How we make gaps, chips, and other cosmetic concerns disappear with strong and stunning porcelain veneers

Gaps between the teeth, stubborn stains, and chips are among the most common cosmetic complaints patients have. With the expertise of our dentists, Dr. Masoud E. Najari and Dr. Jacqueline T. Nguyen, at Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry,  these imperfections can be improved through your Smile Makeover. In just a few appointments at our office in Murphy, Texas, the doctors can transform the appearance of your smile with porcelain veneers.

What are porcelain veneers?

Veneers are made from thin pieces of durable, high-quality porcelain and bonded to your front teeth to erase common flaws like those listed above. In most cases, a full veneers procedure can be completed in as few as two visits. One of the most significant advantages of this cosmetic service is that it can address multiple imperfections at once, such as staining, discoloration, gaps, cracks, chips, and even misalignment. What’s more, you can enjoy your new and improved smile for well over a decade with proper care and maintenance.

Why do you use porcelain?

Porcelain is commonly used to make veneers because it replicates the aesthetics and strength of natural tooth enamel. Plus, porcelain also resists stains very well.

Am I a good candidate for treatment?

Following your consultation, we may find that veneers are appropriate as long as your teeth and gums are healthy and the conditions are treatable with these thin layers of dental porcelain. Additionally, if you have any habits/risk factors for veneer damage, we will want to discuss those in advance and work on solutions to address them. For instance, patients who grind their teeth may be fitted with a custom night guard to protect their new veneers from damage.

What are the treatable conditions?

Patients with deep or intrinsic staining and discoloration may be good candidates for veneers, especially if they have tried professional interventions – with lackluster results. We can also apply and secure veneers to disguise chips, small cracks, gaps, and other spacing issues and even to reshape and add length to an oddly contoured or worn-down tooth.

How do you place veneers?

Veneers treatment is generally made up of two phases:

  •  During your initial appointment, Dr. Masoud E. Najari will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from your front surfaces. This step ensures your veneers will fit properly and look natural. A temporary set of veneers is applied while our skilled lab partners craft your permanent porcelain veneers.
  • When your custom made veneers are ready, they will be permanently secured to the natural.  Once bonded, share your beautiful smile! That’s it. It’s really that easy!!!!

Additionally, veneers that are planned and placed by our professional team at Murphy Family Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry are painless and cause little to no discomfort. Little more than localized anesthetic may be necessary as the teeth are prepared and a tiny layer of enamel is removed. We design your veneers with comfortable yet advanced diagnostic digital impressions; No more impression Goop! You can be assured that we support the safest, healthiest, and most pleasant experience at every step of the process. Call our Murphy, TX office at (972) 808-5023.
