Porcelain Veneer Questions

in Orlando, Florida

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are durable porcelain laminates specially fabricated to fit over the front of your teeth, correcting problems with the appearance and structure of your smile.

What are porcelain veneers used for?

Porcelain veneers are a versatile solution to a variety of problems, including:

Crooked teeth
Deeply and stubbornly stained teeth
Cracked and chipped teeth
Gaps between teeth
Unevenly sized and shaped teeth

How long does the porcelain veneer procedure take?

The porcelain veneer procedure takes place over the course of two office visits. During your first visit, your teeth will be prepared and a precise mold of your teeth will be made. You will then be fitted with a set of temporary veneers, which you can wear home from the office that day. This gives you the opportunity to try out your new look before committing to it permanently, and allows you to work with Dr. Castellini to refine and perfect your veneers.

Once your veneers are just right, you'll come back to the office, where Dr. Castellini will permanently affix your new, custom made porcelain veneers.

How can I be sure my veneers will look the way I want?

Dr. Castellini offers a range of styles of porcelain veneer in a 'smile catalog.' You will have the opportunity to look over the styles and colors of veneers available, and pick just the right one for you.

Once you've chosen your veneers, you will be fitted with a set of temporary veneers to wear home as well, allowing you to make changes and adjustments before your final veneers are affixed.

How long do veneers last?

Expertly applied and properly maintained, well crafted porcelain veneers may last twenty years or more.
