Why Choose Beam Dental
Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Malvern, PA, works together to create a convenient dental experience.
Veneers are a popular choice for anyone looking to upgrade the appearance of their smile. These custom-designed, thin shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their color, shape, and overall alignment. If you are searching for a cosmetic dentist in Malvern, our team can help you decide whether veneers are the right fit.
At our Malvern office, we offer two primary types of dental veneers:
- Porcelain Veneers: Custom-crafted in a specialized lab from high-grade ceramic. They are strong, durable, and stain-resistant, with a look that closely mimics natural teeth.
- Composite Veneers: Made from a tooth-colored resin that is bonded directly to your teeth by the dentist. They are typically more affordable, though they may be less durable than porcelain.
Both options correct cosmetic issues such as chips, stains, and uneven teeth. During the procedure, your dentist prepares the tooth by removing a very thin layer of enamel so the veneer fits seamlessly. Afterward, keep up a good oral hygiene routine and avoid biting on ice or hard objects to protect your new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider replacing my veneers?
While they are long-lasting, you should plan for replacement eventually. Watch for signs of wear such as cracks, chips, discoloration, or a visible space between the veneer and your gumline.
How do I properly care for my veneers?
To help your veneers last, brush twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristle brush and floss daily. Be careful to slide the floss gently between teeth and avoid biting into very hard foods like candy or nuts, which could cause chipping.
Are veneers better than dental crowns?
Veneers are best suited for addressing minor aesthetic flaws like chips or gaps in otherwise healthy teeth. In contrast, dental crowns are a more durable and comprehensive solution for teeth with significant decay, fractures, or those that have had a root canal.
How long can I expect my veneers to last?
Generally, dental veneers last around 10 years, depending on your lifestyle and how well you maintain them. Porcelain veneers are typically more resistant to chips, cracks, and staining than other materials.
