If you hold back from smiling because you’re embarrassed about the appearance of your teeth, you already know the power of a smile! Your smile is a unique part of you, but if you don’t like how yours looks, it can significantly impact your self-esteem. To help you regain confidence in yourself, the Dental Associates of Aurora offer porcelain veneers in Aurora, CO & Westminster, CO ; this is a cosmetic dentistry treatment that hides tooth imperfections such as chips, gaps, crookedness, or discoloration. Our cosmetic dentists at Dental Associates of Aurora are experienced in the artistic and technical aspects of these custom smile makeovers, and can create your dream smile in as few as two appointments!
Virtually all patients with cosmetic problems are good candidates for dental veneers if they maintain good oral health otherwise. As a cosmetic dentistry treatment, veneers aren’t meant to resolve functional issues with teeth, such as a bad bite (malocclusion). Instead, they can be a great option if you have the following issues in the teeth that show when you smile:
Porcelain veneers are a highly personalized and detailed process at our Aurora, CO & Westminster, CO office. To provide the greatest esthetics, veneers must hide problem teeth and provide the appearance of a new smile that looks and feels completely natural. During your first appointment, our cosmetic dentist will remove a few millimeters of the front surface of your tooth enamel. This ensures a custom fit for your veneers. Next, we’ll take impressions of your modified teeth, which will be used to hand-design your veneers to the most ideal size, shape, and color for a beautiful new smile.
When these restorations are ready – which they will be very soon, considering that we make them in-house – you’ll return to our Aurora, CO & Westminster, CO practice for a second appointment, during which we will verify your veneers’ final fit, then bond them securely to your teeth. You won’t need to complete any special maintenance with veneers: though they won’t stain naturally as teeth do, you should brush and floss them daily. The long-lasting result of your smile makeover is a series of dental veneers that compliment your gum and lip line, facial features and skin tone! In short, you’ll have the smile of your dreams, and one that will last you for many years to come.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made restorations that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They can change the color, shape, size, and overall appearance of a tooth while creating a natural-looking smile.
Porcelain veneers may be used to improve the appearance of chipped, worn, discolored, uneven, misshapen, or mildly misaligned teeth. They can also help close small gaps between teeth. Your dentist can evaluate your smile to determine whether veneers or another cosmetic treatment would provide the best result.
Porcelain veneers can last many years with appropriate oral hygiene and regular dental care. Their lifespan depends on factors such as your bite, oral habits, dental hygiene, and whether you grind or clench your teeth. Avoiding habits such as chewing ice or using your teeth to open packages can also help protect your veneers.
Yes. Porcelain is designed to closely replicate the color and light-reflecting qualities of natural tooth enamel. Veneers are customized for the shape, shade, size, and proportions of your smile so they can blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
Getting veneers is generally well tolerated. Local anesthetic may be used when the teeth are being prepared to keep you comfortable. Some patients experience temporary tooth or gum sensitivity afterward, but this typically improves as the mouth adjusts.
Veneers can sometimes improve the appearance of mildly crooked, uneven, or irregularly shaped teeth without orthodontic treatment. More significant alignment or bite problems may be better treated with orthodontics before cosmetic dentistry. An evaluation can determine which approach is appropriate for your smile.
Care for veneers much like you would your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, attend routine dental cleanings and exams, and avoid biting extremely hard objects. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, your dentist may recommend a protective nightguard.
Good candidates generally have healthy teeth and gums and want to improve specific cosmetic concerns with their smile. Untreated tooth decay, gum disease, severe bite problems, or significant teeth grinding may need to be addressed first. A cosmetic dentistry consultation at Dental Associates of Aurora can determine whether porcelain veneers are appropriate for your goals.
