Veneers: Achieve the Smile You've Always Wanted

 

At Generations Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in their smile. Whether you want to restore your smile or completely transform it, dental veneers are a great option to help you achieve the look you’ve always dreamed of. Under the expert care of Dr. Lindsay Compton, veneers are one of our most popular and rewarding treatments, and it’s easy to see why.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain or composite material that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of your smile by correcting issues such as:

  • Discoloration: If your teeth are stained or discolored and whitening treatments aren’t effective, veneers can restore your teeth to a bright, natural-looking shade.

  • Chips or Cracks: Veneers can easily cover up small chips, cracks, or other imperfections in your teeth, giving you a smooth, even smile.

  • Misshapen or Uneven Teeth: Whether your teeth are uneven in size or shape, veneers can help balance out your smile, creating a harmonious look.

  • Gaps Between Teeth: Veneers can close small gaps and give you a more uniform smile without the need for braces.

Why Choose Veneers?

Veneers are one of Dr. Lindsay Compton’s favorite procedures because they allow her to collaborate with patients to achieve their ideal smile. Whether it’s subtle changes or a complete smile makeover, veneers can create stunning results with minimal invasiveness.

Dr. Compton loves working with her patients to bring out their natural beauty and create smiles that make them feel proud and confident. She takes the time to understand your desires and goals, ensuring that the veneers not only improve the aesthetics of your smile but also look and feel completely natural.

The Veneer Process: Straightforward and Comfortable

One of the reasons veneers are so popular is that the process is relatively simple, and at Generations Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve streamlined it to make the experience as comfortable and easy as possible for you. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Initial Consultation: The process starts with a thorough consultation with Dr. Compton, where she will listen to your goals for your smile. She’ll examine your teeth, discuss your options, and determine if veneers are the best solution for you.

  2. Digital Scanning: We use advanced digital scanning technology to take precise, 3D images of your teeth. This eliminates the need for messy impressions and ensures that your veneers are custom-crafted to fit your smile perfectly.

  3. Customization: Dr. Compton will work with you to choose the right shade, shape, and size for your veneers. This ensures that your new smile will be both beautiful and natural-looking.

  4. Preparation and Placement: Once your custom veneers are ready, Dr. Compton will prepare your teeth by gently removing a small amount of enamel. This allows the veneers to fit seamlessly over your teeth. The veneers will then be carefully bonded to your teeth, providing a durable and aesthetic result.

  5. Final Touches: Once the veneers are in place, Dr. Compton will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that they look and feel just right. The result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you can enjoy for years to come!

How Long Do Veneers Last?

Veneers are highly durable and, with proper care, can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or longer. They are resistant to staining and can maintain their beautiful appearance for years. To ensure the longevity of your veneers, it's important to:

  • Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

  • Avoid biting hard objects: While veneers are strong, avoid biting on hard objects (such as ice or pens) to prevent damage.

  • Wear a nightguard: If you grind your teeth at night, wearing a nightguard can help protect your veneers from unnecessary wear and tear.
