303-494-7110At Boulder Restorative Dentistry, we believe that everyone deserves a confident and radiant smile. Ceramic dental veneers offer an effective solution for achieving a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
What Are Ceramic Dental Veneers?
Ceramic dental veneers are thin shells made of high-quality ceramic material designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They can address various dental imperfections, including:
- Discoloration and staining
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Uneven or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Worn-down teeth
The Veneer Placement Process
We strive to make your veneer placement process as comfortable and efficient as possible. During your initial consultation, our prosthodontists will assess your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals. Once we determine that ceramic dental veneers are the right choice for you, we will take detailed impressions of your teeth to create your custom veneers.
In the next appointment, a small amount of enamel is gently removed from the surface of your teeth to prepare them for the veneers. This ensures a secure fit and natural appearance. Your custom-made veneers are then carefully bonded to your teeth using a special adhesive, providing a durable and long-lasting result.
Benefits of Choosing Ceramic Dental Veneers
Ceramic dental veneers offer numerous benefits, making them a popular choice for smile enhancement:
- Natural Appearance: The ceramic material closely mimics the translucency and color of natural teeth, providing a lifelike result.
- Durability: Ceramic veneers are highly resistant to staining and wear, ensuring your smile remains beautiful for years to come.
- Minimally Invasive: The veneer placement process is less invasive compared to other restorative treatments, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Immediate Results: You can achieve a stunning smile transformation in just a few visits to our practice.

FAQ
Can ceramic veneers stain or discolor over time?
While ceramic veneers are highly resistant to stains, it is important to avoid excessive consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea and tobacco to maintain their brightness. Regular dental hygiene and professional cleanings can also help preserve their appearance.
How long do ceramic veneers typically last?
With proper care, ceramic veneers can last between 10 to 15 years or even longer. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene practices, habits like teeth grinding and regular dental check-ups. Our prosthodontists can provide personalized advice on extending their lifespan.
Are ceramic veneers reversible?
Ceramic veneers are considered a permanent cosmetic enhancement because they involve removing a small amount of enamel and they are not reversible. It is crucial to consult with us and carefully consider the decision before proceeding with the treatment.
Can ceramic veneers fix gaps between teeth?
Yes, ceramic veneers can effectively close small gaps between teeth, providing a more uniform appearance to your smile. We will assess your specific case to determine if veneers are the right solution for closing gaps or if other options such as orthodontic treatment might be more suitable.
