Porcelain Veneers in Pflugerville, TX

Dental veneers have a reputation as Hollywood’s go-to smile solution. It is true that many movie stars and others in the public eye choose this procedure to achieve stunning, natural-looking smiles. However, it is a myth that those benefits are out of reach for the rest of us. The reality is that porcelain veneers are affordable, convenient, and available right here in Pflugerville, TX.

• Close wide spaces between teeth
• Correct the appearance of mildly crooked teeth
• Change the size or shape of teeth
• Cover permanent stains or naturally dark tooth enamel

Porcelain veneers may be used to rapidly cover chips and stains on your enamel, improve worn down or misaligned teeth, and fix teeth that are unevenly shaped or spaced. At Elite Smiles of Pflugerville, your porcelain veneers will be custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth for an attractive and natural look. During your consultation, Dr. Jordan Tucker and his team will listen to your objectives and expectations so they can personalize your treatment. Dr. Tucker and the team may also find out whether you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers by assessing your overall oral health. You should not have symptoms of gum disease or routinely grind your teeth and clench your jaw.

No matter whether you are getting porcelain veneers for small teeth, stains, or another problem, the process is similar. Due to being custom-made and ultra-thin, porcelain veneers require very little tooth preparation. Your dazzling new smile is created in just a few steps:

• During the first appointment, your teeth are prepared, and temporary veneers are placed. This only takes a couple of hours and provides some immediate aesthetic improvement.


• It takes about two weeks for the dental laboratory to custom craft your final veneers. When they are ready, you will return to our office. Dr. Tucker will remove the temporaries and “try in” the final veneers to ensure that they meet your and his standards. The veneers are then cemented into place.

Since getting veneers normally doesn't require anesthesia, you should be able to get back to your daily activities after your appointment. You may experience sensitivity to hot and cold food for a couple of days, but that should fade away. Veneers should be cleaned like your own natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing. While porcelain veneers are stain-resistant compared to natural enamel, you still need to avoid staining food and drinks to keep your smile bright. To avoid harming your veneers, you shouldn't chew on hard objects, such as ice or your fingernails. You should also continue to have dental examinations and cleanings at Elite Smiles of Pflugerville so we can track the condition of your veneers, teeth, and overall oral health. Dr. Tucker will tell you in the future if your veneers will need to be replaced or repaired.
