Transform your smile with dental veneers at Smiles on Elston! A premier cosmetic dentistry option, veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells bonded to the front of your teeth. They expertly conceal imperfections, creating a more even and beautiful appearance. Veneers can effectively address issues like chips, cracks, stains, gaps, or misshapen teeth. We offer two main types of veneers to suit your needs.
Why Choose Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are a top choice for correcting minor smile imperfections. Dental veneers from Smiles on Elston can effectively conceal:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Discolored or stained teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Minor tooth misalignment
Dental veneers offer natural-looking results and long-lasting results. The veneer placement process is generally comfortable and requires minimal tooth preparation. Our dental veneer placement process at Smiles on Elston includes:
- Consultation and Smile Design. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss your smile goals and evaluate your oral health. We'll create a personalized treatment plan and may use digital imaging to visualize your potential results.
- Tooth Preparation. A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of your teeth to accommodate the veneers. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom veneers.
- Temporary Veneers (if needed). While your permanent veneers are being fabricated, temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth.
- Veneer Placement. Once your custom veneers are ready, we'll carefully bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive.
- Final Adjustments and Polish. We will polish the veneers and make final adjustments to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
At Smiles on Elston, Dr. Alin Alkass crafts dental veneers from top materials like porcelain and ceramic. Our top veneers systems in Chicago include:
Porcelain Veneers
These are renowned for their exceptional durability and natural appearance. Crafted from high-quality ceramic material, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining and closely mimic the translucency and light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, resulting in a remarkably lifelike and long-lasting smile enhancement. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or more.
Ceramic Veneers
Similar to porcelain veneers, ceramic veneers also offer a highly aesthetic and durable option. They are crafted from a type of ceramic material that closely resembles natural tooth enamel. Ceramic veneers provide excellent strength and resistance to stains, ensuring a beautiful and long-lasting result.
