There are many cosmetic and restorative dentistry options for patients wanting everything from a subtle change to a complete smile makeover! One of the most popular options today are porcelain veneers.

At Dental Creations in Medford, Dr. Poorva Parnaik offers her dental patients both composite resin and porcelain veneers as a cosmetic option for those seeking a change to their smile as well as to treat a variety of dental problems:

• Close spaces between teeth
• Improve the appearance of crooked teeth
• Repair chipped or broken teeth
• Cover stained or discolored teeth

While composite veneers are removable veneers that are attached directly to the tooth, porcelain veneers are permanent and can last for many years with proper oral hygiene, including regular preventive care visits to Dr. Parniak in her Medford dental office for thorough dental cleanings and exams. Porcelain veneers are made from a translucent material and both appear and function just like a natural tooth. They are highly stain resistant, offering years of bright, white smiles! Dr. Parnaik will perform a thorough exam and recommend the best treatment option to suit a patient’s oral health needs, their personal goals and their budget.

Porcelain veneers require 2-3 visits to complete treatment. Dr. Parnaik will provide temporary restorations while custom made porcelain veneers are created in a dental lab. Once complete, Dr. Parnaik will place the veneers and patients can function normally with no diet restrictions! Porcelain veneers are considered permanent and with proper care and maintenance- Dr. Parnaik will advise patients on effective at home care- they can last a lifetime.

If you are ready for a cosmetic change to enhance your natural smile or have a dental problem that needs attention, schedule an appointment with Dr. Parnaik at Dental Creations to discuss your options.
