Your Beautiful New Smile is possible with a makeover with Cosmetic Dental Veneers.
General and cosmetic dentist Dr. Lane Barker designs custom dental veneers to enhance patient smiles in our Athens dental office.
Dental veneers are thin layers of ceramic porcelain that are specially fabricated by our dental laboratory; they cover your natural teeth to change the shape, shade or alignment. Veneers are usually placed on the front teeth that show when you smile.
Cosmetic dental veneers offer solutions for common smile challenges, including:
During your dental examination and consultation visit, we will take photos of your smile and talk with you about any changes you would like to make. If you are ready to create a new smile with dental veneers, Dr. Barker can offer his recommendations and talk with you about the process. He may suggest that we ask our dental laboratory to create a model of the expected results so you can see how your final veneers will look.
Smile whitening procedures are an excellent companion for cosmetic dental veneers. We will whiten your natural teeth and match your new veneers to the lighter shade to create a beautifully uniform result.
To highlight your cosmetic dental veneers, Dr. Barker offers facial treatments with Botox™ Cosmetic and dermal fillers to smooth away lip wrinkles, frown lines and laugh lines.
Like other dental restorations, it is important to keep your veneers clean and free of dental plaque with brushing and flossing, accompanied by visits to see Dr. Barker and our dental hygienists on a regular basis.
For patients with veneers or all-ceramic crowns on their front teeth, we will usually recommend avoiding biting directly into sticky candy or crunchy foods like apples and carrots. You can cut these foods up to eat them (or bite them with your back teeth) to avoid damaging or displacing your veneers.
Otherwise, your veneers function just like your natural teeth; although, most patients do tell us they smile more often because they are so pleased with the results!
