These thin shells of dental ceramicare placed on the front surfaces of your teeth to conceal aesthetic flaws. Porcelain veneers are made using medical-grade porcelain that is incredibly durable and natural-looking.

If you take a close look at your teeth, you will notice that theenamel has translucent qualities. In other words, some light is able to pass through them.Porcelain also has a translucent surface, making the material well-suited for use in dental work.

Additionally, porcelain can be color-matched to suit the patients preferences. At the practice of Clint Newman, DDS, we can match the shade of the porcelain to your teeth to produce natural-looking results. If your teeth are affected by stains, or if you prefer a whiter appearance, the restorations can be made in a purer shade of white. You can also elect to undergo professional teeth whitening beforehand for a more dramatic enhancement.

Because of its lifelike appearance and durable qualities, porcelain is one of the most popular materials used in dentistry. It is commonly used to create crowns and dental bridges. Dental restorations made of porcelain can be expected to last 10 years or more. However, the lifespan of your restorations will depend on how well you care for your teeth and gums, daily wear and tear due to biting and chewing, and other factors. Patients who maintain a good oral health care routine, avoid hard and crunchy foods, and do not chew on their fingernails or other objects can prolong the life of their porcelain restorations.

During your first visit to our Nashville, TN, office, Dr. Newman or Dr. Underwood will conduct a full evaluation of your oral health, overall health, and medical history to ensure that you are a good candidate for this treatment. To qualify for treatment, you should:

Before undergoing any cosmetic treatment, you should have a healthy smile. If you have cavities, gum disease, severe bite misalignment, or other oral health issues, Dr. Clint Newman or Dr. Thomas Underwood will need to resolve them prior to moving ahead with cosmetic treatment.

To make room for your veneers, one of our dentists will need to remove some of your enamel during the preparation phase of the treatment. Therefore, you should have enough enamel to protect the tooth following this alteration.

Although porcelain is very strong, the material is not indestructible. If you grind your teeth excessively, it can increase the risk of fracturing your restorations. In some cases, an oral appliance can help. Dr. Newman or Dr. Underwood can fabricate a custom oral appliance that can be worn during sleep to protect your restorations from excessive force.

These thin custom shells can treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns. But if you suffer from pronounced misalignment or severely crooked or gapped teeth, you might be a better candidate for other treatments such as Invisalign.

Veneers will need to be replaced at some point in the future, and teeth prepped for traditional veneers will always require some kind of restoration. If you are comfortable with this aspect of veneers, we can move ahead with treatment.

Although porcelain is resistant to stains and decay, your surrounding teeth are not. In order to maintain the results of your procedure, you will need to commit to a good oral hygiene routine after treatment. Our cosmetic dentists will instruct you on how to care for your new veneers to ensure that they look great and last as long as possible.

Although dental bonding is reversible and more affordable, it does not offer the same strength, long-lasting results, or lifelike outcomes as veneers. If these benefits are important to you,dental veneers may be a better investment.

We customize every step of theprocedure to ensure consistently beautiful, natural-looking results. To begin, we will take a detailed impression of your smile to ensure that your new veneers fit precisely.

When comparing porcelain veneers and LUMINEERS, it is important for patients to understand their similarities and differences. LUMINEERS is a brand of veneers that requires little to no alteration of the existing tooth structure. However, this treatment can result in a thicker tooth that may be more difficult to clean and floss. For patients in the Nashville, TN, area, Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood offer three premium materials that are superior to LUMINEERS in terms of long-lasting results and patient satisfaction.

When considering which type to choose, it is important to understand the main differences between the two products. LUMINEERS are fabricated using Cerinate porcelain, an exceptionally strong material that can be both very thin and strong. However, to compensate for the thinness of LUMINEERS, the material must be more opaque to properly conceal the underlying imperfections. In contrast, traditional veneers are more translucent, allowing the material to closely mimic the qualities of natural teeth. The thickness of veneers and LUMINEERS also influences the method of placement. With ultra-thin LUMINEERS, little to no enamel is removed before placing the restoration. Therefore, the natural structure of your tooth is maintained and the procedure is reversible. Porcelain veneers are thicker and require Dr. Newman to remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of the treated teeth. This process ensures that your veneers will fit properly without appearing bulky.

Due to their thin design, LUMINEERS generally cannot provide the same lifelike results as Dr. Newman's high-quality porcelain veneers. They do not possess the same subtle characteristics as traditional options and often cannot adequately mask severe discoloration. In addition, since the underlying teeth are not altered in any way, LUMINEERS may make patients' teeth may appear large or bulky. LUMINEERS are also more likely to affect your speech, biting habits, and comfort. For many patients, LUMINEERS are more difficult to keep clean, which can lead to oral health concerns.

Outstanding dental care each and every time. Dr. Newman is on the top of his game as well as the hygienists. Great office and staff. Really an A+ experience. It's great looking forward to going to the dentist. Well done.

If you are a good candidate, the next step in the process will be a professional cleaning. This ensures the treated tooth or teeth will be free of bacteria and debris. Some patients also choose to undergo professional teeth whitening so that their veneers can match the color of their smile when at its brightest.

The next step is the preparation of your teeth. First, we will numb your teeth to ensure that you feel minimal discomfort. Then, Dr. Newman or Dr. Underwood will need to remove a small amount of tissueabout the same thickness as an egg shellfrom the front of each treated tooth in order to accommodate your veneers.

In most cases, your impressions are then sent to a lab where a ceramic artist will create your custom veneers. We partner with Macstudio, a trusted dentistry lab. During the design and fabrication process, Dr. Newman works closely with the technicians at the lab to design stunning restorations that are durable and natural-looking. The restorations will be ready within one or two weeks. In the meantime, we will provide you with temporaries to protect your teeth.

Once the permanent porcelain veneers are ready, one of our dentists will check their fit and appearance against the prepped teeth. We will work carefully to make any necessary adjustments and ensure your complete satisfaction.

Lastly, your permanent restorations are carefully cemented in place. Before leaving our office, patients will receive detailed instructions for aftercare. Generally, these instructions simply ask that patients follow proper oral hygiene and visit our practice for regular checkups.

As always, going to Dr. Newman is an experience where the highest level of professionalism prevails. The staff is capable, pleasant and organized. The office is state of the art, and tastefully decorated. Dr. Newman is conscientious, skilled and possesses excellent people skills.

After the treatment is complete, you can go home immediately. Some patients experience sensitivity to hot or cold drinks and foods, but this side effect is temporary. If you are uncomfortable due to sensitivity, you can take over-the-counter pain medication to ease discomfort.

While Dr. Newman can address some types of discoloration with teeth whitening or dental bonding, there are many types of blemishes that are resistant to bleaching agents. When teeth are severely discolored, porcelain veneers are often the best option for providing the desired results. In addition, previous dental treatments, such as bonding or crowns, do not respond to whitening solutions and require an alternative solution. For patients with severe discoloration due to decalcification, fluorosis, trauma, or childhood tetracycline use, Dr. Newman can create lifelike veneers using IPS e.max for dazzling results.

Many patients with gaps or spacing issues do not like the idea of undergoing a lengthy orthodontic treatment. Others do not qualify for orthodontics due to issues such as the size of their teeth. In these situations, Dr. Newman can use custom-crafted restorations to conceal gaps for a more symmetrical and beautiful smile.

Dr. Newman is dedicated to improving the aesthetics of his patients' smiles. In many cases, patients may have outdated dentistry that looks unnatural or is compromised due to normal wear. Some of these issues may result from lower quality material or changes in your teeth and gums. At our practice, we can replace dental work performed by other dentists with high-quality materials for excellent results.

One of the perks of this treatment is that it requires no recovery or downtime. Although your teeth might feel sensitive after the procedure, you will be able to resume your normal activities right away.

In general, our patients face few risks and experience only very minor side effects after treatment. Patients may experience some sensitivity after the teeth are prepared or resized. The most important factor that patients should be aware of is that treatment is irreversible, and the dental veneers will have to be replaced if they chip, fall off, or become worn.

Because dental veneers are an investment, we understand that you may have questions or concerns. To help you feel informed, Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood have compiled a list of helpful responses to the most frequently asked questions:

Patients with chips, cracks, discoloration, and minor misalignment can achieve a significant improvement in the appearance of their smile after treatment. There are certain conditions that can limit your candidacy for veneers. Dr. Newman will assessyour oral health and determine the most effective treatment option for your needs.

They are used to treat the anterior teeth (the teeth at the front of your smile). For the back teeth, we utilize alternative treatments, such as dental crowns, that can handle the force of your bite more effectively.

Porcelain veneers are highly versatile and can treat a range of cosmetic concerns, including crooked or overlapping teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps or spaces between teeth, severe discoloration or staining, disproportionate teeth, chips, cracks, and wear.

In most cases, the results are considered permanent. During the procedure, Dr. Newman will change the structure of your teeth to properly place the ultra-thin shells. Without this process, they would appear bulky and unnatural. The alterations to yourenamel make it necessaryto have some kind of restoration in place at all times.

You can care for them the same way as your natural teeth: brush twice and floss at least once daily. We can also monitor the condition of your restorations and the health of your teeth at each six-month checkup.

Patients should avoid chewing hard non-food items (such as pens) and using your teeth as tools. It's important to remember that while your veneers are stain-resistant, your natural teeth are not. You can maintain the color and vibrancy of your results by limiting your consumption of dark-colored drinks, such as wine, coffee, tea, or soda. Tobacco products should also be avoided.

Whenever possible, our dentists will attempt to preserve your natural tooth structure. By placing a crown over the remaining portion of the compromised tooth, our dentists can prevent further damage and prevent the need for an extraction.

Crowns are made from medical-grade dental porcelain, which is a natural-looking ceramic material that is also incredibly sturdy. At our Nashville, TN, practice, we use premium porcelain designed to withstand normal biting forces. In many cases, our crowns last up to a decade.

Crowns have come a long way since the gold and metal crowns of the past. Modern porcelain crowns are highly realistic. Your dental crown will also be shade-matched to surrounding teeth to provide the most natural-looking results.

If you need a dental crown, consult with our Nashville, TN, dentists. Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood are renowned for their cosmetic and restorative dentistry results. Together, they are also members of the:

Dental crowns are often called 'caps.' These caps cover the entire tooth for the purpose of restoring teeth to their original shape and size. There are several types of dental crowns, but porcelain crowns are the most popular type offered at our Nashville, TN, office. Thanks to the properties of porcelain, these crowns resemble your natural teeth in color and texture. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a natural-looking, long-lasting solution. Additionally, crowns are highly durable and can last for many years. Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood provide all-porcelain, metal-free crowns that look absolutely natural while providing excellent durability.

When a tooth is too severely damaged or decayed for a filling, inlay, or onlay, a crown is typically recommended to restore structure and function to the tooth. Repairing a damaged tooth can improve your comfort, chewing ability, and much more.

In some cases, patients have cosmetic concerns that solutions such as bonding and veneers cannot conceal. Crowns are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment because they can conceal imperfections such as an inconsistent shape to restore a beautiful appearance.

A dental crown can be attached to a dental implant to replace a single missing tooth. Implant-supported crowns are highly recommended because they also prevent jawbone atrophy. Fortunately, Dr. Newman can both place and restore dental implants at his Nashville, TN, office.

If you have a deep overbite, crowded teeth, or a tendency to clench or grind, a porcelain crown may not be able to withstand the excessive force. Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood will thoroughly examine your bite at our Nashville office to determine whether you qualify for an all-ceramic crown or if you require an alternative crown material. Although aesthetics are important, strengthening and protecting your smile should be the priority.

A crown can be placed as long as the tooth root is healthy. If a decayed tooth is not treated in time, infection can spread below the surface of the tooth and result in the need for root canal treatment or tooth extraction. By placing a permanent crown before infection progresses to its advanced stages, our dentists can help you avoidan extraction as well as more serious and expensive dentistry.

At our Nashville, TN, practice, Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood use IPS Empress to create custom porcelain crowns. This advanced glass-ceramic material has been designed to mimic the translucency of teeth, reflect light the same way natural teeth do, and achieve the most realistic results. IPS Empress has also been refined for greater strength and durability to provide you with the highest level of protection. Our dentists will ensure that your crown is fabricated using the utmost attention to detail for a comfortablefit.

If you have existing oral health issues such as gum disease, these will need to be treated before a cap can be placed. Because we offer a comprehensive list of cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry treatments, one of our dentists can perform the preparatory care you need right here in our office.

The impressions will also be used to create temporary crowns made to stay on your teeth for approximately two weeks until your permanent dental crowns are completed by a dental laboratory. Your temporary crown will be placed and your bite will be checked to ensure that you are biting down and chewing properly.

If you are experiencing pain or sensitivity due to severe tooth decay or trauma, a porcelain restoration can provide long-lasting relief. Don't delay. Postponing a visit to the dentist can worsen your oral health and require more costly dental treatments.

If you need a crown for medical reasons, your insurance policy should cover at least a portion of treatment. However, if you are receiving your crown for cosmetic reasons, you can expect to pay for treatment out-of-pocket.

While dental bridges are traditionally used to replace single lost teeth, many patients are turning to dental implant-supported crowns due to the one-of-a-kind benefits implants provide. This solution can still qualify for insurance coverage of the crown itself, but implants are rarely covered.

First, if the underlying infection is not completely removed, the crown will need to be removed and replaced. If this happens, the decay that remains under the restoration can spread and cause further dental health problems.

The second risk of treatment is incorrect placement. If a crown is not placed correctly, it may not fit well. Having a poorly fitted crown can leave a patient more vulnerable to new decay. The surest way to avoid this issue is to trust your care to a reputable and experienced dental practice.
