Conceal Imperfections with Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-designed shells that Dr. Cenk can attach to the surface of imperfect teeth, concealing chips, cracks, stains, and slight misalignment. The porcelain material used in our veneers closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth, so your upgraded smile will look authentic and healthy.

Traditional veneers require some alteration of the tooth, and take about two weeks to make. However, another option is LUMNEERS®, an ultra-thin type of veneer that can be placed without any need to alter the tooth. There are also same-day options that can provide a fast upgrade. During your consultation, Dr. Cenk will help you determine which type of veneer is best for your needs.

Porcelain veneers are a popular procedure for many reasons, including:

• Quality: The veneers at Redd Road Family Dental in El Paso, TX, are made from high-quality porcelain that can be color-matched to your surrounding teeth, producing natural-looking results.
• Versatility: Our dental team can use veneers to conceal almost any surface-level cosmetic issue, including chips, cracks, misalignment, gaps, and stains.
• Longevity: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for 10 years or more.

The veneer placement process is relatively easy and pain-free. When you and Dr. Cenk determine that veneers are right for you, he will make an impression of your teeth to custom-design a veneer that will fit correctly. We will send the impression to a dental lab, and the veneer will be ready in a few weeks. In some cases, same-day solutions are available.

Once a traditional veneer has been created, Dr. Cenk may have to remove a small amount of enamel from the front of the tooth to prepare it for adhesion (LUMINEERS often require no alteration of the tooth). Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Cenk will attach the veneer using dental cement. After the veneer is secure, you can leave our office and enjoy life with your enhanced smile.

There are a few candidacy requirements for porcelain veneers:

• Sufficient Enamel: Traditional veneers require a certain amount of enamel in order to attach securely. If your natural enamel is thin or weak, a different procedure may be better suited for you.
• No Teeth Grinding: If you regularly grind your teeth, you may be in danger of damaging or dislodging a veneer. Patients who grind their teeth should address this condition before receiving veneers.
• Ready for Permanent Change: Once you receive a traditional porcelain veneer, the treated tooth will always require some kind of restoration. Fortunately, most veneers patients are comfortable with this commitment since it provides a powerful and exciting upgrade to the look of your smile. However, if you receive LUMINEERS, this treatment is fully reversible.
