What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover the front surfaces of anterior teeth. They can conceal a range of imperfections, from chips and cracks to stains and gaps. Each veneer is custom-crafted to look completely natural so that everyone around you notices your stunning smile—not your dental work.

Dental veneers can be made from several different materials, but Nordhus Dentistry prefers porcelain for its unbeatable aesthetic benefits. Porcelain is a semi-translucent material, so porcelain veneers reflect light in the same way natural enamel does. The material's shade can also be easily customized to match the look of the natural surrounding teeth or to give your smile a brightened boost.

A Closer Look At What Veneers Can Treat

Minor Chips

Accidents happen. Over the course of many years, small chips can accumulate and blemish an otherwise attractive and healthy smile. If your teeth have suffered damage that cannot be addressed through cosmetic bonding, our office can fabricate a thin porcelain shell that can cover your teeth and transform the appearance of your smile.

Discoloration

Teeth whitening can only address mild extrinsic stains. Staining that affects the deeper layers of your tooth, such as those that result from tetracycline, does not respond to teeth whitening. If your teeth are severely discolored, porcelain veneers from our Wichita dental office can brighten your teeth by several shades.

Misshapen Teeth

Veneers can make teeth appear to have a completely different shape. Dental veneers can be fabricated to enhance the appearance of a small tooth or teeth or to fill gaps between teeth. If the size or shape of your tooth has been bothering you, our dentist has the right solution.

The Veneers Timeline At Nordhus Dentistry

Veneers typically require two visits to our office over a period of a few weeks. In general, here is what you can expect during this dental treatment: 
Reshaping the teeth and placing the veneers isn't especially uncomfortable, but sedation is available upon request to put you at ease.
Reshaping the teeth and placing the veneers isn't especially uncomfortable, but sedation is available upon request to put you at ease.

Preparing Your Teeth

Before your dental veneers can be fabricated, each tooth you wish to treat must be prepared. This requires the removal of a thin layer of enamel. Dr. Nordhus will perform this straightforward procedure with your comfort in mind. Beyond local anesthesia, our office offers multiple sedation options that can help you relax throughout your treatment. 

Taking Digital Impressions

We'll take digital images of your teeth after they're prepped. Our office uses iTero 3D digital technology that can take highly accurate digital images. Before you leave, you will be fitted with temporary veneers. The digital impression will be sent to a lab to guide technicians in creating your porcelain veneers.

Crafting Your Veneers

Over the course of the next few weeks, your dental veneers will be fabricated at a trusted laboratory. Once they arrive at our office, your second and final appointment will be made. Dr. Nordhus will ensure that the porcelain veneers meet your expectations.

Placing Your Veneers

Once Dr. Nordhus is sure that the dental veneers are an ideal fit, he will attach them using a strong cement. Complications following this treatment are rare, but some patients report heightened sensitivity in the days or weeks following treatment.

Are Veneers Covered by Insurance?

Because veneers are an elective cosmetic treatment, they are unfortunately not covered by dental insurance. However, we accept flexible financing through CareCredit® to keep all of our treatments affordable. You can secure a loan for your veneers and repay it in monthly installments that work for your budget.

Maintaining Your Results

You will be given detailed instructions on how to maintain your veneers, including:

  • Don't use your teeth to tear or pry open objects or packages. Doing so could cause your porcelain veneers to come loose.
  • You'll want to take steps to maintain optimal oral health so your underlying tooth structure does not develop decay. 
  • Though porcelain is stain-resistant, try to minimize the consumption of staining foods and drinks to keep them brighter for longer.

Want a More Comprehensive Enhancement? Consider a Smile Makeover

Some of our patients from West Wichita and surrounding areas can benefit from a comprehensive dental treatment called a smile makeover. The fully customizable treatment can save you time and money.
