Porcelain Veneers in Salida, CO

At Relaxation Dental, we craft custom porcelain veneers designed to enhance your smile while preserving the natural structure of your teeth.

With veneers, you can achieve a brighter, more symmetrical smile in just a few visits—without the need for extensive dental work.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are often used to correct:

• Stains or discoloration that don’t respond to whitening.
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth.
• Gaps between teeth.
• Mild misalignment or uneven teeth.
• Teeth that appear too short or irregularly shaped.

Since porcelain closely resembles natural tooth enamel, veneers provide a lifelike, flawless finish that blends seamlessly with your smile.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

• Completely Natural Appearance – Porcelain mimics the translucency of real teeth.
• Stain-Resistant & Long-Lasting – Veneers resist stains from coffee, wine, and tobacco.
• Minimally Invasive – Requires only a small amount of enamel removal.
• Instant Orthodontic Effect – Corrects mild misalignment without braces.
• Durable & Strong – With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years or more.

Porcelain veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution that can give you the bright, confident smile you’ve always wanted.

The Porcelain Veneer Process

Getting veneers at Relaxation Dental typically requires two visits to ensure a perfect fit and natural appearance.

First Visit: Consultation & Tooth Preparation

• We discuss your smile goals and determine if veneers are right for you.
• A small amount of enamel is removed to create space for the veneer.
• An impression is taken to craft your custom veneers.
• Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth while your permanent ones are made.

Second Visit: Veneer Placement

• The temporary veneers are removed, and the final porcelain veneers are carefully fitted.
• Each veneer is bonded with a strong dental adhesive for long-term durability.
• Final adjustments ensure a comfortable, natural bite.

Once placed, your veneers will look and feel just like natural teeth!

How Long Do Porcelain Veneers Last?

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer. To maintain your new smile:

• Brush and floss daily to prevent decay around the veneers.
• Avoid biting on hard objects (such as ice or fingernails).
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
• Schedule regular dental checkups to keep your veneers in top condition.

If a veneer becomes chipped or damaged, we can repair or replace it as needed.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Other Cosmetic Options

• Teeth Whitening: Effective for surface stains, but doesn’t correct shape, size, or alignment like veneers.
• Dental Bonding: A good option for small chips but less durable than veneers.
• Orthodontics: Corrects misalignment but requires months of treatment, while veneers offer an instant cosmetic fix.

If you want a complete smile makeover in just two visits, veneers may be the best option for you.

Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice if you:

• Want to improve your smile quickly.
• Have healthy teeth and gums but dislike your smile’s appearance.
• Are looking for a long-lasting cosmetic enhancement.

During your consultation, we’ll help you decide if veneers are the right fit for your goals and lifestyle.
