Veneers
How Do Porcelain Veneers Work?
A porcelain veneer is a thin ceramic shell that fits over the front of a tooth. A small amount of tooth enamel is removed to accommodate the dental veneer and achieve a natural appearance. Usually just 1/2 mm of enamel is removed, which is roughly the thickness of your fingernail.
With a dental veneer in place, cosmetic flaws are totally concealed. The color-matched porcelain is so convincing that it blends in with your natural teeth and looks completely natural.
Let's explore the veneers placement process...
Transform Your Smile with Porcelain Veneers
Stunning Materials
Dr. Greene uses advanced dental ceramic to create veneers that mimic the qualities of natural teeth. He can carefully color-match the porcelain to the shade of your smile.
Versatile Results
Veneers offer a beautiful solution for a variety of imperfections, including chips, gaps, cracks, and misalignment. Dr. Greene can also use veneers to address stained teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening.
Highly Durable
We use medical-grade dental porcelain to craft each of our custom veneers. This material is remarkably strong and can last 10 years or more when cared for appropriately.

Sufficient Enamel
Before traditional veneers are placed, a small amount of enamel must be removed to achieve a natural appearance, so patients with very worn or thin enamel might not be eligible. Those patients can ask about minimal and no-prep veneers, such as Lumineers®.
No Teeth Grinding
The clenching and grinding that characterizes bruxism can fracture porcelain. Patients can often protect their veneers with oral appliances. In other cases, your dentist might recommend resolving the issue before placing veneers.
Only Minor Misalignment
While veneers can conceal small gaps and minor misalignment, severely crooked teeth might require orthodontic treatment for the best results. Dr. Greene can assess which treatment option is right for your needs during your visit.
Prepared for a Permanent Change
Veneers require permanent modifications to your teeth. This means that any teeth treated with veneers will always require some sort of restoration in the future. Minimal-prep veneers can provide a reversible alternative for candidates that qualify.
Natural-Looking Enhancement
Stains and other damage compromised the appearance of this patient's teeth.
Veneers provided a stunning rejuvenation by concealing these concerns.
The Cost of Porcelain Veneers

No. Local anesthetic is used to maintain your comfort as we prep your tooth for a dental veneer. Patients report little or no discomfort during the treatment process.
Will People Be Able to Tell I Have Veneers?
Until recently, veneers could appear too perfect, unnatural, or bulky. However, thanks to advances in dentistry and state-of-the-art materials, today's veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Each patient's results will vary depending on their individual goals, but you can generally expect a brighter, more balanced, and more youthful-looking smile when you work with our practice in Stockbridge, GA.

Let's walk you through the veneer procedure:
In just two visits to the dentist over the course of two weeks, you can give your smile a dramatic makeover.
Porcelain Veneers Aftercare
Be sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day, and to floss your teeth at least once a day. Ideally, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive gel toothpaste. This will allow you to gently clean your porcelain veneers without doing unintentional damage to their surface.
Dental veneers are stain-resistant, but your natural teeth can still become discolored. To prolong the benefits of treatment, avoid cigarettes and tobacco products. Make sure to rinse your mouth with water after having coffee, wine, soda, or other food and drinks that cause stains.
Regular visits to the dentist are essential for good oral health and lasting cosmetic dentistry results. Make sure to visit Dental Group South every six months for checkups and cleanings. You can also contact our practice between visits if you have any questions or urgent dental care needs.
Can Dental Veneers Fall Off?
/
Even though porcelain veneers are carefully cemented in place, they can become dislodged. This is often the result of trauma to the mouth, teeth grinding, or severe wear and tear. If one of your dental veneers has come loose, Dr. Greene can help secure it back in place like new.
How To Protect Your New Smile
Bad Habits to Avoid
Based on the aftercare tips above, you'll notice that you can care for veneers just like your natural teeth. That's why you will need to avoid the following bad habits:
- Chewing on ice
- Opening packages with your teeth
- Biting your fingernails
- Chewing on pens or other objects
By practicing good hygiene and avoiding these bad habits, you can extend the life of your porcelain veneers and avoid damage to your natural teeth.
Protective Mouthpieces
If you play contact sports or grind your teeth, our dentist can provide a customized mouthguard to protect your new smile.
- A night guard for teeth grinding prevents direct contact between your upper and lower teeth, protecting dental veneers and natural tooth structure from harm.
- An athletic mouth guard protects your teeth, gums, and dental work from physical trauma while playing football, basketball, hockey, soccer, and other sports.

View on GoogleAlternatives to Veneers Other Cosmetic Dentistry Options
Dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to cover a number of imperfections. The results do not last as long as veneers, but it can be an excellent option for patients who are looking for a more affordable solution or who don't want to permanently alter their teeth. Our team can help determine which option is best for you.
