An excellent way to achieve that smile you are proud to show off is with porcelain veneers. We offer traditional and no-prep dental veneers to correct or cover dental imperfections such as discoloration, chips, misshapen teeth, and gaps between teeth.
What Are Porcelain Dental Veneers?
Porcelain or dental veneers are thin shells custom-made to fit over the front surface of your teeth. They can greatly improve the appearance of your smile by covering dental flaws and restoring dental balance. Veneers are often made from porcelain because it is strong, thin, and highly resistant to staining. Porcelain veneers can also be matched to your natural tooth color for a more realistic look.
Types of Dental Veneers
At Inspira Dental Care, we offer traditional and no-prep dental veneers. Traditional dental veneers are slightly thicker than no-prep dental veneers, so they require that a small amount of dental enamel be removed before adhering them to the teeth. This veneer is a permanent modification to your teeth since enamel is removed from the tooth.
Prepless Veneers
No-prep dental veneers are much thinner than traditional veneers and require no enamel removal, made from a high-grade dental composite material that can be bonded directly to the tooth’s surface for a natural look and feel. Offering no-prep dental veneers means that patients can receive the dental transformations they desire without altering their teeth significantly. Because your enamel remains intact, no-prep veneers are removable if you change your mind.
The Dental Veneer Procedure
Our dentists utilize the latest dental technologies and techniques to provide a personalized experience tailored just for you. To prepare your teeth for traditional dental veneers, our dental team will need to remove a small portion of dental enamel from the tooth’s surface and take an impression of your teeth. Typically, a local anesthetic is used while the enamel is removed so that you do not feel discomfort during the procedure. The dental impression is used to create custom-made dental veneers that perfectly match your teeth’s size, shape, and color. Once ready, the dental veneers are then bonded to your teeth.
The procedure for no-prep veneers is very similar to that of traditional veneers. However, no dental enamel is required, and the veneer can be placed directly onto the surface of the teeth. The dental composite material used for prepless dental veneers is extremely thin, meaning enamel doesn’t need to be removed to bond them to your teeth comfortably.
I came to Inspira Dental Care in Mocksville hoping that I would be a candidate for composite veneers. From the first visit, all the staff were welcoming and professional. Dr. Price was fantastic. My teeth were an unusual case. Lopsided and slightly gapped, uneven and honestly just unattractive. After the consultation visit, he gave me hope that finally I might be able to smile with confidence. The day came and Dr. Price worked meticulously on my teeth. My results were nothing short of amazing. He explained each step of the process and did a fantastic job. The assistant was so patient and kind as well. I could not be more pleased.

Porcelain dental veneers are a great option for people who have dental imperfections such as chips, discoloration, and misshapen teeth. From teens to adults, dental veneers can be used to restore dental balance and improve the appearance of your smile.
Porcelain dental veneers are more durable and longer-lasting than dental bonding. Dental bonding is a dental material used to repair dental flaws, however, dental veneers offer a more natural-looking result.
When considering which type of veneer is right for a patient, it is important to consider both traditional and prepless veneer options. Traditional veneers involve the removal of some of the tooth structure and require a more lengthy procedure, and can often result in some tooth sensitivity in the couple weeks following the treatment. And, once a traditional veneer is applied to the tooth, you will always need one to cover the surface. Prepless veneers can be applied without removing any natural tooth structure, meaning the patient always has the option to remove them down the line. Ultimately, it is up to the patient and their dentist to decide which type of veneer will best suit them based on their individual smile needs, budget, and lifestyle.
