Dental veneers are thin, durable shells that bond to the front surfaces of teeth to enhance appearance. At JBH Dental, our dentist and team offer dental veneers in Louisville, Kentucky, for patients seeking correction for discoloration, worn enamel, uneven spacing, or mild alignment issues.
Each veneer is custom-designed to match the natural shade, shape and contour of your existing teeth. This allows for consistent results that support both aesthetics and function. Our veneer consultations include a complete dental evaluation and diagnostic imaging to determine suitability. Our dentist and team use digital imaging to preview the potential results and make recommendations based on your goals and enamel condition.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
Veneers are used for cosmetic and, in some cases, minor restorative improvements. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and require preparation of the tooth surface for proper adhesion and fit. Benefits of veneers include:
- Improved uniformity in tooth color, size and contour
- Conservative enamel removal compared to full crowns
- High resistance to staining and wear
- Long-lasting results with proper care
- Option to treat one or multiple teeth for balanced aesthetics
Treatment Process and Patient Care
Dr. James Howell uses intraoral scanning and imaging software to take precise impressions of the teeth, eliminating the need for traditional molds. This digital process helps reduce patient discomfort and allows for more accurate fit and aesthetics.
The treatment typically requires two to three visits: one for assessment and preparation, another for veneer placement, and a follow-up visit if adjustments are needed. Local anesthetic may be used during preparation to improve patient comfort, and temporary veneers may be placed between visits.
