Porcelain Veneers for Patients in Tampa, Carrollwood, St Petersburg, New Port Richey, and Beyond

Porcelain veneers are often chosen over other types of veneers, such as those made from a resin composite material, and with good reason. Porcelain better resists stains, is more durable, and provides a more attractive and realistic tooth appearance. If you live in the Tampa Bay area and are interested in getting porcelain veneers to enhance your smile, you can visit a cosmetic dentist at Smile Design Dentistry. We have convenient locations in New Tampa, Citrus Park, Dade City, Trinity, and St Petersburg, and we’re proud to offer one of the most respected brands of porcelain veneers, Lumineers ®. These coverings are made from ultra-thin porcelain, so there is little to no tooth reshaping required before adhesion, offering patients more immediate results.

If you choose Lumineers ®, the placement of your porcelain veneers may involve the following steps:

• Buffing off the enamel from the teeth that will be covered
• Taking molds of your mouth to send to a dental laboratory
• Cleaning your teeth to prepare them for the veneer placement (sometimes etching the teeth is also required)
• Trimming the veneers to ensure a perfect fit
• Choosing a bonding agent (usually dental cement) to match the color of your teeth
• Curing the veneers with a specialized light
