Revitalize Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers 

A confident smile can leave a lasting impression, and if you’re looking to enhance the appearance of your teeth, porcelain veneers can be an excellent solution. At Corner Stone Dental, our Swansea, IL dentist, Dr. Randall E. Wilson offers high-quality porcelain veneers that can transform your smile and give you the confidence you deserve. 

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from high-quality dental porcelain, which closely resembles the natural color and texture of your teeth. Veneers are an effective cosmetic dentistry treatment that can address a range of dental concerns, including chipped, cracked, stained, or misaligned teeth, giving you a flawless and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

• Enhanced Appearance: Porcelain veneers can significantly improve the appearance of your smile by correcting various dental imperfections. They can provide a whiter, straighter, and more symmetrical smile, boosting your self-confidence and overall attractiveness.
• Natural Look: The dental porcelain used for veneers mimics the translucency and color of natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile. The material is stain-resistant, ensuring your veneers maintain their appearance over time.
• Durable and Long-lasting: With proper care and maintenance, porcelain veneers can last for many years. They are highly resistant to chipping and staining, offering a durable solution for improving your smile.
• Minimally Invasive: The process of getting porcelain veneers is minimally invasive compared to other dental procedures. Only a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the teeth to accommodate the veneers, preserving the overall tooth structure.

Candidacy for Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can be an excellent option for individuals with the following dental concerns:

• Discolored or stained teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening treatments.
• Chipped or cracked teeth.
• Gaps or spaces between teeth.
• Slightly misaligned or crooked teeth.
• Irregularly shaped or worn down teeth.

How the Procedure Works

• Consultation: Your journey to a beautiful smile begins with an initial consultation at Corner Stone Dental. During this appointment, your Swansea dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if porcelain veneers are suitable for you.
• Preparation: If you decide to proceed with porcelain veneers, Dr. Wilson will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the front surface. This step ensures a proper fit for the veneers and helps achieve optimal results.
• Impressions: After tooth preparation, Dr. Wilson will take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to a dental laboratory. These impressions serve as a blueprint for the creation of your custom-made porcelain veneers.
• Temporary Veneers: While your permanent veneers are being fabricated, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth and maintain your appearance.
• Bonding: Once your custom veneers are ready, your dentist will check their fit, color, and shape. The veneers will be carefully bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive, and any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a perfect fit.
• Final Touches: After bonding the veneers, your Swansea dentist will make final adjustments as needed to achieve proper bite alignment and aesthetics. Your new smile will be polished, and you’ll leave the office with a dazzling, transformed smile.
