Dental Veneers in Lehi
Dental veneers are customized caps to cover the surface of the tooth. This procedure is used to change the color, size, shape, or length of the teeth. Veneers are usually made out of a porcelain or resin composite that is bonded to the surface of the teeth. However, porcelain is most popular because it has more resistance to stains.Â
If you have any questions or concerns regarding veneers, give our office a call to schedule an appointment at (801) 766-4042.
Here are the Different Types of Dental Veneers:
Porcelain- These types of veneers are the best for the most natural-looking teeth and are also the most popular due to their resistance to stains.
Resin- These type of veneers are the best for durability, and usually take less time to prepare than porcelain.
Composite- These types of veneers are the best option for matching the closest to the natural tooth. This is also the best option for matching with bridges and crowns.
Lumineers- These types of veneers are the best option if you need many teeth worked on. This is also the best option for receding gumlines where it needs to be carefully placed.
Removable- These types of veneers are the best option for a quick and easy solution that is not permanent. They act as a retainer so that way, if you want to try veneers first, you are not stuck on making a permanent decision.
Getting dental veneers is a simple and easy procedure, although it may take a couple of appointments to complete the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental veneers can last a lifetime but are not considered permanent. They can last up to 10-15 years, but good oral health habits are required. Make sure to visit the dentist for your regular checkups and cleanings so the dentist can assess the veneers and make sure they are staying in good condition.
Dental veneers do not need any special care. However, it is important to maintain good oral health habits by brushing and flossing twice daily and visiting the dentist for general checkups and cleanings. Keep in mind that some veneers are stain-resistant, but it’s best to stay away from tobacco as well as foods and drinks that can stain the veneers.
Veneers can help with the appearance of mildly crooked teeth. However, they should not replace orthodontic treatment like braces.
The procedure is done with a local anesthetic, so it is unlikely that you will feel any pain during the procedure. After the veneers are bonded to the teeth, there may be some sensitivity, but this should subside within a few hours.
Unfortunately, traditional whitening procedures will not affect the veneers. However, the dentist will be able to go over techniques to keep the veneers as bright and white as possible.
Veneers are completely customizable. They can be made to blend in with the natural look of your teeth. During the consultation, the dentist will be able to go over the best shape, size, and color that is best for what you are looking for.
