What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of highly durable dental ceramic material. They’re custom-made to fit over the front surfaces of your teeth to conceal a variety of cosmetic flaws such as:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Misshapen or irregularly shaped teeth
- Minor misalignment issues
The high-quality porcelain reflects light similarly to natural tooth enamel, creating a seamless and lustrous appearance. Veneers are meticulously color-matched to blend in with your surrounding teeth for stunning, revitalized results.
At Nash Family Dentistry in Vicksburg, Dr. Nash uses only the highest quality veneers made from advanced ceramic materials. With his precise technique and an artistic eye for smile design, you can achieve a total smile makeover with veneers.
The Veneers Process
Getting porcelain veneers at our Vicksburg, MS dental office is a straightforward process that typically requires two to three visits. During your first appointment, Dr. Nash will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to allow the veneers to fit seamlessly. He’ll then take impressions and images to precisely design your custom veneers.
At your next visit to our Vicksburg dental office, Dr. Nash will carefully bond the veneers to the front surfaces of your teeth. He’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and natural fit and bite. Throughout the process, Dr. Nash keeps you relaxed and informed every step of the way. You’ll leave our office that day with a bright, fully functional smile.
Caring for Your Veneers
With simple care and maintenance, your beautiful porcelain veneers from Nash Family Dentistry can last for many years to come. Dr. Nash recommends these tips:
- Practice excellent oral hygiene with daily brushing and flossing
- Avoid biting on hard objects like ice or nutshells
- Don’t use your teeth as tools to open packages
- Visit our Vicksburg dental office every six months for cleanings and checkups
While veneers are extremely durable, they can still be chipped or cracked by excessive force. Taking good care of your veneers will help them maintain their brilliant appearance for over a decade.

Improving Oral Function with Aesthetic Restorations
Porcelain veneers, Lumineers®, and Snap-On Smile® are all cosmetically-driven treatments, but they also improve the function of the teeth by restoring proper height, strength, and alignment. Snap-On Smile, for example, can effectively improve bite function by replacing one or more missing teeth. Porcelain veneers and Lumineers help to restore biting power to front teeth that may be worn, broken, or gapped.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of very strong material that cover over the front portion of the teeth visible when you smile. Porcelain veneers are ideal for improving the height, width, length, and shade of teeth. Stain resistant and color-matched to blend harmoniously to your other teeth and skin tone, porcelain veneers can permanently brighten your smile without professional whitening.
Lumineers®
Lumineers are similar to porcelain veneers, but they are thinner and do not require any preparation of the tooth before being bonded. Lumineers are translucent in color, helping to match the natural enamel of teeth, while being able to permanently brighten teeth without appearing fake. Unlike porcelain veneers, Lumineers can be removed because the existing tooth has not been altered.
Snap-On Smile®
Snap-On Smile is a full arch of straight, white teeth similar in structure to a night retainer that snap on over existing teeth. Custom made to fit snugly over the teeth, Snap-On Smile can hide gaps, chips, discoloration, and small, worn, or missing teeth. Like a retainer, Snap-On Smile can be removed to clean, but can be worn while you eat and drink. Snap-On Smile is highly durable and stain-resistant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years before they may need to be replaced. Only the highest quality materials are used to ensure your veneers provide long-lasting results.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are considered semi-permanent. A small amount of enamel is removed to accommodate the veneers, so the procedure is irreversible once completed. However, veneers can later be replaced when needed.
Do veneers require any special care?
No, caring for veneers is just like caring for your natural teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene habits and visit every six months for cleanings. Avoid biting very hard objects that could chip or crack the veneers.
Are there any food restrictions with veneers?
You can eat all of your favorite foods after getting veneers, but you may need to make adjustments if you enjoy biting into very hard foods or objects like nuts, candy apples, ice, etc. Anything that could potentially chip natural teeth can also damage veneers.
