Porcelain Veneers: Designing Your Smile Makeover for Lasting Aesthetic Results

A beautiful smile can have a lasting impact on your confidence, self-image, and even your interactions with others. At Earwood Dentistry, Dr. Amy Earwood and Regina Trease offer a personalized, compassionate approach to cosmetic dentistry, helping patients throughout Raleigh achieve naturally stunning smiles with porcelain veneers. 

Whether you're looking to correct chips, discoloration, gaps, or uneven teeth, veneers offer a highly customizable and minimally invasive solution that blends artistry with advanced dental technology.

What Are Porcelain Veneers and How Do They Work?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells that bond to the front surface of your teeth to improve their shape, color, and alignment. Made from durable ceramic material, they mimic the natural translucency of enamel for a flawless yet authentic look. 

The process is both transformational and conservative, preserving most of your tooth structure while delivering significant cosmetic improvement. Patients consider veneers to address issues like:

• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Stubborn stains that whitening can't treat
• Worn or uneven tooth edges
• Gaps or minor alignment concerns
• Misshapen or proportionally small teeth

At Earwood Dentistry, we use advanced imaging technology, including iTero® scanners, for accurate design and previewing. This means your smile makeover is tailored to your facial features, bite, and aesthetic goals with precision and comfort in mind.

What to Expect During the Porcelain Veneers Process

We believe your journey to a better smile should feel exciting, not intimidating. Our warm, welcoming team guides you through each stage of the veneers process with clarity and comfort, all from our conveniently located office. Your porcelain veneers treatment typically includes:

• Consultation & Smile Preview: We discuss your smile goals, health history, and preview your new look digitally.
• Minimal Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is gently removed to allow space for the veneers.
• Custom Fabrication: Using precise impressions, your veneers are crafted to fit naturally and match your ideal shape and shade.
• Final Placement: Each veneer is bonded securely to your tooth, followed by a final polish and bite adjustment.

Because of our commitment to advanced technology and patient comfort, the entire process is seamless, efficient, and often completed in just two visits.

Longevity and Care: Making Your Veneers Last

Porcelain veneers are designed for durability. They can last 10 to 15 years or longer with the right maintenance. At Earwood Dentistry, we provide post-treatment guidance that ensures you enjoy your gorgeous new smile for years to come. To protect your investment:

• Brush and floss daily with non-abrasive toothpaste
• Visit us twice a year for cleanings and exams
• Avoid excessively hard foods or using your teeth as tools
• Consider a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth during sleep

Because we see patients of all ages, our team is especially tuned in to how treatments like veneers fit into your overall oral health plan. Whether it’s a smile refresh or a full-mouth transformation, you can trust us to make your comfort and confidence our top priority.
