Why We Use Porcelain Veneers
Veneers can be transformative for clients with various minor cosmetic dental concerns, and they have the benefit of only requiring one procedure to get the smile you want and significantly boost your self-esteem. If you are interested in multiple treatments like teeth whitening, orthodontics, and invasive restoration, veneers can offer a comprehensive solution in as few as two dentist visits.
Our clients may come in to discuss their veneer options after having done the research and learned there are different types of veneers, including no-prep or chair-side resin ones. At John H. Cho, DDS, we prefer using porcelain veneers for a variety of reasons.
Porcelain veneers have greater restorative capabilities than other types and provide lasting beautiful aesthetics. They also offer superior longevity and are an appropriate fit for most individuals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the process of getting veneers hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. Dr. Cho uses local anesthesia during the preparation phase to ensure you are comfortable while the teeth are being shaped. After the procedure, some patients report mild sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures for a few days, but this quickly subsides as the teeth adjust to the new restorations.
How do I choose the right shade of white for my veneers?
Choosing a shade is a collaborative process between you and Dr. Cho. The goal is usually to find a balance between a bright, "red-carpet" look and a natural appearance that complements your skin tone and the whites of your eyes. Dr. Cho uses high-quality shade guides and digital imaging to help you select a color that looks vibrant yet believable.
Can I get veneers if I have a history of gum disease?
Before starting any cosmetic transformation, Dr. Cho ensures that your foundational oral health is solid. If you have active gum disease, it must be treated and stabilized first. Placing veneers on unhealthy gums can lead to recession or even the failure of the restoration, so we prioritize a healthy environment for your new smile.
