These FAQs from our patients explain more about dental veneers:
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, custom-crafted coverings fitted over the surface of imperfect teeth to improve their appearance. Using veneers, Dr. Fritz can erase chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and other flaws in your teeth to make your smile appear unblemished. Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted in a lab, using impressions of your existing teeth to achieve a completely natural appearance.
How can veneers be used?
Porcelain veneers are mainly used to enhance the aesthetics of your smile. In the process, they can also strengthen chipped or cracked teeth, making them less prone to breakage in the future.Â
The following are some of the imperfections corrected by veneers:
- Stains and discolorations  Â
- Chips and cracks
- Short or irregularly sized teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Uneven teeth or teeth that are slightly out of alignment

What’s the process for getting veneers?
Dr. Fritz will schedule a consultation to evaluate your smile needs. Together we’ll design your perfect smile and map out a personalized treatment plan. The next step is preparing your teeth for veneers by gently shaving off a small amount of your tooth enamel to create space for the veneers. Impressions will then be taken of your prepped teeth and sent to an off-site lab, where your porcelain restorations will be created. When they’re ready, we’ll place the veneers over your teeth, ensure they fit accurately and naturally, and then bond them in place permanently.
How long do veneers last?
With good upkeep, porcelain veneers can last 15 years or more. Quality dental care is the secret to keeping veneered teeth looking great year after year. This includes brushing and flossing daily, scheduling regular dental cleanings, avoiding hard food, and not using your teeth as tools. If you grind your teeth, consider wearing a night guard to prevent premature damage to your veneers. Similarly, wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth from accidents on the sports field.
What kind of dentist is best for veneer treatment? Â
As veneers are a cosmetic treatment, it’s best to see a cosmetic dentist with extensive training, knowledge of veneer technology, and experience in this field. A cosmetic dentist can help you design your perfect smile, answer questions about the veneer process, and guide you in making informed choices to achieve the best possible results from your procedure.
