Dr. Hirji, your trusted cosmetic dentist in Irving, can help you achieve your dream
smile with custom restorations known as porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin
sheaths of durable dental porcelain can be used to
correct almost any kind of smile imperfection, including chips, cracks, gaps, stains, and even misshapen or slightly
rotated teeth. This material is designed to blend right into your smile.
Even the way light bounces off of porcelain is made to mimic natural tooth
enamel. If your smile flaws have been getting you down lately,
contact us today
to schedule a veneers consultation.
Porcelain Veneers Process
After your initial consultation, getting porcelain veneers in Irving
generally takes two visits to our office. During the first visit, Dr. Hirji
will prepare your teeth by removing a minimal amount of enamel. This will
ensure your veneers will lay flat against your smile line. Then, he will
take impressions of your prepped teeth and send them off to a dental lab,
where your new smile will be meticulously crafted over the course of a few
weeks. In the meantime, we can place temporaries that let you get accustomed
to the way your veneers will look and feel. A few weeks later, you’ll
return to our office to have your temporary veneers switched out for
permanent ones. Adjustments are then made if needed.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
The main advantage of veneers is their versatility. They are able to correct
a multitude of smile imperfections in just one treatment. They are also
minimally invasive compared to other treatment options like crowns. While
crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, veneers only bond to
the front surface, so less natural tooth structure has to be removed in
preparation. Veneers are also incredibly durable, able to survive the daily
wear and tear of chewing quite well. Finally, they can last for a decade or
even longer, provided you maintain them with regular brushing, flossing, and
checkups
with Dr. Hirji.
Understanding the Cost of Porcelain Veneers
Even if porcelain veneers sound like the perfect treatment for your smile,
you might still be a bit apprehensive about the cost. Rest assured that the
team here at Daily Smiles MacArthur will be more than happy to help you
navigate your budget as well as your insurance plan so that you don’t
pay a cent more than what it absolutely necessary for your treatment. Keep
in mind that every patient’s case is different, so what you pay
won’t be the same as what your neighbor or friend paid for their
veneers. You should also know that no matter how much you end up paying,
your new smile will be more than worth it.
