Porcelain Veneers

Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, Oakleaf, Orange Park

If you have multiple problems with the look of your smile, you may want to consider porcelain veneers. Dr. Blankenship offers porcelain veneers as a versatile cosmetic dentistry option for correcting the appearance of many common cosmetic dental problems in one solution. He has performed thousands of veneer procedures with 100% success.

The beauty of porcelain veneers

A porcelain veneer, or porcelain laminate, is a very thin shell of porcelain that covers the front surface of your tooth. Dr. Blankenship uses Empress Veneers. They are ultra thin so they preserve more of your existing teeth, look more natural, and do not feel bulky. Empress is the best-known veneer porcelain in cosmetic dentistry today.

Your veneers will be individually crafted to match or enhance the natural shape of your tooth and the color of the surrounding teeth. Porcelain mimics the reflective qualities of natural tooth enamel better than any other dental material so your veneers will look real and alive.

When bonded to your teeth, porcelain is very durable and it is stain-resistant so the beauty of your smile will last for years.

Uses for porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers can solve many problems at once, eliminating the need for multiple procedures:

Chipped or broken teeth
Cracks in teeth
Small gaps between your teeth
Minor crookedness, providing “instant orthodontics” versus wearing braces for a few years
Misshapen or unevenly sized teeth
Discoloration and staining that is resistant to whitening
Tooth erosion

Your veneers will not only cover visible flaws, but seal and protect your teeth from further damage and stop the pain of cracked, chipped, or eroded teeth.

Veneers can be a standalone solution or they can be a part of a complete smile makeover.

Candidates for porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are a great way to enhance the beauty of your smile when you need to correct the look of several teeth or solve multiple problems. However, teeth with more extensive problems may require a porcelain dental onlay or a dental crown.

During your complimentary cosmetic consultation, Dr. Blankenship can determine if you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers.
