Dental Veneers in West Allis, WI

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, enhancing their appearance. These veneers are crafted from porcelain, ensuring durability and a natural look that complements your individual style.

Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for treating various dental issues, including chipped, broken, discolored, or slightly misaligned teeth. You can achieve a brighter, more even smile in just a few visits by choosing veneers. The procedure involves preparing your natural teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the veneer, ensuring a seamless fit and a flawless finish.

At Third Coast Family Dental, we believe in providing treatments that improve aesthetics and protect your dental health. Porcelain veneers offer a strong, stain-resistant surface, promoting a healthier smile for years.

  • How do dental veneers work?

    Dental veneers are thin coverings that improve the appearance of teeth. Here’s a condensed overview of the process:

    1. Consultation: Assess teeth and plan the treatment.
    2. Tooth Preparation: Remove a small amount of enamel to fit the veneer.
    3. Impression Taking: Create a mold of the teeth for custom veneers.
    4. Veneer Fabrication: Craft veneers in a dental lab.
    5. Fitting: Temporarily place and adjust the veneers.
    6. Bonding: Attach the veneers permanently using special cement and a light beam to harden it.
    7. Final Adjustments: Make any necessary tweaks and schedule a follow-up.

    This process provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for various dental issues.

  • What types of dental veneers are available?

    Dental veneers are available in several types, each with distinct characteristics:

    1. Porcelain Veneers: Highly durable and stain-resistant, these veneers mimic natural teeth and require some enamel removal.
    2. Composite Resin Veneers: Less expensive and crafted in a single visit, these are less durable than porcelain but can be easily repaired.
    3. Lumineers: Ultra-thin porcelain veneers often require no tooth preparation, making them reversible, though they may not fully hide severe discolorations.
    4. Removable Veneers (Snap-On Veneers): Temporary and removable, these do not alter natural teeth and are the least expensive option.

    Each type suits different needs and budgets, with choices ranging from permanent enhancements to temporary cosmetic improvements.

  • How long do dental veneers last?

    Dental veneers vary in longevity based on their material and maintenance:

    1. Porcelain Veneers: Highly durable, they typically last 10-20 years.
    2. Composite Resin Veneers: These have a shorter lifespan of about 5-7 years due to being less robust.
    3. Lumineers: Similar to traditional porcelain, they can last over a decade, though their thinner structure may impact durability.
    4. Removable Veneers (Snap-On Veneers): Designed for temporary use, they can last a few years with proper care.

    The lifespan of all types of veneers can be extended with good oral hygiene, careful eating habits, and regular dental visits.
