Do you have cosmetic dental concerns that detract from the appearance of your smile?
Veneers are a versatile solution that can conceal these imperfections and create a whiter, brighter, more uniform smile.
Premier Prosthodontics: Advanced Aesthetic and Implant Dentistry in Raleigh, NC , can fine-tune your smile using veneers made from durable and lifelike dental-grade porcelain.
While a general dentist may offer veneers, Dr. Murphy is a dentist and prosthodontist who is better equipped to provide results that are both stunning and lifelike. A prosthodontist is a type of dentist who specializes in addressing complex dental matters like broken and missing teeth. For this reason, they often have advanced training in aesthetic restoration and routinely work with ceramics to create crowns, bridges, and veneers.
We have an in-house lab, allowing us to hold every step of the veneers process to impeccable standards. Dr. Murphy combines this unique asset with his skill, precision, and artistic eye for beautiful results that last.
Dr. Murphy offers treatment that is of a higher caliber than you would receive anywhere else. He has an eye for detail, something that’s particularly important in cosmetic dentistry. Our doctor creates all of his veneers himself in his in-house lab so he has full artistic control and can provide results that his patients love. He doesn’t settle for anything less than the best.
Dr. Murphy is a Board-Certified Prosthodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. This rigorous certification requires a prosthodontist to pass exams and submit patient cases. It proves his level of dedication toward each of his patients, including his Raleigh veneer patients.
During your appointment, we’ll ask about your concerns and explain the cosmetic dentistry options available to you. Dr. Murphy’s goal is for you to have everything you need to make an informed decision and to take part in your care so you’re completely satisfied with the result.
“We strive to create a welcoming environment and ensure a positive experience for every patient who walks through our doors.”
To be considered a good candidate for dental veneers, you must:
When your tooth is being prepped for a porcelain veneer, a small amount of enamel will be removed so the veneer can lie flush with surrounding teeth. If you don’t have sufficient enamel, you may not be a candidate for veneers. Instead, an option like dental bonding or crowns may be better for you.
Because veneers require the removal of a small amount of enamel from each treated tooth, they are an irreversible procedure. Once the enamel is removed, that tooth will always require some kind of restoration. Patients must be committed to this process.
If Dr. Murphy determines veneers are right for you, we can move forward with scheduling your appointment at our Raleigh dental office.
Follow an oral hygiene routine that involves brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once a day. This will help keep your teeth as white as your veneers and your mouth healthy enough to support your dental work.
Hard, chewy, and tough foods can damage and dislodge your veneers. We recommend biting into and chewing these foods with teeth that haven’t been treated with dental veneers. Additionally, foods like tea, sauces, and berries can stain your natural teeth and make your smile less uniform. Try to minimize your intake of these foods.
Routine dental checkups will help ensure that your veneers last as long as possible. A hygienist will be able to clean your mouth more thoroughly than you can at home and a dentist can catch foundational problems before they become serious. Your dentist will also let you know when it’s time to replace your veneers.
