What Are Veneers?
One of the Most Popular Treatment
Options In Cosmetic Dentistry
/
A dental veneer is a thin shell typically made of medical-grade porcelain that is bonded to the tooth enamel to alter the shape, size, color, or texture of your teeth. The porcelain is made to resemble the appearance of a tooth, giving the wearer a symmetrical, natural-looking smile.

What Can Porcelain Veneers Correct?
Veneers are an effective and quick solution to several cosmetic dental concerns.
Chipped Tooth
A chipped tooth can mar an otherwise perfect smile. Adding a veneer can conceal the chipped tooth, and restore the aesthetics of your smile.
Gapped Teeth
Veneers can help hide the gap between two teeth and avoid the need for braces or other orthodontic treatments.
Crooked Teeth
Veneers are a quick solution for minor misalignments. Unlike braces, which can take months to straighten your teeth, veneers can give you a straighter smile in just two visits.
Misshapen Teeth
Veneers can be used to alter the shape and size of a small or misshapen tooth, so it perfectly matches your surrounding teeth.
Discolored Teeth
Veneers offer a quick solution to getting a brilliantly white smile for teeth that are resistant to traditional whitening, such as those with intrinsic staining.

Dr. Helton and his assistant, Ella, did an excellent job with the root canal treatment I received. Dr. Helton was so thorough and patient with explaining the process and making sure I was pain-free. I was so pleased to know that they perform root canals in-house. This procedure resolved a long-time painful problem I was having. Highly recommend Dr. Helton and his entire dental team.

View On GoogleAm I a Good Candidate For Porcelain Veneers?
Many people suffering from an aesthetically flawed smile can benefit from dental veneers. However, certain factors can affect your candidacy. Speaking with your dentist is the best way to know if veneers are a good solution for you. Good candidates for porcelain veneers should:
Be In Good Oral Health
Having healthy teeth and gums is necessary before getting dental veneers. Tooth decay, gum disease, or any other oral health issue will need to be treated before veneers can be placed. Our dentist will do an oral exam to determine the health of your teeth, gums, and the integrity of your enamel before he recommends dental veneers.
Not Grind Their Teeth
While the porcelain used for dental veneers is strong, it is not indestructible. If you struggle with teeth grinding (bruxism), veneers may not be a good solution for you. Chewing on hard objects, clenching your jaw, and grinding your teeth can negatively affect the structural integrity of your veneers and can cause them to chip, break, or come off entirely.
Be Committed
Veneers are a permanent treatment: once your enamel has been prepared for a veneer, your tooth will always need some type of restoration. People who want porcelain veneers also need to be committed to maintaining good oral health after the veneers have been placed. Maintaining good oral habits like brushing twice daily, flossing once daily, and going to the dentist every six months for dental checkups is necessary to keep your veneers looking stunning for years to come.

View On GoogleWhat to Expect When Getting Veneers
The first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Helton at our Columbus, GA, office so he can develop a customized treatment plan to best suit your needs.
Using state-of-the-art technology, your permanent veneers can be placed in just two office visits.
Nervous About Treatment? We Offer Sedation
/
Placing veneers is a virtually painless procedure that doesn't require general anesthesia or even sedation. However, we offer nitrous oxide sedation for patients nervous about the veneer process. Nitrous oxide wears off about 15 minutes after your procedure, allowing you to drive yourself home.
Are There Alternative Cosmetic Options?
While many patients prefer the look of dental veneers over other options, some patients may want a less-permanent treatment.
Tooth Whitening
Professional tooth whitening is an easy way to get rid of surface stains. It can be completed in one office visit and maintained through custom take-home trays. However, some stains are too deep in the tooth for teeth whitening treatments to have an effect.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is the process of applying a tooth-colored resin directly to your enamel. This technique is less invasive than veneers since it does not require any alteration to your natural teeth. However, some patients find the resin does not have as natural of a look as porcelain veneers.
