Imagine a smile that radiates confidence and charm. Veneers can make that a reality! Veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry solution for those seeking a flawless smile in Helotes. These ultra-thin, custom-made shells are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth, enhancing their appearance by altering their color, shape, size, or length.
Veneers are typically crafted from porcelain or resin composite materials, both known for their durability and natural appearance. Whether you're dealing with discolored, worn down, chipped, or misaligned teeth, veneers can transform your smile into one that you're proud to show off. Dr. Sarah Kinard at Kinard Family Dental is dedicated to providing exceptional veneer treatments that cater to your unique dental needs and aesthetic goals.

Veneers offer a transformative solution for those looking to enhance their smile with minimal dental intervention. They are a versatile option for addressing various dental imperfections, including stains that resist whitening, chipped or broken teeth, and gaps between teeth.
Veneers are not only about aesthetics, either. They can also protect the surface of damaged teeth and may eliminate the need for more extensive treatments. With veneers, you can achieve a natural-looking, bright smile that boosts your confidence and overall appearance. The process is minimally invasive, and the results are long-lasting, making veneers a worthwhile investment in your dental health and self-esteem.

Veneers can last up to 15 years with proper care and maintenance.

Veneers are crafted to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing teeth. This attention to detail creates a smile that looks authentic and beautiful.
Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, so you can enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without worrying about discoloration. This means a whiter smile for years to come.
Despite their thin structure, veneers are incredibly strong and can withstand normal biting forces, providing you with a durable solution that enhances both function and appearance.

Your journey to a new smile begins with a comprehensive consultation at Kinard Family Dental. Dr. Sarah Kinard will assess your dental health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if veneers are the right option for you.
This step involves taking X-rays and impressions of your teeth to ensure a precise fit. Together, you'll decide on the best shade and shape for your veneers, ensuring they complement your facial features and meet your expectations.
Once you've decided to proceed, the next step involves preparing your teeth for the veneers. Dr. Kinard will gently remove a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface, approximately the thickness of the veneer. This is crucial to ensure a natural look and proper fit.
After preparation, impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory where your custom veneers are crafted. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth until the permanent ones are ready.

When your custom veneers are ready, you'll return to Kinard Family Dental for the final placement. Dr. Kinard will first place the veneers on your teeth to examine their fit and color, making any necessary adjustments. Your teeth will then be cleaned, polished, and etched to create a strong bonding surface.
A special adhesive is applied to the veneers, which are then carefully positioned on your teeth. Once in place, a curing light is used to harden the adhesive, securing the veneers firmly. Dr. Kinard will make final adjustments and provide guidance on caring for your new smile.
