A beautiful smile is more than just an aesthetic asset; it’s a boost to your confidence that impacts every interaction, from professional meetings to social gatherings. At Deep River Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Cassidy Bray and our team specialize in smile transformations. One of our most effective tools for achieving a flawless, natural look is the porcelain veneer.
If you’ve been hiding your smile due to minor imperfections, modern cosmetic dentistry offers a permanent, high-quality solution right here in High Point.
What Can Porcelain Veneers Fix?
Veneers are incredibly versatile. Think of them as custom-designed "shells" made of medical-grade porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are the "gold standard" for correcting:
- Chipped or Cracked Enamel: Restoring the structural appearance of a damaged tooth.
- Gaps and Spacing: Closing small "black triangles" or wide gaps without the need for years of braces.
- Permanent Staining: Masking deep discoloration that traditional teeth whitening cannot reach.
- Misshapen or Small Teeth: Lengthening "peg laterals" or adjusting teeth that appear too short for your smile line.
Why Choose Porcelain Over Other Materials?
When patients ask why we prefer porcelain over composite resin (bonding), it comes down to two factors: light and longevity.
- Natural Translucency: Dental porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. It doesn't look like a "cap"; it looks like a healthy, vibrant tooth.
- Stain Resistance: Unlike natural teeth or composite materials, porcelain is non-porous. This means your morning coffee or evening glass of red wine won't dull your new smile.
- Durability: While bonding might last 3–5 years, high-quality porcelain veneers can last a decade or more with proper care.
The Veneer Process at Deep River Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
We believe that a great result starts with a great plan. Our process is designed for your comfort and precision:
- The Consultation: We discuss your "dream smile." Dr. Bray evaluates your bite and facial symmetry to ensure the veneers will look natural.
- Preparation: A tiny amount of enamel is removed to ensure the veneer sits flush with your gum line. We then take a precision impression of your teeth.
- The Reveal: Once your custom veneers are hand-crafted, you return to our High Point office. Dr. Bray meticulously bonds them to your teeth, making final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and bite.
