Five Things You Need To Know About Porcelain Veneers

Before venturing into the beautifying of your smile with porcelain veneers, there are five things you need to know.

So here they are:

1. Choose The Right Dental Office: There is no such thing as a Cosmetic Dentist. Most dentists today can provide you porcelain veneers. The only difference is their ability and the lab they choose to use to create the veneer. Not all dentists are the same and certainly not all dental laboratories are the same. Find someone who has had beautiful veneers and ask them for a referral. Go onto the web and check out dentists in your area and be sure to look at their photo libraries. One caveat, don't be fooled by before and afters that are bought online. Be sure they are real patients that the dentist has restored himself. If necessary ask for the ability to actually talk to that patient. Follow this link for a FREE copy of our Cosmetic Report.
2. Don't Be Fooled By Price - "Cheap is not good with parachutes or porcelain veneers". Yeah, I know I paraphrased this a bit but you get the point. Buying porcelain veneers by price is as silly as buying the cheapest parachute. Once your porcelain veneers are placed it game over. Tough to correct them if they are done poorly. There is never a guarantee that just because someone charges a higher fee that the restoration will be better, but on the other hand, cheap is usually cheap.
3. Check Out The Office First - You CAN tell a book by its cover. If the dentist has a sloppy office, poorly furnished, torn carpeting etc. you can sort of get the idea that cosmetics is just not all that important.
4. Staff Does Count - When you visit the office make sure it is a place where you are totally comfortable. You will most likely be a patient there for years since porcelain veneers do require maintenance. If the staff is not warm, friendly, professional and concerned about you. then find another office.
5. Get A Preview - In our office we always do what we call a cosmetic design consult. We take impressions of you existing teeth, have our laboratory create a beautiful smile in wax and then we use that model to discuss your smile and then to create your temporary restoration. You then get a chance to wear your temps (which are a representation of the final result) and make any critiques before the final porcelain veneers are placed. It's like a "test drive".
6. Never Allow Permanent Placement Before You're Thrilled - I know this is number six, but a very important point to make. At the final try-in visit, before the dentist bonds the porcelain veneers, make sure he/she tried them on and you get a good chance to take a look and approve. If you're not happy, this is the time to make your complaints known. It's very difficult to make any major changes once the porcelain veneers are bonded permanently in place.
