Exploring the Benefits of Cosmetic Veneers
Age, wear and tear, and cosmetic oddities in your teeth can make your smile appear less appealing. To counter these effects, your Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania dentist recommends cosmetic veneers! Veneers work exceptionally well at concealing minor imperfections in your teeth, improving your smile’s appearance. Heritage Dental is the place to go for dental veneers near me. Dr. Beth Skovron answers your questions about veneers here to help you decide if they’re right for you.
How do veneers work?
Cosmetic veneers are ultra-thin, porcelain shells that can be attached to your teeth to improve their aesthetics. If you have chipped, cracked, stained, or slightly uneven teeth, veneers can give them a younger, whiter, straighter appearance. Veneers will even strengthen your teeth, minimizing the risk of future chipping or cracking. Veneers are custom-made for your teeth to ensure a precise match in color, shape, and size, and a perfect fit.
What tooth flaws can veneers correct?
Veneers can be used to correct common issues like:
- Chips and cracks
- Small gaps between teeth
- Stains and discolorations
- Misshapen teeth
- Short, thin, or odd-sized teeth
- Teeth that are slightly crooked or uneven
By correcting multiple problems simultaneously, veneers can give your smile a beautiful new appearance.

What’s the procedure for getting veneers?
Getting veneers requires at least two dental visits. On your first visit, Dr. Skovron will evaluate your smile to assess the problems that need to be addressed. We’ll discuss the improvements veneers can make, set goals for your procedure, and plan your treatment. Then we’ll prepare your teeth by removing a tiny coating of enamel to make room for the veneers. The last step on your first visit is taking impressions of your teeth to send to a lab where custom veneers are crafted, a process that generally takes two weeks. When your veneers are ready, we’ll schedule a second appointment to bond them to your teeth permanently, transforming your smile instantly.

Is the procedure painful?
Veneers are a minimally invasive treatment that most people find painless. We can, however, use local anesthetics to prep your teeth or apply the veneers, if needed. We’ll make every effort to keep you as comfortable as possible for your treatment.
Is the process reversible?
No. The porcelain veneer procedure is considered permanent, as dental enamel is removed from your teeth to accommodate these restorations, and that enamel can’t be replaced.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper oral care, your veneers can last up to 15 years! Veneer care is the same as caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss daily, and see us twice a year for professional cleanings to keep your veneers in great shape. To avoid damaging your veneers, avoid hard foods, ice chewing, and using your teeth as tools.
