Dental Veneers - Cosmetic dentistry with a natural look
Discolored teeth have many causes:
Root canal treatment
Heavy use of staining items (coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine)
Tetracycline
Large dental fillings
These can all be directly responsible for a beautiful smile that has lost its brightness.
Damaged and worn teeth, especially older teeth, can look crooked and uneven while emphasizing gaps and unsightly spaces.
With dental veneers it is possible to bulk out the lips and alter facial contours around the mouth to help achieve a more youthful appearance and improve your smile.
Dental veneers from Palm Beach cosmetic dentist Dr. Dolce, DMD offer a conservative method for improving the shape and color of your teeth. The preparation of your original teeth for dental veneers requires just a minimal removal of material to achieve the maximum effect of cosmetic dentistry to enhance your appearance with a beautiful smile.
Porcelain or Resin Dental Veneers
Of the two common materials for dental veneers, porcelain and composite resin, the porcelain is by far the most natural looking and durable.
Composite resin dental veneers are less expensive and can be made and repaired in the Palm Beach cosmetic dentists office of Dr. Dolce, DMD.
Fired porcelain for cosmetic dentistry has an innate translucency that directly mimics the play of light from natural teeth. The gum tissue tends to tolerate porcelain quite well and the hard and durable surface of porcelain dental veneers resist staining.

When getting porcelain dental veneers your first visit to the comfortable offices of Dr. Dolce, DMD (both Palm Beach and West Palm Beach) will be for the slight surface preparation of your natural teeth that is required, a mold will be made and a shade is chosen by you and Dr. Dolce for the laboratory to use to make your beautiful, new dental veneers.
The second visit will be for fitting and bonding the veneers to your teeth.
Longevity of porcelain dental veneers
With proper care and regular visits to see Dr. Dolce you can expect your dental veneers to last five to ten years. You will not want to open things with your teeth or chew on ice and such but porcelain dental veneers are quite durable under normal use.
Costs involved in porcelain veneers for cosmetic dentistry
The many variables involved in a cosmetic restoration using dental veneers requires that Dr. Dolce review each case individually. To give a very broad ballpark range you can figure anywhere from $500 to $1,500 per tooth.
Less expensive alternatives to porcelain veneers will have to be repaired from time to time and the esthetic benefits of the porcelain will not be available with other veneer materials.
