceal a wide range of dental flaws at once, resulting in a dazzling, bright, and healthy-looking smile.
Improved Confidence
People that like their teeth are less hesitant to smile for pictures, laugh out loud, and speak in public. By concealing your cosmetic concerns, you can enhance your smile and feel more confident!
Long-Lasting Results
Porcelain veneers are made with ultra-strong, medical-grade porcelain, making them one of the longest-lasting cosmetic dentistry treatments. Porcelain is also stain-resistant, so your veneers will retain their bright natural shade for their entire life span. In some cases, they can last up to a decade.
Correct a Variety of Dental Imperfections with Porcelain Veneers
Many patients have chips and minor cracks that can be easily masked with a veneer. Veneers cover the entire front surface of the tooth for a flawless, natural-looking finish.
In the case of deep-rooted discoloration, veneers can brighten the shade of your teeth and are resistant to further discoloration because they are crafted from stain-resistant porcelain.
Sometimes a single tooth is too small or too large in proportion to the rest of your smile. Veneers can resize individual teeth, resulting in a more balanced look.
While major misalignment is typically treated with orthodontics, strategically placed veneers can hide rotated or gapped teeth and make your smile look straighter.

Other Options in Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Kelly provides a wide variety of cosmetic treatments at our Albuquerque, NM, dental practice. While dental veneers can accomplish beautiful aesthetic enhancements other procedures may not be able to achieve, it's important to know the options available, like:
Bonding consists of a tooth-colored resin applied to the surface of the teeth to mask imperfections such as chips and cracks. Some patients find bonding to look less natural than porcelain, but it is a good option to repair minor flaws.
Dental crowns cover the tooth from the chewing surface to the gumline, providing cosmetic enhancement and protection. Dental crowns are typically placed after major damage or a root canal to provide support to a weakened tooth structure.
Teeth whitening can remove surface enamel stains from the teeth and brighten the overall appearance of your smile. We can provide rapid in-office and at-home whitening treatments that are safer and more effective than store-bought alternatives.
Dental veneers can only provide symmetry to minor cases of tooth misalignment. Orthodontics may be a more suitable option for patients who need more comprehensive work straightening their alignment and bite.

How Long Will My Veneers Last?
/
Veneers are an immediate and incredibly long-lasting form of tooth enhancement. The average lifespan for a porcelain veneer is 10 to 15 years, but they can last even longer with proper maintenance and dental care.
Maintaining Your Veneers
In general, veneers require little follow-up care and should be treated much like your natural teeth. Our tips to ensure long-lasting dental veneers include:
Practicing Proper Oral Hygiene
Never underestimate the importance of practicing good oral hygiene and diligent brushing and flossing habits. Not only will you protect your natural teeth and extend the lifespan of your cosmetic treatments, but you will save yourself thousands of dollars in restorative work that can be needed to treat decay and infections.
Protecting Your Tooth Enamel
Porcelain is less porous than tooth enamel and will not absorb the color from dark-colored beverages and tobacco products. While your porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, your natural teeth are not. To ensure your smile remains bright, refrain from consuming food and drinks that have the potential to stain your natural teeth.
Avoiding Excessive Force
While porcelain is inherently strong and durable, we always recommend treating your dental veneer with care. It is best to avoid opening things with your teeth or biting your nails, as they can lead to erosion of both your veneers and natural teeth.

FAQs About Veneers At Our Albuquerque Office
Can I have a veneer made for just one tooth?
Yes, you can. The beauty of veneers is that they can be placed over one tooth, several teeth, or all of your front teeth.
Why is enamel shaving necessary?
Enamel shaving is another one of the crucial techniques we use to focus on details big and small. It allows our dentist to create a precise fit, and it also prevents your veneers from looking oversized.
Will my veneers blend in with my natural teeth?
Yes, they will. Thanks to our premium veneer materials and our dentist's careful eye, we will specifically match your veneers to the exact shades of your anterior teeth. This results in a seamless smile from all angles.
