HOW DO PORCELAIN VENEERS WORK?

These cosmetic wonders can conceal so many different smile imperfections. For example, if you have teeth that are permanently stained or discolored, veneers create the appearance of a bright smile. Teeth that are chipped or broken can look whole again, and even teeth that are somewhat crooked or have gaps between them can be corrected.


Here in Midland, TX, our team is dedicated to exceeding expectations with our high caliber of care. Contact us today to schedule a cosmetic consultation.

PORCELAIN VENEERS TREATMENT PROCESS

Typically, receiving custom porcelain veneers requires two to three appointments at our dental office. You and Dr. Drisdale will first speak about what you hope to achieve through your cosmetic treatment. The dimensions of your mouth, the proportions of your face and even your complexion will have an influence on the final design of your custom veneers. But also, Dr. Drisdale wants to hear what your idea of an attractive smile is.


At the next appointment, he prepares your teeth and takes detailed impressions in order to provide you with temporary veneers and give our dental lab an accurate roadmap for creating your beautiful smile. Dr. Drisdale takes care with the creation of his temporaries so that the patient can see the beautiful way the ceramic restorations will look when the process is completed.


The restorations arrive a few weeks later, and Dr. Drisdale makes necessary adjustments to ensure you’re fully satisfied with the result before he bonds them into place. The photos in our Smile Gallery show the dramatic results Dr. Drisdale has achieved for his patients as a result of his artistry, talent and skill.

  • What are dental implants made of?

    Dental implants are primarily made of titanium, a biocompatible material that is accepted by the body and serves as a strong and sturdy foundation for replacement teeth.

  • How do dental implants prevent bone loss?

    Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants mimic the function of a natural tooth root, stimulating the jawbone when you chew. This stimulation helps maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss typically associated with missing teeth.

  • Can dental implants replace multiple teeth?

    Absolutely, dental implants can replace one, multiple, or all missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges or dentures are often used when multiple teeth are missing.

  • What are All-on-4 and All-on-6 restorations?

    All-on-4 and All-on-6 are techniques that use four or six implants, respectively, to support a full-arch prosthesis. These solutions are often recommended for patients who are missing all their teeth in one or both arches.

  • Do dental implants require special care?

    Dental implants should be cared for like natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential. Although they can't decay, the gums around them can still get gum disease.

  • What is the success rate of dental implant surgery?

    Dental implant surgery has a high success rate, often above 95%. However, success can depend on the dental health of the individual, where in the jaw the implants are placed, and the professional's skill.

  • Are dental implants safe?

    Yes, dental implants are a safe and well-established treatment. Like natural teeth, they will last for a long time if cared for properly.

  • Can anyone get dental implants?

    Most people who are in good general health and have healthy gums and enough bone in the jaw to hold an implant can get dental implants. However, they may not be suitable for everyone, including smokers or individuals with certain chronic diseases.

  • How long does the procedure for dental implants take?

    The procedure can vary depending on the number of implants and the patient's specific condition. Generally, the process, from consultation to the final placement of the implant, can take a few months.

  • How much do dental implants cost, and does insurance cover them?

    The cost of dental implants can vary depending on various factors, including the number of implants and whether bone grafts are needed. Some dental insurance plans do cover part of the cost of implants, but it varies by carrier and plan. It's best to check with your insurance provider for specifics about your coverage.

BENEFITS OF PORCELAIN VENEERS

  • Veneers successfully hide a wide variety of dental flaws, including cracks, chips, stains, discoloration, gaps, and misaligned teeth. We even make corrections to the length and shape of certain teeth if that’s what the patient wants.
  • For patients who don’t want to spend countless months wearing noticeable metal braces, veneers may achieve the same results.
  • Veneers are virtually seamless compared to natural teeth, possessing the same translucent qualities. However, they are more resistant against staining than enamel, which allows you to maintain your newly brightened look longer.


With proper maintenance, veneers can easily last 10 to 20 years.

What to Expect When Getting Veneers

The process of getting veneers typically involves a few key steps:

  1. Consultation and Planning: During your first visit, Dr. Drisdale will assess your dental health and discuss your aesthetic goals. This stage may include taking X-rays or making impressions of your teeth.
  2. Preparation: To prepare your teeth for veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed. This is essential for the veneer to fit seamlessly and look natural.
  3. Fitting: Once your veneers are ready, you'll have a fitting session where each veneer is meticulously adjusted and bonded to ensure perfect alignment and color matching.


UNDERSTANDING THE COST OF DENTAL VENEERS

The cost of dental veneers varies depending on several factors including the material used, the number of teeth being treated, and the complexity of the case. Generally, porcelain veneers are more expensive than composite resin due to their longer lifespan and natural appearance. In Midland, prices can range widely, so a consultation at John K Drisdale DMD will provide you with a detailed and personalized cost estimate.

VENEERS FAQS

Veneers can completely transform your smile, so it’s only natural to want to know as much about them as possible before making such a big change. Dr. Drisdale can address any concerns you might have at your initial consultation, and you can always call our Midland team if there’s something you want to know. To make things a bit easier for you, check out our FAQs listed below; they cover some of the things that many patients tend to ask when they’re considering dental implants.

  • What are porcelain veneers, and how do they work?

    Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They are bonded to your teeth, correcting issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misalignment.

  • Are porcelain veneers a permanent solution?

    While porcelain veneers are highly durable and can last 10-15 years or more with proper care, they are considered a permanent treatment since a small amount of enamel is removed from your teeth during the process.

  • How long does the process of getting porcelain veneers take?

    Typically, the process requires two to three visits: an initial consultation, tooth preparation, and a final visit to bond the veneers. The entire process can take a few weeks.

  • Are porcelain veneers resistant to staining?

    Yes, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, wine, and other staining agents. However, maintaining good oral hygiene is essential to preserve their appearance.

  • Can I get veneers if I have gum disease or other dental issues?

    It’s important to address any underlying dental problems, such as gum disease or cavities, before getting veneers. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and recommend the best course of action.
