CEREC Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are made of the highest grade of porcelain that is customized to fit perfectly over your natural teeth, which beautifully transforms your smile. Veneers are permanently bonded to the surface of your tooth, which ensures the restoration will not shift or slip out of place. Enjoy eating all your favorite foods with comfort and peace of mind. However, hard candies and other food that could chip any teeth, including veneers, is always advised against for your oral health.

Reasons to Get Dental Veneers

Dental veneers can fix a number of dental problems, including but not limited to:

  • Teeth with gaps between them
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Unaligned, irregular shaped or uneven teeth
  • Worn down teeth
  • Discolored teeth

The Advantages of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers also give patients several advantages over cosmetic alternatives, which include:

  • Although faux, they give off the appearance of being a natural tooth.
  • Gum tissue works well with porcelain.
  • Veneers do not usually require the type of shaping that crowns need.
  • Veneers can be carefully selected so that darker teeth appear whiter.
  • Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant.

Ideal Candidates for Restorative Dental Products 

At Lakefront Family Dentistry, Dr. Hauser does a thorough examination of each patient that comes to his private practice to see if they are a correct fit for a desired procedure.

The CEREC Procedure

CEREC technology allows dentists to produce high-quality veneers by using three-dimensional, computer-assisted design software combined with a computer-assisted milling device.

With this system, dentists can create custom-fitted dental veneers in one visit. Before this system was introduced, patients would have to make multiple visits to get a veneer, which were usually manufactured at offsite locations and required several fittings before being permanently connected.

Dental impressions are now made in-house with high-resolution, three-dimensional cameras and computer-aided software in just a short time (within minutes).

The Benefits of CEREC

  • Crowns are permanently bonded and can last 10 years or longer with proper care.
  • The material used allows the crowns to expand and contract just as a natural tooth would.
  • Reduces the risk of discomfort and bacteria leakage into the site.
  • More natural tooth enamel is preserved.
  • There is no need for sticky tooth impression molds that are generally needed to manufacture dental veneers.
  • Patients have less chair time—one visit is all you need!
  • The ceramic does not contain mercury or toxic metals.
  • This technology is accurate and precise.

Proper Care for Porcelain Veneers

Proper veneer care is simple—treat them as though they were your natural teeth, with routine flossing and brushing. Your dentist may recommend using non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Always choose an ADA-recommended toothpaste.

It is recommended for patients to get a follow-up appointment one week after they receive a veneer placement to make sure they are comfortable and make any adjustments, which takes minutes. The follow-up allows the dentist to know how the patient is doing and allows patients to ask any questions.
