Porcelain Veneers in Boca Raton, FL

Looking for veneers in Boca Raton? Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct stains that whitening cannot fix, chips, small gaps, worn edges and mildly crooked or uneven teeth. Dr. Arelis Martone designs each veneer to match the shape, shade and translucency of your natural smile, so the result looks like you, only brighter. The procedure usually takes three appointments at our office at 5030 Champion Blvd in Boca Raton, FL 33496, and veneers are one of the most requested treatments in our cosmetic dentistry practice.

You come in for the exam, and then return to have your teeth prepared. A thin layer of enamel is trimmed off from the front of your teeth, to provide space for the veneer to be bonded to. You receive a temporary veneer depending on how much tooth structure is removed and then it is sent off to a lab for fabrication. During the last visit the veneer is checked for fit, and once you and the dentist are satisfied with the look, it is bonded.

Veneers are a good fit if your teeth are healthy but you are unhappy with how they look. Common reasons Boca Raton patients choose veneers include deep or uneven discoloration, chipped or worn front teeth, small gaps, and teeth that are slightly crooked or different sizes. You should have enough healthy enamel for bonding and be free of active gum disease or untreated decay. If you grind or clench your teeth, Dr. Martone may recommend a night guard to protect your new veneers. A consultation and exam will confirm whether veneers, bonding or another cosmetic option is the best choice for your smile.

Porcelain veneers are fabricated in a dental lab from thin ceramic that mimics the light-reflecting quality of natural enamel. They resist stains, hold their color and typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with good care. Composite veneers are sculpted directly onto the tooth in a single visit using tooth-colored resin. They cost less up front and are easier to repair, but they are more prone to staining and usually need replacement sooner. Most patients who want a long-lasting smile makeover choose porcelain; composite can be a good option for a single chipped tooth or a shorter-term fix.

If your main concern is color and your teeth are otherwise even and intact, professional Zoom teeth whitening is the simplest place to start, and many patients whiten first so their veneers can be matched to a brighter shade. Dental bonding is a conservative way to repair a single small chip or gap. Veneers are the right choice when you want to change the color, shape and alignment of several front teeth at once and want results that hold up for years.

Veneers are cared for much like natural teeth: brush twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily and keep up with cleanings and checkups at our Boca Raton office. Avoid biting ice, pens or hard candy, and do not use your teeth to open packages. If you play contact sports or grind at night, wear a guard. With these habits, porcelain veneers routinely stay beautiful for well over a decade.
