The Advantages of Veneers

The benefits of veneers are wide-reaching, making them one of the most popular options in cosmetic dentistry. Patients choose veneers for several reasons, including:

Quick Treatment

Most patients can make time for veneers, which can be placed relatively quickly compared to alternative cosmetic procedures. Your custom veneers are designed and placed in a few weeks' time and just two office visits.

Natural Appearance

Unlike the bulky veneers of the past, modern treatment allows our dentist to custom design the shape, size, color, and material of your veneers. The resulting product looks highly realistic and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.  

No Downtime

This successful treatment requires no downtime, and there is no need to wear uncomfortable, noticeable braces or aligners for months. There may be an adjustment period for a few days, but otherwise, patients can keep a normal schedule.

Procedure Timeline The Dental Veneers Process

Our high tech dental practice, Lande Cosmetic, Implant, and Family Dentistry, is equipped to efficiently provide quality veneers. Your treatment at our Carmel, IN, office will follow these basic steps:
Placing porcelain veneers requires two visits over the course of two to three weeks.
Placing porcelain veneers requires two visits over the course of two to three weeks.

Consultation

Patients meet with Dr. Lande for a consultation and oral exam. Once we approve your candidacy, we will discuss your cosmetic goals and design a personalized treatment plan. Most patients choose to have their veneers crafted from tooth-colored porcelain for its durability and realistic appearance.

Tooth Prep

Next, we prepare the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel from the front surface so the veneers will lay flush with your surrounding teeth after placement. 

Impressions

Dr. Lande takes impressions of your teeth and mouth to design your custom porcelain veneer. Our state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology allows us to take highly precise scans of the mouth for superior fitting veneers. 

Construction

The designs are sent to our trusted dental dab where an experienced ceramicist crafts your veneers. The skilled technicians manufacture the dental veneers out of porcelain in one to two weeks. If you need them sooner, we also offer a rush option to expedite the process. 

Placement 

Once your dental veneers are ready, you return for your second appointment to have them attached. Dr. Lande will check the look and fit against the surface of your tooth and make any necessary adjustments. The veneer is then secured to the enamel with a special dental adhesive that creates a powerful bond that can last well over a decade.

Dental Veneer Candidates

Most patients qualify for dental veneers. To check to see if you are a good candidate, take a look at some general requirements.

Good Oral Health

Good candidates will have good oral health. Dr. Lande can first treat other conditions such as tooth decay or gum disease before placing dental veneers.

Minor Dental Flaws

Veneers are best suited for minor issues of damage and misalignment that do not require extensive restorative work or orthodontic treatment. 

Strong Enamel

Our dentist will need to remove a small amount of surface enamel before placing your dental veneers. As such, patients need a sufficient amount of healthy enamel to qualify. 

No Bruxism

If you grind your teeth or suffer from TMJ, you run the risk wearing down dental veneers. Patients with these conditions may need treatment or an alternative cosmetic solution.

Alternative Options 

Still not sure if porcelain veneers are right for you? Take a look at some alternative procedures we offer at our Carmel, IN, practice, serving Zionsville and the greater Indianapolis area.

Teeth Whitening

For surface-level discoloration, professional whitening treatment can quickly and effectively brighten your natural teeth. While whitening can remove years worth of stains, the procedure is only effective for surface enamel and cannot correct darkened dentin rooted within the tooth structure. 

Porcelain dental crowns

Dental Crowns

If your teeth have suffered more severe structural damage and need additional support, our same-day crowns may be a better option. A dental crown encapsulates the entire surface of the tooth providing aesthetic enhancement as well as protection from future breakage and decay.
