Erase Tooth Flaws Permanently with Cosmetic Veneers
Are you embarrassed to smile due to having chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth? At Weimar Family & Implant Dentistry, we can help resolve these issues with front teeth veneers. Veneers can erase tooth flaws permanently to give your grin an attractive, unblemished appearance. In this post, your Maple Grove, Minnesota dentist, Dr. Richard Weimar, answers your questions about veneers to help you decide if it’s the right cosmetic treatment for you.
What are cosmetic veneers?
Veneers are thin, porcelain coverings that can be attached to the surface of existing teeth to conceal flaws that detract from your smile’s appearance. They’re custom-made to look just like your natural teeth, so no one can tell the difference. Cosmetic veneers can erase chips and cracks in your teeth, close tooth gaps, whiten discolored teeth and straighten slightly misaligned teeth to improve your smile’s symmetry. Your lackluster smile can become one of your best features with quality veneers.
Who’s a candidate for veneers?
Anyone who wants a smile free of stained, cracked, chipped, gapped, or misaligned teeth is a candidate for veneers. The only requirement is that your teeth and gums are in good health. Whether you have one flawed tooth or many, Dr. Weimar can perfect your grin with porcelain veneers.

Is veneer treatment intrusive?
No. Getting veneers is a minimally invasive, quick, and easy procedure. Dr. Weimar will prepare your teeth by shaving off a very thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneers. We will then have veneers custom-made for you with impressions of your teeth to ensure the right dimensions.
Meanwhile, you’ll receive temporary veneers to prevent sensitivity. When your porcelain veneers are ready, we’ll call you back to the office to replace the temporary veneers with permanent veneers. Your veneer smile makeover will then be complete.
How do I care for teeth with veneers?
The same way you care for your natural teeth, with daily brushing and flossing and biannual visits to your dentist for professional cleaning. Consistent oral care will keep your veneers bright and beautiful over the years.

How long do porcelain veneers last?
That depends on your oral care habits. If you take good care of your teeth, your veneers can last 10 to 15 years. Veneers will last longer if you avoid hard and sticky foods, stop chewing on ice, and not use your teeth like tools.
Does it hurt to get veneers?
No! Dr. Weimar can numb your mouth for this treatment to keep you from pain or discomfort while we work on your teeth. If your teeth feel sore or sensitive after the anesthesia has worn off, you can take OTC pain medication to relieve these symptoms.
