Dental Veneers

Even a small problem with a single tooth can detract from the appearance of your smile. If one or more of your teeth have issues with their color, shape or even size, our dentist and the team at Puffer Dental can help. Call 936-564-2439 for your appointment with Dr. Steven F. Puffer for dental veneers in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Dental veneers are an excellent option for those looking to improve the appearance of their smile by addressing issues like chipped, stained or unevenly spaced teeth. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth, giving them a flawless, natural appearance. At our dental office, we offer both porcelain and composite resin veneers, each designed to enhance your smile and boost your confidence.

Porcelain veneers are a popular choice due to their durability and stain-resistant properties. They closely mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel, making them an ideal option for achieving a bright, natural-looking smile. Composite resin veneers are another option and can be matched to the color of your teeth for a seamless appearance. While both types of veneers are effective in transforming your smile, our dentist will work with you to determine which material best suits your needs based on your dental goals and lifestyle.

Veneers are versatile and can be used to correct a variety of cosmetic issues. Common reasons patients choose veneers include teeth that are heavily stained and resistant to whitening treatments, chipped or worn teeth, crooked or misshapen teeth and gaps between teeth. Veneers can provide a long-lasting solution, allowing you to enjoy a stunning smile for many years with proper care.

The process of getting veneers usually requires two visits to our office. During the first visit, we will prepare your teeth and take impressions to ensure your veneers fit perfectly. On the second visit, your custom-made veneers will be carefully bonded to your teeth, instantly transforming your smile.

If you are ready to enhance your smile with dental veneers, we invite you to contact our office today to schedule a consultation. Let us help you achieve the beautiful, confident smile you have always wanted!

FAQ

What are dental veneers, and how can they improve my smile?

+

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are used to correct cosmetic imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps or misshapen teeth. Veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin and are tailored to blend in with your natural teeth, giving you a brighter, more uniform smile. They offer a long-lasting, minimally invasive solution to enhance your overall appearance.

Are porcelain veneers better than composite resin veneers?

+

Both porcelain and composite resin veneers have their benefits. Porcelain veneers are highly durable, stain-resistant, and mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel, making them ideal for a long-lasting, natural look. Composite resin veneers, while less durable, are a more cost-effective option and can still provide excellent aesthetic results. Our dentist will help determine which option is best for your specific needs and desired outcomes during your consultation.

How long do dental veneers last?

+

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer, while composite resin veneers typically last five to seven years. The longevity of your veneers depends on factors like your oral hygiene habits and whether you avoid habits like biting hard objects or grinding your teeth. Regular dental checkups and good oral care will help ensure your veneers remain in excellent condition for many years.

Is the process of getting veneers painful?

+

The process of getting veneers is generally not painful. Our dentist will numb the area to ensure you are comfortable during tooth preparation. After placement, you may experience mild sensitivity, especially to hot or cold temperatures, but this typically subsides within a few days. If you have concerns about discomfort, our dentist can discuss options to help make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
