Have you ever dreamed of a flawless smile that lights up a room? At Comfydent Smiles in Bee Cave, TX, we turn that dream into reality. Led by the skilled and compassionate Dr. Sonja Ellis, our team specializes in creating stunning smiles with dental veneers. But what exactly are veneers, and how can they transform your smile?

The Types of Veneers Available

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They improve your smile by adjusting the color, shape, size, or length of your teeth. At Comfydent Smiles, we offer two primary types of veneers:

  • Porcelain Veneers: Known for their durability and natural appearance, porcelain veneers resist stains better than resin veneers and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.
  • Composite Resin Veneers: These are made from a tooth-colored filling material that is applied to the tooth. They are less invasive than porcelain veneers and often require less tooth enamel removal.

Dr. Ellis will guide you through choosing the best type for your unique smile.

The Process of Getting Veneers

Transforming your smile with veneers involves a few key steps:

  • Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Ellis. She will discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your teeth, and determine if veneers are the right choice for you.
  • Preparation: To prepare for veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface. This process is painless and ensures a perfect fit for your veneers.
  • Impression: We then make a model or impression of your tooth. This model is sent out to a dental laboratory, where your veneers are crafted.
  • Fitting: Once your veneers are ready, Dr. Ellis will temporarily place them on your teeth to examine their fit and color, making any necessary adjustments.
  • Bonding: Finally, your teeth are cleaned, polished, and etched to allow the veneer to adhere properly. A special cement is applied to the veneer, which is then placed on your tooth. Once properly positioned, a special light beam activates chemicals in the cement, causing it to harden quickly.

Caring for Your New Veneers

Maintaining your new veneers is straightforward:

  • Brush and floss daily, just as you would your natural teeth.
  • Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packaging or bite nails.
  • Wear a mouthguard if you play contact sports.
  • Visit Comfydent Smiles for regular checkups and cleanings.
