Get A Gorgeous New Smile With Dental Veneers in Barrington

A captivating smile is an asset and a reflection of your self-confidence. However, some individuals may feel self-conscious about imperfections such as chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth. Pennino Family Dentistry in Barrington offers a versatile solution in the form of dental veneers.

What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored shells made from durable materials such as porcelain or composite resin. They are designed to cover the front surface of teeth, providing a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile. If you have veneers, protecting them is crucial, especially at night. Consider using a night guard for veneers to prevent grinding or clenching that can damage your veneers and compromise your smile's integrity.

How are veneers placed?

Our dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your aesthetic goals. We will take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to create your customized veneers. The shade of the veneers will be chosen to match your natural teeth or to achieve the desired whiteness. A small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth to accommodate the veneers' thickness. Local anesthesia may be administered to ensure comfort during this minimally invasive procedure. Once the veneers are ready, our dentist will carefully bond them to the prepared tooth using dental adhesive. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a proper fit, and a special light is used to cure the adhesive, securing the veneers in place. Finally, the veneers are meticulously polished to achieve a smooth and natural-looking surface, enhancing your smile's appearance and durability.

What are the benefits of veneers?

Dental veneers can conceal imperfections, such as stains, chips, cracks, and gaps. They can also improve teeth’s shape, size, and alignment, creating a radiant smile. Veneers are meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with natural teeth, resulting in a remarkably lifelike appearance. The materials used are stain-resistant, ensuring long-lasting brightness. Compared to other dental treatments, the preparation process for veneers involves minimal enamel removal, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth. With proper care, dental veneers can last for many years. Porcelain veneers, in particular, are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear.
