WHAT ARE PORCELAIN VENEERS?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic material that bond to the front of your teeth. They're custom-made to match your desired shape, size, and color, giving you a completely transformed smile.

Think of veneers as a cosmetic upgrade for your teeth. They can fix chips, cover deep stains that whitening can't remove, close gaps, make teeth look straighter, and even change the length or shape of teeth. The porcelain material mimics the way natural tooth enamel reflects light, so veneers look incredibly natural.

Dr. Morgan uses high-quality porcelain and works with skilled lab technicians to create veneers that fit your face and personality. Whether you want a subtle improvement or a dramatic smile makeover, veneers can deliver the results you're looking for.

WHO BENEFITS FROM VENEERS?

Veneers are perfect for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their front teeth. If you have permanent stains from medication or root canals, chips or cracks, gaps between teeth, or teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven, veneers can create the smile you've always wanted.

Many Richardson patients choose veneers because they want a fast solution. Unlike orthodontics that take months or years, veneers give you a straight-looking smile in just two appointments. They're popular with professionals, people getting married, and anyone who wants to feel more confident about their smile.

The best candidates have healthy teeth and gums. Veneers are cosmetic, so any decay or gum disease needs to be treated first. During your consultation, Dr. Morgan will examine your teeth and let you know if veneers are right for you or if another option would work better.

THE benefits OF PORCELAIN VENEERS

Veneers offer a combination of beauty and durability that other cosmetic treatments can't match. Here's what makes them special.

Dramatic Transformation

Veneers can fix multiple cosmetic issues at once. One set of veneers can whiten, straighten, and reshape your entire smile in just two visits to our Richardson office.

Natural-Looking Results

High-quality porcelain reflects light like natural tooth enamel. Dr. Morgan customizes the shape, color, and translucency so your veneers blend seamlessly with your smile.

Long-Lasting Beauty

With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. They resist staining better than natural teeth, so your smile stays bright for years.

THE VENEER PROCESS

Getting veneers at Ellem Dental is a carefully planned process that results in a smile you'll love. Here's what happens.

Request an appointment

Step 1: Consultation and Smile Design

Dr. Morgan will talk with you about what you want to change and what your dream smile looks like. She'll examine your teeth and take digital photos and X-rays. Together you'll design your new smile, choosing the shape, size, and color of your veneers.

Step 2: Preparation

At your first appointment, Dr. Morgan will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth (usually less than a millimeter). This creates space for the veneers so your teeth don't look bulky. The area is numbed so you're comfortable throughout the procedure.

Step 3: Impressions and Temporaries

Detailed impressions are taken of your prepared teeth. These are sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers will be crafted. Dr. Morgan will place temporary veneers to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile while the permanent ones are being made.

Step 4: Try-In and Adjustments

When your veneers return from the lab (usually in two to three weeks), Dr. Morgan will place them on your teeth temporarily to check the fit, color, and appearance. This is your chance to request any final adjustments before they're permanently bonded.

Step 5: Final Bonding

Once you approve the look, Dr. Morgan will carefully bond the veneers to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. She'll check your bite, make any final refinements, and polish everything to perfection. You'll leave with a brand new smile.

Step 6: Follow-Up

We'll schedule a follow-up visit to make sure you're happy with your veneers and that your bite feels comfortable. Dr. Morgan will answer any questions about caring for your new smile.

CARING FOR YOUR VENEERS

Brush twice a day and floss daily, just like you would with natural teeth. Use a non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the porcelain. Come in for regular cleanings and checkups every six months so Dr. Morgan can check your veneers and keep your gums healthy.

Avoid biting into very hard foods with your front teeth, like apples or corn on the cob. Cut them into smaller pieces instead. Don't use your teeth as tools to open packages or bite your nails. These habits can chip or crack the porcelain.

If you grind your teeth at night, wear a night guard to protect your veneers. Grinding can damage both natural teeth and veneers over time. Dr. Morgan can make a custom night guard that fits comfortably over your veneers.

Porcelain veneers resist staining, but the bonding material at the edges can pick up some discoloration. Limit coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco to keep the margins looking their best. With good care, your veneers can last 15 years or more.
