Naples Veneers

Naples Cosmetic Dental Veneers

Veneers are a widely used cosmetic dental procedure in which our Naples dentist places a covering over the front (visible) part of your tooth. Porcelain veneers are usually only applied to teeth that will be visible when a patient is talking or smiling.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

You may be a good candidate for porcelain veneers if your teeth are chipped, stained, or gapped. They can also help if the enamel on your teeth are badly worn or if your teeth are not properly aligned. The Modern Dentist can provide excellent cosmetic dentistry services and smile enhancement through the application of porcelain veneers.

Porcelain Veneers Procedure

The procedure we use for porcelain veneers at The Modern Dentist can be either direct or indirect.

The direct technique usually involves placing composite resin on the outside of the tooth using a procedure called bonding. The indirect technique usually involves two appointments since the veneers will have to be fabricated at a dental laboratory.

During your first appointment, we will prepare your teeth, take impressions of them, and protect your teeth with a temporary covering. Then, we’ll send your impressions to a dental lab so they can make your permanent veneers.

It usually takes two to three weeks for your new veneers to return from the lab. At your second appointment, we’ll remove the temporary coverings and replace them with your permanent porcelain veneers. These laboratory-fabricated veneers are typically made from porcelain or pressed ceramic and look very much like natural teeth.

The advantage of veneers over crowns is that much less tooth material is removed. This makes the procedure more comfortable for the patient.
