Dental Veneers in Romeoville, IL
Dental veneers are thin shells placed on the teeth’ front surface to hide any flaws and make the teeth appear straight and even. Dental veneers could be a great solution for you if you have crowding issues, chipped teeth, worn-down teeth, or areas of staining. Dental veneers are customizable, meaning that the shade and shape of the veneers can be adjusted to give you your dream smile. Veneers are durable and, with proper care, can last for many years before needing replacement or repairs.
Dr. Patel uses e.max veneers because they offer a unique combination of strength, durability, and aesthetics. Before placing your veneers, we may have to remove a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for them. We’ll then make an impression on your teeth so that we can custom-build your veneers. You’ll return to our office when they are finished, and we’ll bond them to the front of your teeth. We will then make any final adjustments to create your new look.

How do dental veneers work?
Dental veneers are extremely thin shells placed on the front surfaces of a person’s teeth. Depending on the style of veneers, the teeth may be prepared first by removing a small amount of enamel. Once installed, the veneers can cover noticeable flaws and adjust alignment. They can also adjust the thickness of the teeth to improve spacing. Veneers are easy to apply, requiring the preparation of the teeth and then securing them with a strong dental adhesive.

What types of dental veneers are available?
The two main types of dental veneers are porcelain veneers and composite veneers. Both are good options for improving your smile.
Composite veneers are manufactured in-office using tooth-colored resin and are applied directly to the teeth. They are typically less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, and they work well to cover up many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain veneers are custom-made from porcelain to fit your teeth. They are typically made in a laboratory and sent to our office. We will apply them and ensure they fit your teeth as they should. Porcelain veneers generally last longer because of the stronger material, provide a more natural look, and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as dark stained teeth or teeth incorrectly positioned incorrectly.

How long do dental veneers last?
Our veneers are made of high-quality material designed to last. On average, most veneers last 10-15 years. However, your dental veneers can last more than 20 years with exceptional dental care.
