Dental Veneers Rio Rancho, NM

Our skilled dentist may recommend dental veneers to remove the imperfections in your teeth and help you achieve the picture-perfect smile that you have always wanted.

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells crafted from porcelain or composite resin that are affixed to the front surfaces of your teeth. They are designed to cover the visible part of your teeth, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile. Dr. Duane Marshall may recommend dental veneers to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, such as discolored, chipped or slightly misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers are particularly popular because they mimic the light-reflecting properties and texture of natural tooth enamel. Moreover, porcelain is resistant to stains from coffee, tea and cigarette smoke, ensuring your smile remains bright and vibrant for years. 

The Dental Veneers Process

The process of getting dental veneers typically involves two visits to Mountain View Dentistry, encompassing consultation, customization and application. During your initial consultation, our dentist will assess your dental health and discuss your aesthetic goals. If veneers are suitable for you, we proceed by taking an impression of your teeth. This model is sent to a dental lab where your custom veneers are meticulously crafted. In a subsequent visit, your teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. Finally, the veneers are carefully bonded to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile. 

Benefits of Dental Veneers

Choosing dental veneers can significantly improve your smile and self-confidence. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Veneers provide a natural tooth appearance and can dramatically enhance your smile by aligning the shape, size and color of your teeth.
• Durability: Both porcelain and composite veneers are durable and long-lasting, with porcelain veneers typically lasting 10 to 15 years, and composite veneers about five to seven years, depending on your oral hygiene and care.
• Minimally Invasive: Veneers require a minimal amount of your tooth’s structure to be altered, which is advantageous over other dental procedures like crowns.
• Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, which means your veneers will not discolor over time like natural teeth often do.
