Porcelain Veneers in Madison

Best Cosmetic Dentist for Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain is just as strong, if not stronger, than your natural enamel. Like bonded veneers, porcelain veneers are a quick and easy way to improve your smile. Thankfully at Total Care Dental, we repair smiles using porcelain veneers at our Madison dental office. Take the first step to a new smile by scheduling a consultation.

Should I get Veneers?

Veneers are ideal for people who want to significantly change the shape and appearance of their teeth without using crowns. Porcelain veneers not only create beautiful, bright smiles but also protect damaged teeth. These veneers may additionally prevent the need for more extensive dental procedures.

To be considered as a candidate for porcelain veneers, a client must meet certain dental health requirements:

• Good overall oral health
• Committed to proper oral hygiene
• Have a sufficient amount of healthy, natural enamel

Although porcelain veneers are more costly than bonded veneers, they are a worthwhile investment. With proper care and design, porcelain veneers can last up to 20 years or longer. Total Dental Care offers a variety of payment options and accepts most major dental insurance plans. Our offices offer a 5% discount to patients with no dental insurance for services over $300, when paid in full before any treatment.

Porcelain Veneer Process

Total Care Dental partners with the highest quality labs in the country for all our cosmetic dentistry supplies, ensuring you receive the best veneers. The procedure for applying porcelain veneers is simple:

1.  Preliminary appointment: Your dentist takes X-rays or performs a physical examination to discuss what you would like to achieve.
2.  Putting on veneers requires the removal of the top layer of your enamel (only about half a millimeter).
3.  An impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a lab, where porcelain veneers are custom designed. This impression provides accurate and precise measurements of your teeth, ensuring the veneers will fit properly. It takes a week or two to prepare the veneers.
4.  Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and lightly buffed, allowing the thicker veneers to fit comfortably.
5.  The veneers and adhesive will be bonded to your teeth with a special cement hardened by a UV light.

This simple procedure requires little to no anesthesia and can be done in a single appointment. New veneers require the same oral hygiene routine as your regular teeth: brushing twice a day and daily flossing. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled a few weeks later to make sure the veneers are properly placed and attached. You’ll leave our office with a brand new smile and renewed confidence.
