Do Porcelain Veneers Feel Like Real Teeth?
Are you showcasing your best smile? Or is your smile compromised by stained, chipped, uneven, or gapped teeth? These cosmetic issues can be remedied fairly easily with veneers. A visit to the office of Stephen Huber, DDS, can determine if you’re a good candidate for porcelain veneers near me. For your convenience, we serve residents in Olathe and Leawood, Kansas. Here are some common questions we’re often asked about veneers.
What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are ultra-thin, porcelain shells Dr. Huber can bond to your teeth to cover imperfections you find displeasing. They can close tooth gaps, whiten stained teeth, straighten slightly uneven teeth, and more! Your smile can be transformed with veneers.
What are the advantages of getting veneers?
Dr. Huber can make your smile beautiful and unique with veneers. Your restorations are custom-crafted in a lab to resemble your natural teeth for an authentic, realistic appearance. Once bonded to your existing teeth, your smile will appear smooth and unblemished. The only alteration to your teeth is removing a thin enamel layer to accommodate the veneers.
Due to their strength and durability, porcelain veneers look and feel like real teeth. They resist stains, are easy to care for, and last up to 15 years. Once cemented in place, veneers stay on your teeth permanently, improving the quality of your smile.

What’s the process for getting veneers?
Dr. Huber will start with a consultation to evaluate your teeth and discuss the changes you want to make. This will help us determine if veneers are your best option for improving your smile. If so, we’ll plan your treatment and prep your teeth to receive veneers. We’ll take impressions of your prepped teeth to a lab where porcelain veneers are fabricated. Creating veneers can take several weeks, so we’ll put temporary restorations in place. When your permanent veneers are ready, we’ll bond them to your teeth, giving your grin a dazzling new appearance.

Can I eat anything with veneers?
Most importantly, you can eat normally with veneers and enjoy your favorite foods. Hard and sticky foods like hard candies, caramel, and taffy, however, should be avoided as they can damage or dislodge your veneers.
What other precautions should I take with veneers?
Porcelain veneers are strong, but not indestructible. If you grind your teeth at night, use a night guard to protect your veneers (and teeth!) from chipping and cracking. You should also refrain from chewing on ice, chomping on pens and pencils, and using your teeth like tools.
Does it hurt to get veneers?
No, the veneer process isn’t painful. Dr. Huber can use a mild anesthetic to avoid discomfort or sensitivity when removing tooth enamel and placing your veneers.
