You don't have to live with damaged, dysfunctional teeth. Porcelain veneers are a great option for Sugar Land, TX patients who want to improve the look of their teeth without the expense and downtime of alternative treatments. The white teeth veneers we provide our patients have a variety of benefits, including:

• Mask stains and prevent future discoloration
• Minimal shaping of the teeth for placement
• Can be managed with just your routine dental habits
• Long-lasting results

Each porcelain veneer in Sugar Land, TX, is uniquely created to fit your facial features, smile, and cosmetic goals. Highly aesthetic custom restorations, porcelain veneers are designed to hide a range of imperfections that appear in the smile zone, including small gaps between teeth, slightly crooked teeth, discoloration or stains, and uneven or misshapen teeth. Dental veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that fit over the front portions of your teeth. To achieve proper balance and aesthetic appeal, we often place veneers in pairs or from canine-to-canine. For treatment with porcelain veneers to be successful, the underlying tooth structure should be healthy, and the gum tissues should be free of inflammation or infection. Veneers may not be an ideal option if you grind your teeth heavily at night.

To help you determine if porcelain veneers are a good option for your smile, we will schedule a smile consultation for you at our practice. Our dentists will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw and talk with you to learn all about how you want your smile to look. We will then assist you in choosing the ideal shade for your porcelain veneers and determine the size, length, and shape of these restorations to create a highly aesthetic, natural-looking smile outcome.

The process of receiving porcelain veneers in Sugar Land, TX, for your smile is simple and minimally invasive. Though the procedure is usually very comfortable, we can numb your treatment areas and provide mild sedation if you prefer. Our dentists will begin the procedure by removing a small amount of enamel from each tooth that will receive a veneer. By doing this, we can ensure a proper fit for your veneers that looks and feels like a natural part of your smile. Our team will take an impression of your teeth and send this off to our professional dental lab to custom craft your dental veneers of the highest quality of porcelain or ceramic. In the meantime, we will place temporary veneers on your teeth to maintain cosmetic appeal and function. Porcelain veneers typically take a week or two to complete. When our lab sends your veneers to our office, we will bring you back in to bond them permanently in place and complete your new smile. Our team will make any necessary adjustments and polish your new cosmetic restorations for a smooth look and feel.

Following your veneer preparation visit, you should avoid eating until the anesthesia wears off (if you were numbed for the procedure). There is not much of a recovery period for veneer placement, but you may notice minor tooth sensitivity while you are wearing your temporary restorations. Porcelain veneers are very durable and stain-resistant, but our team will provide instructions on how to best maintain your new smile for lasting results. It is best to minimize the amount of staining foods and beverages that you consume to help keep your smile as bright and white as possible. We do strongly recommend that you avoid biting on pens, ice, or other hard objects as this could chip or damage your veneers. When cared for properly with routine dental visits and daily brushing and flossing, your veneers can serve your smile for many years to come. Our team will continue to monitor your restorations and let you know if any repairs or replacements are needed to maintain your smile.

As a cosmetic dental procedure, porcelain veneers in Sugar Land, TX, may not be covered by dental insurance. Prior to your procedure, a member of our staff will contact your insurance provider and review your list of covered benefits. We will review your personal costs for your care and let you know about our flexible payment options, such as low-interest dental financing through CareCredit® — so that you know how much your veneers cost before they are placed. At Made Ya Smile Dental in Sugar Land, TX, we believe that every patient has the right to achieve a beautiful smile and will work with you to find a solution that places your care within your reach.
