Porcelain Veneers
SSP and SWEEPS® Endodontic Laser Treatment
A comprehensive approach to porcelain veneers at Paramount Smile. We create a “Hollywood smile” and solve the underlying causes of dental problems.
Porcelain (Ceramic) Veneers these are thin ceramic dental build-ups that are glued to the front surface of your teeth to make them look perfect. Defects that can be removed are:
- wide interdental gaps
- blackened fillings on the front side of the front teeth (those visible when you smile)
- worn out teeth
- a “gummy smile” (when gums are exposed more than 2 mm when smiling).
A smart approach to porcelain veneers at Paramout Smile
Finding the underlying causes of dental aesthetic problems Gneuromuscular Dentistry
Our team first performs a GNM examination (he is one of the few specialists in Florida who is trained in gneuromuscular dentistry), to see if the patient’s bite needs to be changed. We not only conceals aesthetic defects of the teeth with veneers, but also finds and eliminates their causes.
Installation of veneers under a microscope
Our team uses a dental microscope to install esthetic veneers. This approach guarantees a perfect fit of dental build-ups to the gums, eliminating the risk of inflammation.
Porcelain Veneer Procedure
It takes three visits to have veneers installed at Paramount Smile.
1
Diagnosis
The patient undergoes a comprehensive diagnosis of the dento-alveolar system:
- we evaluate the movement of the jaws when chewing, swallowing, and opening/closing the mouth
- we analyze the condition of the temporomandibular joint
- we examine the tone of facial muscles at rest and during work.
We then make a decision on how many teeth need to have veneers installed, and whether it is necessary to correct the bite beforehand.
2
Digital Smile Design
A special computer program creates a 3D model of the patient’s dento-alveolar system. We show the patient the causes of dental problems identified during the examination and discusses options for their rectification. The patient can see their future smile before treatment even begins.
1
Periodontal Preparation
We clean the surface of the teeth of bacterial/pigmented plaque. We remove dental plaque in the gum area. We perform a gingival plasty, if necessary.
2
Preparation of Enamel
The enamel is resurfaced under local anesthesia (up to 0.5 mm) from the teeth where the porcelain veneers are to be placed.
3
Taking an Impression
A digital impression is taken and sent to the dental laboratory for the fabrication of the esthetic veneers with the Sirona Primescan intraoral scanner.
4
Temporary Build-ups
Temporary build-ups are placed on the resurfaced teeth while ceramic feldspar veneers are being made.

Veneer Care
1
WHAT TO DO:
Take proper care of your teeth and gums
Brush twice a day with a low-abrasive toothpaste. Use a string of floss to clean between your teeth.
Come in for professional oral hygiene once every 4 months
Even with thorough brushing, bacterial plaque can build up on the teeth, and tartar can be deposited in the gum area. This can only be removed in the clinic.
2
WHAT NOT TO DO:
Don’t bite hard objects
Ceramic veneers are not repairable. The build-up will have to be replaced with a new one if it chips or a crack appears.
Quit smoking
(or reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke per day as much as possible). Nicotine negatively affects gum health, increasing the risk of recession.
