Porcelain Veneers in Wareham, MA
Crooked and damaged teeth can make chewing and speaking difficult and can lead to more serious oral health issues, such as uneven wear, increased risk of tooth decay, and gum disease. At Southcoast Dental, our porcelain veneers provide a natural-looking, durable fix for various dental imperfections, helping you regain confidence in your smile.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-crafted shells designed to enhance the appearance of teeth by covering their front surface. Made from high-quality porcelain, they mimic the natural translucency and texture of tooth enamel, providing a realistic and aesthetically pleasing result. Porcelain veneers offer a durable and long-lasting solution, transforming smiles with minimal alteration to the existing tooth structure.
What Dental Problems Can Veneers Treat/Fix?
- Discoloration and Staining: Porcelain veneers are an excellent solution for teeth that are discolored or stained, which may not respond well to traditional whitening methods.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Veneers can effectively cover chips and breaks, restoring the tooth’s natural shape and protecting it from additional harm.
- Misaligned or Irregularly Shaped Teeth: By custom designing each veneer, we can create a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile without the need for braces or orthodontic treatment.
- Gaps Between Teeth: Gaps or spaces between teeth can be closed using veneers. This not only improves appearance but also enhances overall dental function.
Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
- Natural Appearance and Aesthetic Improvement: Porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the natural translucency and texture of tooth enamel, providing a realistic and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Durability and Longevity: Porcelain veneers are known for their durability. With proper care, they can last for many years. This long-lasting solution provides a significant return on investment by maintaining a beautiful smile over time.
- Stain Resistance: Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without worrying about discoloring your veneers, keeping your smile bright and white.
- Minimal Tooth Structure Removal: The process of applying veneers requires only a minimal amount of tooth enamel to be removed, preserving the majority of your natural tooth structure. This conservative approach helps maintain the integrity and health of your teeth while achieving a significant cosmetic improvement.

How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?
Porcelain veneers typically have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, but with excellent care, they can last even longer. Their longevity is influenced by your oral hygiene practices and lifestyle habits. Maintaining good dental hygiene, such as regular brushing and flossing, and avoiding habits that could damage the veneers, like biting on hard objects, can help extend their life. Additionally, attending regular dental check-ups allows your dentist to monitor and maintain your veneers, ensuring they remain in optimal condition for years to come.
