An imperfect smile can not only affect the appearance of the teeth and gums, but it may also impact one’s self-confidence and self-esteem. If you are unhappy with a smile that has gaps, breakage, or staining, it is time to talk to a dentist in the area of San Antonio, Texas, who offers cosmetic dental services. This includes popular treatment options such as porcelain veneers.
First, let’s talk about what a porcelain veneer is. A porcelain veneer is a customized restoration that looks like a thin shell. It is fabricated to match the color, size, and shape of a patient’s natural tooth and is bonded over a tooth near the front of the smile to cover and disguise certain types of imperfections. These veneers are completely natural-looking when made by an experienced team of providers at Cosmetic Dentistry of San Antonio.
The process starts with a consultation visit with Drs. Edward Camacho and Natalie Pennington. If you choose to pursue porcelain veneers, we schedule an appointment to prepare the teeth. Depending on the type of veneer, a small portion of enamel is removed or in the case of prepless veneers, no tooth structure is removed. A highly accurate digital impression is obtained by scanning the teeth.Then, these impressions are used by a dental ceramist to create the final veneer. Patients come back for a second appointment to have their veneers bonded in place and will be able to leave the office with a brand-new smile they are confident to share with others!
Most veneers will last many years with appropriate care and attention from the patient. This includes routine dental visits to evaluate and clean the smile. Early intervention with any dental issues is key to reducing future damage and costs. We educate patients on caring for their veneers, which requires brushing and flossing as one usually does with their other natural teeth. Veneers do not protect teeth from cavities and disease, so it is vital that you see our team regularly for an evaluation to look for early signs of potential problems.

Edward Camacho and Natalie Pennington of San Antonio, TX, are committed to providing solutions for patients looking to rejuvenate their appearance.
