Veneers
A perfect smile is something that everyone desires, but not all are lucky enough to have. What do you do when your teeth are damaged, missing, or discolored? Fortunately, at Sapphire Dental Home in Anderson, Indiana, we use restorative dentistry to help restore your smile. With the help of restorative procedures, you can regain the confidence that a beaming smile gives you.
With the help of our excellent dentist, Dr. Pawandeep Kaur, and her team, you can get your smile’s help to bring full functionality back into your life so that you can eat and speak with ease. You can also return to smiling with a restored smile and no longer feel self-conscious about broken, chipped, or missing teeth.
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They’re made from materials like porcelain or resin composite and mimic the look of natural teeth. Veneers can fix dental issues like chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth. Veneers have a nickname known as ‘Hollywood teeth’ because actors and models commonly use them in the entertainment industry. At our office, we offer porcelain and composite resin veneers.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic custom-made for each patient’s teeth. They offer a more natural and longer-lasting solution than composite veneers, although they require more preparation and are more costly.
Composite veneers are made from a tooth-colored resin similar to that used in dental fillings. They are less expensive than porcelain veneers, can be applied in one visit, and are easy to repair if damaged.

The Veneer Process
The dental veneer procedure is a simple process.
Consultation:
Most procedures start with a consultation, where Dr. Pawandeep Kaur examines your teeth and takes X-rays. You'll then discuss your options and how you want your smile to look.
Your New Teeth:
Once your veneers are ready, they will be returned to the dental office, where Dr. Kaur will bond them to your teeth.
Prevention:
Restoring your smile will help prevent other problems from occurring and possibly deteriorating your teeth or gums.

Dental Veneer Aftercare
Although dental veneers seem like they require intensive aftercare, they are very similar to taking care of your natural teeth. The best aftercare for veneers include:
- Oral Care: Brushing and flossing twice daily is essential to ensuring the health of your new smile. Brushing and flossing will remove any bacteria from your smile and prevent decay from occurring.
- Avoidance: Do not use your teeth as tools, as this can damage your veneers. You are also encouraged to avoid eating hard or crunchy foods as foods of this texture can also damage your veneers.
- Dental Visits: Regular dental visits are essential to ensure the health of your smile. By scheduling bi-annual dental visits, you can ensure your smile is healthy and that there are no underlying issues like cavities or damage to your veneers.
Advantages of Veneers
- Veneers offer a natural appearance, making your smile look natural and allowing you to smile freely without fear. They work to look like your natural teeth, and people won’t even notice you’ve got veneers.
- Veneers, specifically porcelain veneers, are stain-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about undergoing constant teeth whitening sessions.
- The procedure is relatively painless and requires minimal invasiveness.
- This cosmetic procedure offers total durability and can last for years if you take good care of them.
