Porcelain Veneers Oak Park, IL

Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance.

If you are unhappy with your smile and want a relatively non-invasive way to transform your teeth while also providing strength and resilience, we have a great option for you. One Fine Smile is happy to offer porcelain veneers in Oak Park, IL! These are custom made to match the contours of your teeth and are bonded to the tooth’s original enamel.  

What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are small thin shells of porcelain created in a dental lab to look exactly like real human teeth. They are custom made for each patient to ensure a beautiful, uniform fit that matches your current smile.

They are then cemented onto the fronts of your teeth to cover up any imperfections that would otherwise take a lot of work and money to fix. Porcelain veneers can last upwards of 10 years, providing you with a long-lasting and highly durable cosmetic option that completely changes the look and feel of your current smile without all the extensive work involved.  

How Do I Know if I Need Porcelain Veneers?

An exam is done before it’s determined if you’re a viable candidate for the veneer procedure. However, most people who are unhappy with their smiles and want a quick, durable change are excellent candidates for veneers. Because veneers are made out of porcelain, you can rest assured that they will mimic the look and even feel of real teeth. Some of the best candidates for veneers include:   young happy woman portrait
  • Patients who have discolored and stained teeth  
  • Patients with gaps in between their teeth  
  • Patients with short, “gummy” smiles  
  • Patients who are unhappy with the way their smiles look  
  • Patients who want a cost-effective, quick way to completely transform the way that they look

What is the process to get Dental Veneers?

Receiving dental veneers is painless. The process usually takes one to two appointments and is done right here in our office. Because it is a quick and painless procedure, we do not typically use an anesthetic. However, if the patient truly wants it, accommodations can be made. The procedure goes as follows: 

  • Cleaning the tooth –we will begin by cleaning the tooth/teeth to determine the correct color for the veneer
  • Remove small amount of enamel-the dentist will remove a small layer of enamel off your tooth to make room for the veneers to fit properly 
  • Veneer is etched-the veneer needs to be etched so the adhesive will have a stronger bond.  
  • The veneer is permanently placed on the tooth  
Once the veneer is placed, a curing light will be used to harden to adhesive quicker. You will have a fresh new beautiful smile.
