Veneers Treatment in Marysville, WA

A confident, beautiful smile can light up a room and make a lasting positive impression. However, if you're feeling less than thrilled about the state of your teeth, veneers at Blu Dental & Wellness can create the transformative change you need. 

What Are Dental Veneers in Marysville?

Veneers are custom-made, thin shells designed to cover the front surfaces of teeth that are visible when you smile. They hide whatever tooth imperfections lie beneath to give your smile a uniform, symmetrical appearance. 

We offer two types of veneers at our Marysville, WA, dental office: porcelain and composite resin, also called no-prep veneers. 

There’s no question that veneers are effective; all you have to do is look at hundreds of picture-perfect celebrity smiles! Veneers are also popular because they can solve numerous aesthetic concerns, including:

• Stained or discolored teeth that can’t be whitened
• Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
• Poorly shaped teeth
• Teeth that appear too short
• Wide or uneven gaps between teeth
• Minor misalignments or uneven teeth

Correcting these issues perfects your smile and motivates you to share it confidently with the world.

Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers: What's the Difference?

We offer both porcelain and composite veneers at Blu Dental and Wellness, each with its pros and cons.

Porcelain veneers are known for their exceptional durability and stain resistance. They closely replicate the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, creating a remarkably realistic appearance. These veneers require tooth preparation and usually involve two appointments; however, they can last 10 years or longer with proper care.

Composite veneers are a more budget-friendly choice. Due to the minimal tooth preparation involved, you may also hear them called "no-prep" or “direct” veneers. This type of veneer consists of composite resin applied directly to the teeth and shaped for a natural appearance and beautiful smile. While they are initially more affordable, composite veneers are less stain-resistant and must be replaced every five years.

Dr. Timmerman's expertise will guide you in choosing the most suitable veneers for your unique needs, aesthetic goals, and budget.

During your first veneer appointment, we prepare your teeth by gently removing a small amount of enamel. Next, we take comfortable digital impressions of your teeth used by a trusted dental lab to custom-craft your veneers. Using a handheld shade guide, we choose the perfect shade of white for your veneers so that they blend in with surrounding teeth.

Your second appointment takes place when your veneers are ready. Dr. Timmerman adjusts them carefully to ensure they look natural, fit comfortably, and don’t interfere with your dental bite. The final step is to cement your veneers securely on your teeth. 

Ensuring Your Veneers’ Longevity 

Maintaining regular oral care is crucial when you have veneers. This involves conscientious at-home oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental check-ups and teeth cleanings. 

We also recommend avoiding hard or crunchy foods like crusty bread that could damage your veneers. Likewise, don’t use your teeth as tools to open packages, and avoid chewing on objects like ice or pens.
