If you are hiding your smile because of tooth flaws or imperfections, you’ve come to the right place. Lake Minneola Dentistry is pleased to offer a range of cosmetic dental procedures, including porcelain veneers, to deliver the smile of your dreams.
Are you ready to transform your smile? Dental veneers can give you the confidence to make great first impressions with beautiful teeth and a virtually flawless smile.
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain shells designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth to strengthen them and improve their appearance. They are made to match the color, sheen, shape, and size of your natural teeth, delivering seamless results.
Dental veneers are versatile restorations that are used for many purposes, including the following:
Porcelain dental veneers can give you a brighter, more even, symmetrical smile. The tooth-colored material is easily matched to the shade and texture of natural tooth enamel, delivering stunning results. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant and incredibly durable, enhancing your smile for years to come. Veneers are considered conservative restorations compared to dental crowns because they require minimal tooth structure removal.
Enhancing your smile with dental veneers begins with a consultation to evaluate your unique needs and treatment goals. The procedure involves preparing your teeth by removing a fine layer of tooth enamel to make room for your new veneers. Next, we will take digital scans of your teeth using our state-of-the-art Medit intraoral scanner to create 3D models that our dental laboratory will use to fabricate your restorations. In the meantime, we will place temporary veneers to protect your prepared teeth.
Once your veneers are ready, you will return to our office for placement. We will evaluate your new restorations for a perfect fit and color match, then cement them to your tooth surfaces. The last step is polishing your veneers for a smooth and natural-looking finish.
Make sure you brush and floss regularly with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid damaging your veneers. The porcelain material can chip just like your natural tooth enamel, so steer away from hard foods and avoid biting down on hard objects such as pen caps or ice, which can chip or crack your veneers. If you grind your teeth in your sleep, we may recommend custom night guards to prevent damage to your restorations.
We recommend keeping up with your twice-a-year dental exams and cleanings. Our team at Lake Minneola Dentistry will monitor your oral health and dental veneers to ensure they stay in excellent condition.

Determining if a veneer is suitable or a full-coverage crown is required depends on the extent of the tooth's defects and the remaining amount of healthy tooth structure. For teeth with imperfections that cannot be remedied with a teeth whitening procedure, dental veneers often provide the desired cosmetic improvements. However, a significantly undersized, misshapen, chipped, or darkly stained tooth usually requires a full coverage crown.
Porcelain veneers are fabricated from the highest grade of dental ceramics, which reflect light in much the same way as the enamel of natural teeth. In addition to this feature, dental porcelain is resistant to stains and discolorations, keeping your smile white and vibrant for years to come.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin customized facings that become strong and durable once bonded to the underlying teeth. With proper hygiene and routine dental care, veneers provide a cosmetic solution that not only looks and feels completely natural but is also long lasting.
However, just as harmful oral habits can affect your natural teeth, they can also cause damage to your veneers. To prevent chipping, cracking, or dislodging a veneer, avoid nail biting, chewing on hard candies, ice, pens, or pencils, and opening bottles or other objects with your teeth. Also, remember to protect your smile on the playing field by wearing a properly fitted sports mouthguard.
Tooth grinding or bruxism is another important consideration in care. If you clench or grind your teeth, you may need to wear a night guard to help protect your new smile or discuss other options with our office.
As versatile as they are beautiful, dental veneers can be applied to a single tooth in need of cosmetic improvement or multiple front teeth to dramatically improve the look of your smile. Whatever the case may be, dental veneers provide highly satisfying results to create a smile; you'll feel confident sharing with the world.
Among the many benefits offered by dental veneers is their ability to mask a range of imperfections at once. In addition to covering stains or discolorations on the front surface of a tooth, the size and shape of a veneer can also be customize to improve the tooth's contours and dimensions. At the same time veneers create a whiter and more vibrant smile; they can also lengthen or widen a tooth, close minor gaps, and address other minor alignment issues.
The two most common types of veneers are porcelain veneers, also known as porcelain laminates, and composite veneers. Although porcelain veneers are the most commonly offered option in care, composite veneers fabricated directly on the tooth can also achieve excellent results. You may have also heard the term no-prep veneer. It refers to a type of porcelain veneer that requires little to no preparation of the underlying dental enamel. At your consultation visit, we'll discuss your best options in care.
Once they're in place, your veneers are also easy to care for and maintain. Simply by brushing, flossing, and visiting our office for periodic checkups, you can successfully protect and preserve your new and beautiful smile.
Although certain procedures that are considered cosmetic may not be covered by dental insurance, veneers remain a worthwhile investment in your smile. Based on the unique considerations of each case, we develop treatment plans that consider specific dental needs, cosmetic goals, and budget. Our experienced and friendly office staff can address all your insurance questions and review various payment and financing options.
