Find out how this simple solution offered at our Dearborn, MI, practice can dramatically transform your smile.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are permanently bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Unlike crowns, dental veneers only cover the front surfaces of teeth and are mainly used to treat cosmetic issues.
Veneers crafted from porcelain are extremely long-lasting and natural-looking since porcelain mimics the qualities of natural teeth. When cared for properly, they can last for up to 10 years or more, making them a worthwhile investment.

Investing in Your Results
Why We Use Porcelain
Our thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to give your smile a natural feel and look. Porcelain veneers often cost more than composite and resin materials. However, they are the most natural-looking option for veneers.
They match the natural color of your enamel and are semi-transparent, just like your natural teeth. They are also stain-resistant and durable, making them a long-lasting cosmetic improvement. While you'll need to whiten discolored natural teeth, veneers keep their pearly white sheen over time.

Veneers Can Help You Conceal A Variety of Cosmetic Insecurities
Wondering which types of aesthetic concerns porcelain veneers can address? We often use them to hide common insecurities such as:
Candidates for Veneers
Before beginning treatment, you will meet with one of our Dearborn, MI, dentists to discuss your goals and determine whether dental veneers are right for you. The best candidates for veneers have:
Certain Cosmetic Imperfections
Dental veneers are designed to mask a wide range of dental imperfections, but they may not be the best form of treatment for patients with more mild or more significant dental problems. If you have surface stains on your teeth, teeth whitening alone may be sufficient. If you suffer from extensive misalignment, orthodontic treatment may be a better choice. Lastly, if you have tooth damage, crowns may provide the support you need.
Sufficient Tooth Enamel
The doctor will need to remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for your porcelain veneer. Therefore, patients must have a sufficient amount of healthy tooth enamel to qualify for treatment. Good Oral Health
The best candidates for veneers have good oral health and no decay or periodontal disease. If you have other dental conditions, we will treat these first before recommending cosmetic dentistry.
The Desire for Permanent Change
Veneers require our dentists to make permanent alterations to the natural tooth structure, so the procedure is only a good option for patients who are committed to having porcelain veneers or another type of dental restoration for the rest of their lives.

Need a visual? Placing veneers is a custom process designed to conceal your exact smile concerns. As you can see, each veneer fits smoothly over your teeth. This prevents potential movement and ensures that your new results look as natural as possible.
Nervous About Treatment? We Offer Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas, is offered to our dental patients. While dental sedation is not necessary for dental veneer treatment, it can help ease nerves that often come with extensive dental procedures. Dearborn Family Dentistry offers nitrous oxide to patients because of the many benefits it affords:
Relieves Anxiety
Our dentists will always administer a local anesthetic to numb your mouth for a virtually painless procedure, but nitrous oxide can help calm any anxiety you may have. Patients may experience numbness, lightheadedness, and an overall feeling of calm with nitrous oxide. Still, patients are conscious during the entire procedure, responding to the dentist as usual.
Quick Recovery
Unlike other sedation methods, like IV sedation or oral conscious sedation, the effects of nitrous oxide sedation wear off in only 15 minutes once the mask is removed. Since patients recover quickly from this form of sedation, they can drive themselves home, eliminating the need to arrange a ride before and after treatment.
Lightest Sedation Method
Nitrous oxide is offered to patients of all ages. It's the lightest form of dental sedation, making it a good choice for most patients. While certain medical conditions may inhibit patients from receiving IV sedation, nitrous oxide is safe for many people. Certain medical conditions do prohibit nitrous oxide use, but your dentist will thoroughly check your medical history before administering the drug.
Placing Dental Veneers A New Smile in Two Appointments
We personalize each and every veneer treatment, creating a different plan for all of our patients. The broad strokes typically go something like this:
When cared for properly, veneers can last for up to a decade.
Have Additional Concerns? Consider a Fully Personalized Smile Makeover
Veneers are an excellent option for transforming your front teeth. If you have additional concerns, you may want to consider a comprehensive smile makeover. Each plan is completely customized to your needs. For example, if you have widespread staining our dentists can whiten your teeth before veneer placement. Or, they can use gum contouring to remove excess tissue for a more balanced smile.

Restorative vs. Cosmetic Procedures What's the Difference?
Some patients come to us thinking they need veneers, when really they require a crown — or vice versa. We use veneers for cosmetic concerns and crowns for restorative ones. Not sure how to tell the difference? We'll give you a quick rundown.
Cosmetic
Cosmetic dental procedures are focused on transforming the aesthetics of your smile. They are not medically necessary to maintain good oral health, which means insurance won't cover the cost of treatment. Veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure since they mask the dental problem rather than structurally fix it. You can help extend the life of cosmetic procedures like veneers through good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings.
Restorative
Restorative dental procedures are focused on improving your overall oral health. Since these procedures are deemed medically necessary, insurance will often cover at least a part of the procedure's cost. The goal of restorative dentistry is primarily to improve the function of your teeth, not the look of your smile. While a side effect may be an improvement in the appearance of your smile, this is not the prime focus of the procedure.
