Veneers
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your smile due to discoloration, misalignment, gaps, or irregularly shaped teeth?
Porcelain veneers are an effective cosmetic dentistry treatment that can mask flaws and almost instantly transform your smile.
Find out how Drs. Hadden and Whidden, LLC can help you achieve a more attractive smile with veneers in Vernon and Coventry, CT.
What Are Veneers?
A veneer is a thin restoration that completely covers the front surface of a tooth to mask dental flaws like chips, stains, or slight misalignment. Laboratory technicians fabricate each veneer out of high-quality dental porcelain to precisely fit the tooth and improve the appearance of the entire smile.
Veneers are a cosmetic solution and are not intended for restorative purposes. For this reason, they are only used on the anterior teeth, or those that are most visible when a patient smiles. Depending on your goals for treatment, we may recommend a single veneer or up to eight.
Top 3 Benefits of Porcelain Veneers
Quick, Non-Invasive Treatment
Dental veneers can be used to achieve an attractive and well-aligned smile without the need for lengthy orthodontic treatment or other more invasive procedures.
Natural-Looking Results
Veneers are incredibly natural-looking and are more color-stable than cosmetic bonding. The porcelain material is highly aesthetic, and the resulting dental veneers are very thin, ranging from 0.3mm to 0.5mm in thickness.
Long-Lasting Enhancement
Dental veneers are resilient and have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years with proper care. The porcelain material we use is stain-resistant and very durable.

Low-Interest Financing To Keep Your Veneers Affordable
Veneers are purely cosmetic, so they aren't covered by insurance. We help patients afford care by accepting CareCredit® financing. Depending on your credit history, you can obtain a loan with low or no interest repayable in convenient monthly installments.
Premium Materials For Stunning Results
/
Our veneers are made of IPS e.max®, a dental ceramic noted for its exceptional durability and lifelike aesthetics. IPS e.max is stronger than traditional porcelain, which means your veneers will be less likely to chip or crack. This material is also easily customizable in terms of shape and shade, so we'll be able to design restorations that flatter your individual appearance rather than provide a cookie-cutter solution.

How to Care For Your Veneers
Your dentist in Vernon or Coventry will give you instructions so you can care for your new porcelain veneers and prolong their lifespan. With proper care, you can enjoy a confident, beautiful new smile for years to come.
Brush your teeth and veneers twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste that is safe for use on porcelain veneers. It's best to avoid toothpastes and other products with whitening ingredients.
Be sure to floss once a day to prevent cavities, gum disease, and discoloration. Take care when flossing around the gumline so as to not accidentally loosen your veneers.
Dentistry to Fit Your Needs Explore Alternative Treatment Options
We want to ensure that patients receive the best care possible and enjoy results that last for years to come. However, in some cases, veneers may not be the right fit for your specific concerns. Our dentists in Coventry and Vernon provide comprehensive treatment options to help you achieve a beautiful and functional smile. Here are some alternatives to dental veneers:
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a porcelain shell that fits over a tooth. They're a fantastic option to restore the function and aesthetics of any tooth. Unlike veneers, dental crowns are appropriate for back teeth since they are designed to withstand stronger bite forces. This versatile treatment can also be paired with a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a treatment that can restore the shape and form of a slightly damaged tooth. Your dentist molds a tooth-colored resin material to your tooth and cures it with a special light. Dental bonding conceals the same issues that veneers do, but it is typically more affordable, making it an excellent option for patients on a budget or for those who are not ready to commit to more permanent treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Veneers
Q. How long do porcelain veneers last?
A. With proper care and maintenance, your dental veneers can last for 15 years or even longer. However, please remember that any restoration will wear over time and will eventually need to be replaced. Our team in Coventry and Vernon will be here to help when the time comes.
Q. Does veneer placement hurt?
A. No, veneers are a practically painless cosmetic dentistry treatment. Your dentist will thoroughly numb the area before treatment begins to ensure your complete comfort as they remove small portions of enamel. For patients who have dental phobia or anxiety, our offices in Vernon and Coventry, CT, provide sedation dentistry services to help.
Q. What do I do if my veneer becomes loose or pops off?
A. If your veneer becomes loose, contact us as soon as possible so we can bond it back into place. If your porcelain veneer falls off your tooth, locate and place it in a dry container to prevent damage. In many cases, if the veneer is undamaged, your dentist can simply rebond it to the tooth.
Q. Will foods and drinks stain my porcelain veneers?
A. While porcelain is durable, it can stain over time when exposed to things like red wine, coffee, and tobacco. It is best to minimize your consumption of staining foods and drinks or brush as soon as you are done consuming them. We highly recommend that you stop using tobacco products to maintain not only the beauty of your restored smile, but also the health of your teeth, mouth, and gums.
