What Can Veneers Treat?
Tooth veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells that we bond to the front of your teeth. They can cover one or more teeth that show when you smile. Veneers can address multiple cosmetic concerns:
- Stained or discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Worn teeth from grinding or aging
- Minor gaps or spacing issues
- Slightly crooked or misaligned teeth
- Misshapen or irregularly sized teeth
Dr. Fisher will examine your teeth before he recommends the right cosmetic option for you. He may recommend veneers if you have minor cosmetic issues and want results that last.
The Benefits of Porcelain Veneers in Omaha, NE
Porcelain veneers offer a wide range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for improving your smile. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Natural, Beautiful Appearance: Dr. Fisher works with master ceramists who hand-craft each veneer to match the translucency, color variations, and light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. His Dawson Academy training in facial aesthetics ensures your veneers complement your features rather than looking artificial or “fake.”
- Durability: Porcelain is incredibly strong, but veneer longevity depends on proper bite analysis. Dr. Fisher starts with a complete evaluation of your smile. He ensures your veneers are designed to handle the forces of your bite so they last for years without problems.
- Stain-Resistant Material: Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers resist stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Your smile stays bright for years without frequent whitening treatments.
- Conservative Tooth Preparation: Dr. Fisher’s Dawson training emphasizes conservative dentistry. He only removes the minimal enamel necessary for proper veneer placement. This preserves your natural tooth structure.
- Increased Confidence: Your confidence in your smile can affect your work, relationships, and how you feel about yourself. Dr. Fisher’s patients consistently report feeling more confident and outgoing after veneer treatment.
What to Expect When Getting Porcelain Veneers
Getting porcelain veneers in our Omaha, NE office is a straightforward process that typically involves a few visits. Here’s what you can expect.
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation
Dr. Fisher begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, bite, and facial aesthetics. He’ll discuss your smile goals, show you examples of previous work, and explain how veneers will transform your specific smile. Dr. Fisher uses his Dawson Academy training to design a smile that complements your facial features.
Digital Smile Preview (When Appropriate)
For many patients, Dr. Fisher can create a digital preview showing how veneers will look on their teeth. He wants to help you visualize your smile transformation before your treatment.
Step 2: Preparation
Dr. Fisher carefully prepares your teeth by removing a minimal amount of enamel (typically less than a millimeter). This conservative approach preserves as much tooth structure as possible while ensuring proper veneer fit. He also uses local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
Step 3: Precision Impressions
Using advanced impression techniques, Dr. Fisher captures exact models of your prepared teeth. These impressions go to a master ceramist who hand-crafts your veneers to Dr. Fisher’s precise specifications. You’ll wear temporary veneers for 2-3 weeks while your permanent veneers are being created.
Step 4: Expert Placement
When your custom veneers return from the lab, Dr. Fisher carefully evaluates the fit, color, and look. He makes any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect alignment with your bite. The bonding process is painless, and you’ll leave with a transformed smile.
Follow-Up Care
Dr. Fisher schedules follow-up appointments to ensure your veneers feel comfortable and your bite functions properly. This ongoing attention ensures long-term success.
Porcelain Veneers FAQs
Do you have more questions for us? We’re here to help. Read answers to common questions about dental veneers in Omaha, NE.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining their longevity.
Are veneers reversible?
No, getting veneers is a permanent decision. To place veneers, your dentist must remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth. Once this enamel is removed, it doesn’t grow back. You’ll always need veneers or another type of covering on those teeth.
However, veneers last for years, and many patients find the results well worth the commitment.
Do veneers require special care?
Care for them exactly like your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss daily, and see Dr. Fisher for regular checkups. No special maintenance required. We also recommend that you avoid using your teeth as tools or biting extremely hard objects.
Can I eat normally with veneers?
Yes, you can eat most foods with veneers. However, you should avoid biting into very hard foods or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage.
Will my veneers look different from my natural teeth?
No, when done correctly, veneers should blend seamlessly with your natural teeth so well that most people won’t notice you have them.
Dr. Fisher works with skilled ceramists who hand-craft each veneer to match your natural teeth. They carefully replicate the subtle color variations, translucency, and light-reflecting qualities that make real teeth look natural.
During your consultation, Dr. Fisher will discuss the exact shade you want. Some patients prefer veneers that match their current teeth, while others want a slightly brighter smile. Either way, the goal is natural-looking results that complement your facial features.
