NATURAL PORCELAIN DENTAL VENEERS IN BOULDER, CO
ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM SMILE
Cosmetic dentist Dr. Evans in Boulder, CO can use his mastery of aesthetics to create porcelain dental veneers to help you achieve your dream smile. Even crooked teeth can be straightened with porcelain dental veneers with an incredible cosmetic dentistry technique known as “instant orthodontics”.
In the veneers process, Dr. Evans will sculpt thin shells called porcelain veneers that bond to the surface of your natural teeth. Porcelain is the most frequently used material because of its durability and realistic appearance. In addition, porcelain dental veneers in Boulder, CO are a more conservative restoration alternative to dental crowns since they require less removal of the tooth’s original surface. With porcelain dental veneers in place, cosmetic dentistry patients can expect whiter, straighter teeth. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

THE VENEERS FOR TEETH PROCESS
During the initial visit, Dr. Evans will discuss the process of placing porcelain dental veneers and the options available including shapes, materials types, and color shades for designing your dream smile.
With a plan in place, Dr. Evans will prepare the teeth at the next visit by removing a very small layer of each tooth’s outer enamel to make room for the veneer placement. Dr. Evans will then make a mold (or impression) of your teeth and send it to a dental lab where they create customized natural veneers for the teeth. The lab prepares the porcelain dental veneers in Boulder, CO in roughly 7 to 10 days. In the meantime, patients may choose to have temporary restorations placed on their teeth while waiting for the dental veneers to be prepared. When the veneers are complete, the patient makes a third and final dental visit. Dr. Evans will apply the permanent dental veneers to the tooth or teeth using a bonding material.
FOLLOWING THE PORCELAIN DENTAL
VENEER PROCEDURE
Dental veneers should be cared for in much the same way as natural teeth; this includes daily brushing, flossing, and periodic check-ups. Given the proper care, porcelain veneers can preserve a smile for decades. Initially some cosmetic dentistry patients may experience hot and cold sensitivity in the teeth, however this sensitivity should lessen within a couple weeks. Porcelain dental veneers in Boulder, CO can withstand considerable force when a patient bites down, however they may fracture or break if twisted. Therefore, hard or sharp foods such as ice or pistachios should be avoided since they may cause undue stress to the veneers. If you tend to grind or clench your teeth while sleeping, Dr. Evans can fit you with a mouth guard that will protect your teeth and veneers.
