What Are Dental Veneers?

Understanding the Limitations
of Porcelain Veneers
Zirconia and porcelain veneers can’t correct underlying oral health problems nor resolve bite issues or jaw misalignment. To qualify, teeth must be free of decay, gum disease, and jawbone atrophy.
And your tooth structure must be healthy enough to support a restoration. If you have significant tooth loss, severe decay, active gum disease, grind your teeth, or require a root canal or tooth extraction, dental veneers aren’t right for you.
What Is the Process for Getting Zirconia Veneers?
The first step is a consultation with Dr. Thompson to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for veneers in Saratoga Springs, UT. If so, impressions are taken, and at NuSmile, veneers are designed in the perfect shade, shape, and color to cover tooth flaws and complement your overall facial features.
Dr. Thompson must remove a small amount of tooth enamel before veneer placement. This allows the zirconia veneers to fit properly and blend seamlessly with natural teeth after they are permanently bonded in place.
FAQs About Zirconia and Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are considered a long-term cosmetic solution because a small amount of enamel must be removed to place them. This means the process is irreversible, but the veneers themselves are designed to be durable and long-lasting. Lumineers, however, are generally considered reversible because no tooth enamel is removed in many cases.
With proper care, zirconia veneers in Saratoga Springs, UT can last 10–15 years or even longer. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups can help extend their lifespan. While they offer excellent stain resistance, avoiding habits such as teeth grinding (bruxism) or biting hard objects is essential to prevent damage to your veneer teeth.
The veneer process at NuSmile is generally comfortable, and most patients experience little to no discomfort. Local anesthesia may be used during tooth preparation to ensure a pain-free experience. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal, but this typically subsides quickly.
Many practices offer veneers made from the same composite resin used for bonding. Bonding with tooth-colored resin is cost-effective for small imperfections, but it isn’t as long-lasting as zirconia or porcelain.
Our veneers are crafted from strong ceramic zirconia, which offers far greater durability and stain resistance than composite resin. Beautiful veneers designed by NuSmile are the best choice for achieving dramatic, enduring aesthetic smile improvements.
The cost of veneers depends on factors such as the number of teeth treated and the type of veneer selected. Zirconia and porcelain veneers are more expensive than resin due to their superior strength and natural-looking luminosity. Our team will provide an accurate estimate during your consultation and also discuss financing options.
Veneers work best on the four front teeth in the upper and lower arch, but can also be placed on canines (cuspids or eye teeth). As mentioned, veneers can correct a wide variety of minor cosmetic tooth flaws. While very minor crookedness and gaps can be corrected, functional and alignment issues can’t be fixed with veneers.
