Every morning, millions of people look in the mirror and wish their smile told a different story. Maybe your teeth have endured years of coffee stains, or a childhood accident left you with a chipped front tooth making you hesitant to smile fully. The remarkable thing about dental veneers is how they can rewrite that story entirely, transforming not just the appearance of your teeth but the way you move through the world with newfound confidence.
At Sopris Smiles, Dr. Golnaz brings her extensive cosmetic dentistry training to every veneer procedure she performs. With over 1,000 hours of continuing education, she approaches each case with precision and care. Our Englewood practice combines a patient-centered approach with cutting-edge technology, including CBCT scanning and digital impressions for veneers, ensuring your veneers are designed with the highest level of accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells permanently bonded to your tooth surfaces to improve appearance while preserving natural structure. Think of them as custom-designed covers transforming the appearance of your smile while preserving most of your natural tooth structure. Each veneer is meticulously crafted in a ceramic laboratory, utilizing precise measurements and color matching to ensure a natural and beautiful result.
The porcelain material used in veneers for teeth closely mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. This means your veneers will look just like your real teeth, only better. Modern porcelain veneers are incredibly durable and, with proper care, typically last 10 to 15 years.
Advanced dental technology for efficient, comfortable veneer treatments with same-day results and faster healing.
Dental veneers are remarkably versatile, addressing both aesthetic concerns and minor structural issues affecting your smile’s appearance and function.
Cosmetic dental veneers excel at correcting a spectrum of aesthetic issues negatively impacting your confidence. Teeth with stains due to root canal treatment, excessive fluoride exposure, or large resin fillings can be beautifully restored with veneers. They’re also excellent for covering teeth appearing worn down from grinding or natural aging.
Minor chips and cracks in teeth can be effectively concealed with veneers, restoring both the appearance and function of damaged teeth. For teeth slightly misaligned, irregularly shaped, or with small gaps between them, veneers for gaps can create the illusion of perfectly straight, uniformly shaped teeth without the need for orthodontic treatment.
Beyond cosmetic improvements, dental veneers provide structural support for weakened teeth.
Creating your perfect smile through veneers involves a carefully planned process spanning several appointments in our Englewood office, each designed to ensure optimal results.
Your veneer consultation begins with an initial consultation where Dr. Golnaz evaluates your oral health and discusses your aesthetic goals. Using our advanced CBCT scanner, we’ll capture detailed images of your teeth and bite to ensure veneers are the right choice for your specific situation. During this visit, we’ll also discuss the entire process, timeline, and answer any questions you might have.
We utilize state-of-the-art digital scanners to create precise impressions of your teeth. This eliminates the discomfort of traditional putty impressions while ensuring exceptional accuracy. The digital impressions are sent to our trusted ceramic laboratory, where skilled technicians craft your custom porcelain veneers using the highest quality porcelain materials available.
At Sopris Smiles, we respect the biological value of your original tooth structure by prioritizing the removal of as little tooth enamel as is necessary. This conservative approach preserves as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while creating space for the veneers to be placed. Temporary veneers will protect your vulnerable teeth while your permanent veneers are being crafted.
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from durable porcelain material, which is more resistant to staining compared to traditional veneers made from resin composite materials. While both types provide similar cosmetic results, porcelain veneers are often favored for their ability to mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel, offering a more durable, long-lasting solution to cosmetic concerns like staining and cracks.
The cost of veneers can vary significantly depending on the material used and the number of teeth being treated. Porcelain veneers generally come at a higher price compared to resin composite veneers, but they are known for their longevity and resistance to stains. While veneers are an investment, many patients find them worthwhile due to the dramatic improvement they can bring to their smile and confidence. It’s best to consult with a cosmetic dentist at Sopris Smiles for a personalized quote.
Yes, veneers are an excellent solution for covering small gaps between teeth and improving the appearance of mild misalignments. For minor cosmetic concerns like uneven teeth or gaps, porcelain veneers or composite resin veneers can be applied to create a straighter, more uniform smile without the need for braces or orthodontic treatment. However, for significant misalignments, other treatments may be recommended.
While dental veneers are primarily used to address cosmetic concerns, they also offer some dental health benefits. For example, they can protect teeth worn down or cracked, helping to prevent further damage. Additionally, porcelain veneers can shield tooth enamel from erosion caused by acidic foods or beverages, providing an extra layer of protection and reducing tooth sensitivity in some cases.
Veneers, especially porcelain veneers, can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years with proper care. While they are durable and resistant to staining, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard foods, and schedule regular dental check-ups to ensure they remain in excellent condition. Unlike traditional veneers, which may need more frequent replacements, porcelain veneers are a long-lasting option for enhancing your smile. Schedule a consultation today!
