Veneers in St. Petersburg, FL

Veneers are a cosmetic procedure offered by Mai Dentistry that can help enhance the appearance of your smile. Whether you’re looking to address imperfections or simply improve the overall look of your teeth, veneers might be the perfect solution. They can significantly boost your confidence by transforming your smile!

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin shells that are applied to the front of your teeth to alter their appearance. They can help with issues such as discoloration, chips, small gaps, and minor misalignments. However, if a tooth has extensive decay, a dental crown may be a better solution. For larger gaps, alternative treatments like Invisalign might be recommended.

Age can also be an important factor in determining if veneers are right for you. Since they are bonded to the teeth, they can last for many years with proper care. However, if your teeth are still developing, veneers might not be the best option.

What Is the Procedure?

Getting custom veneers involves multiple stages and a few appointments at Mai Dentistry. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Dental Exam

During your consultation, we assess whether veneers are the right option for you. Not everyone qualifies, so we’ll discuss alternative treatments if needed. If veneers are suitable, we may take molds of your teeth to have an off-site lab create a wax-up model of what the veneers will look like.

Preparation

Once the wax-up model is approved, we prepare your teeth by removing a small layer of tooth structure to make room for the veneers. Temporary veneers are placed while your permanent custom veneers are made by the lab.

Veneer Installation

At your final appointment, we remove the temporary veneers and ensure the permanent veneers fit perfectly. Once you're happy with the appearance, we cement them into place.
