What Are Veneers?

Dental veneers are thin shells, typically made of porcelain, that are custom-made to cover the front surface of a tooth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, stained, chipped, or slightly misaligned. Veneers can create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Contact Dr. Carlson and his team at 425-334-9600 to set up a consultation to discuss if veneers are right for you to restore your beautiful smile.

What to Expect Following the Procedure

After getting dental veneers:

Sensitivity: You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for a short period, but this should be temporary.

Oral Hygiene: Continue with regular oral hygiene practices, brushing and flossing your teeth. Veneers require no special maintenance beyond normal dental care.

Diet: There are typically no dietary restrictions associated with dental veneers. You can eat and drink as you normally would.

Follow-Up: Attend any follow-up appointments with your dentist to ensure the veneers are properly bonded and that you are satisfied with the results.

Dental crowns and veneers are effective cosmetic and restorative dental procedures. Following your dentist’s guidance and maintaining good oral hygiene will help ensure the longevity and success of these treatments.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers can help with any of the following issues:

• Worn down, chipped, or broken teeth
• Stained or discolored teeth
• Uneven or irregularly-shaped teeth
• Gaps between teeth

Whether the dentist is helping fill in a gap, lengthening a worn-down tooth, or covering cracks or chips, veneers can give you a fuller, more symmetrical smile — one that you can show the world with confidence.
