What are Porcelain Vivaneers™?

Vivaneers™ are a thin coating of porcelain placed on the tooth’s surface, which results in a more uniform shape, smoother surface, and natural-looking tooth color.

Vivaneers™ are a great solution for discoloration associated with the following:

  • Root canals
  • Medication
  • Fluorosis — stains that result from fluoride exposure during infancy and early childhood

Additionally, a dentist may use Vivaneers™ to repair chipped, broken teeth or teeth worn from aging. A cosmetic dentist might also use Vivaneers™ as a time and cost-efficient alternative to braces to correct crooked or misaligned teeth or gaps in between teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Vivaneers™?

There are many benefits to Porcelain Vivaneers™ compared to other options such as dental bonding:

  • Natural look of the color and shape of the veneer is matched to the teeth around it
  • No irritation to gum tissue because of using porcelain

How Is a Porcelain Veneer Procedure Performed?

Before applying Porcelain Vivaneers™ to teeth, Dr. Haynes will take X-rays and conservatively prepare the teeth before making an impression of the teeth. The impression is sent off to a dental laboratory to make the Vivaneers™ match the tooth size.

After the Vivaneers™ are returned from the lab, the patient comes in for a second appointment. The dentist will clean, polish, and then etch a thin layer of the tooth enamel to prep the Vivaneers™ for bonding.

After the veneer is placed on each tooth with adhesive cement, the dentist will place the veneer under a light beam that causes the cement to bond to the tooth’s surface. A follow-up visit will be scheduled to check on the Vivaneers™ and make any adjustments as necessary. Patients can expect Vivaneers™ to last approximately 10 to 15 years.
