Our teeth go through a lot. Whether it’s a chipped tooth from a bite into something too crunchy or years of staining from morning coffee, imperfections happen. That’s normal, but it doesn’t help the appearance of our smile.
Fortunately, dental veneers can offer a transformative solution. At Oral Implants & Reconstructive Dentistry (OIRD), we create custom veneers in Lewis Center, OH, using high-quality porcelain and composite materials. Our goal? Beautiful-looking teeth that naturally compliment your smile.
Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells—think contact-lens-thin—that are bonded to the front of your teeth to enhance their appearance. These shells, made from porcelain or composite resin, help correct a variety of cosmetic concerns like:
Porcelain veneers are especially popular for their strength and resistance to stains, while composite veneers offer a budget-friendly and less invasive alternative. Veneers can be an ideal part of a comprehensive smile makeover if you want to address multiple concerns at once.
If the idea of drilling and shots makes you wince, you’ll be glad to hear about Provance® composite veneers. These ultra-thin restorations are bonded directly to your teeth in just one visit—no numbing, no lab wait, and no need to remove natural enamel.
Provance® veneers are a favorite for patients who want a smile refresh without the commitment of traditional veneers. Here’s what makes them stand out:
We start with a conversation. At your initial consultation, Dr. Heller or Dr. DiDonato will assess your teeth, ask about your goals, and use digital scans to get a precise picture of your smile. Then we’ll talk through your options—porcelain vs. Provance® composite—and create a treatment plan that fits both your vision and your lifestyle.
For traditional porcelain veneers, the process takes two visits:
Prefer a quicker route? Provance® veneers can usually be completed in a single visit—no temporaries, no anesthetic, and no enamel removal.
Like anything worth keeping, veneers do best with a little TLC. With the right care, porcelain veneers can last over a decade, while Provance® veneers typically last five to seven years. Here’s how to help them go the distance:
Our team will send you home with simple, practical tips to keep your new smile shining.
Both veneers and dental crowns improve your smile, but they do it in different ways:
We’ll help you choose the right solution based on what your teeth need and what you’re hoping to achieve.
How long do veneers last?
Porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years with good care. Composite veneers may need to be refreshed a bit sooner—typically every 5 to 7 years.
Will my veneers look natural?
Absolutely. Each veneer is color-matched and sculpted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients find the process comfortable. Porcelain veneers may require local anesthetic, while Provance® veneers often don’t need numbing at all.
Are veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers involve enamel removal and are considered permanent. Provance® veneers, on the other hand, are more conservative and can be reversed if needed.
Does insurance cover veneers?
Veneers are usually considered cosmetic, which means insurance may not cover them. But don’t worry—we offer flexible payment plans and can help you explore financing options.
