Dental Veneers

Dental veneers provide an excellent solution if you are looking to enhance your smile. They are a popular cosmetic treatment because of their overall effectiveness and ease of use.

Dental Veneers in Georgetown, KY

Dental veneers are a great option for people who are experiencing:

  • Crowding problems
  • Chipped teeth
  • Worn-down teeth
  • Stained teeth

Veneers are thin shells that are placed on the front surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance—they will hide any noticeable flaws and help the teeth appear straight and even. The shade of veneers can be adjusted to your tooth color and they are applied with minimal discomfort. Dental veneers are strong and durable and will last for many years before they require replacement or repairs.

At ThoroughDent Smiles, every set of dental veneers is custom-designed based on your needs—so you get the results you want. This means we will make two appointments with you, the first to take impressions of your teeth and the second to apply and adjust the veneers to your teeth.

  • How do dental veneers work?

    Dental veneers are incredibly thin shells that are applied on the front surfaces of a person’s teeth. Depending on the style of veneers, the teeth may be prepped first by removing a small amount of enamel. Once installed, the veneers can cover noticeable flaws to make adjustments to alignment. They can also adjust the thickness of them to improve spacing.

    They are very easy to apply, requiring preparation of the teeth and then securing in place with a strong dental adhesive.

  • What types of dental veneers are available?

    The two main types of dental veneers are: porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options to help you improve your smile.

    Composite veneers are manufactured in-office, using tooth-colored resin, and applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, and they work well to cover up many aesthetic problems.

    Porcelain veneers are custom-made, out of porcelain, to fit your teeth. These are typically made in a laboratory and sent to our office. We will apply them and ensure they fit your teeth as they should. Porcelain veneers generally last longer because of the stronger material, provide a more natural look, and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as very dark stained teeth or teeth positioned incorrectly.

  • How long do dental veneers last?

    When you have your dental veneer procedure, it’s important to take care of them so they can last as long as possible. Proper brushing and flossing will ensure your dental veneers remain in good condition.

    The type of dental veneers you get also plays a part in how long yours last. Porcelain veneers can last up to 12 years, while composite veneers can last up to 8 years.
