What Are Dental Veneers?
These thin shells of dental ceramic are placed on the front surfaces of your teeth to conceal aesthetic flaws. Porcelain veneers are made using medical-grade porcelain that is incredibly durable and natural-looking.
If you take a close look at your teeth, you will notice that the enamel has translucent qualities. In other words, some light is able to pass through them. Porcelain also has a translucent surface, making the material well-suited for use in dental work.
Additionally, porcelain can be color-matched to suit the patient’s preferences. At the practice of Clint Newman, DDS, we can match the shade of the porcelain to your teeth to produce natural-looking results. If your teeth are affected by stains, or if you prefer a whiter appearance, the restorations can be made in a purer shade of white. You can also elect to undergo professional teeth whitening beforehand for a more dramatic enhancement.

An Incredibly Strong Solution
*According to research published by the British Dental Association.
Because of its lifelike appearance and durable qualities, porcelain is one of the most popular materials used in dentistry. It is commonly used to create crowns and dental bridges. Dental restorations made of porcelain can be expected to last 10 years or more. However, the lifespan of your restorations will depend on how well you care for your teeth and gums, daily wear and tear due to biting and chewing, and other factors. Patients who maintain a good oral health care routine, avoid hard and crunchy foods, and do not chew on their fingernails or other objects can prolong the life of their porcelain restorations.

Addressing Many Issues with Just One Treatment
Dental veneers are one of the most versatile cosmetic dentistry treatments available, and they can address a wide range of concerns. Patients who have the following cosmetic imperfections may be good candidates for porcelain veneers:
/https://d3b3by4navws1f.cloudfront.net/shutterstock_129454298-2.jpg)
A small accident like bumping your tooth against a hard surface can cause chips or cracks, making your smile look asymmetrical. This solution can conceal chips, cracks, or worn teeth that are otherwise in good condition.
/https://d3b3by4navws1f.cloudfront.net/734888425_Square.jpg)
Smoking, aging, and eating color-rich foods can stain your teeth. While these surface stains can be removed with whitening, deeper stains cannot. Dental veneers can conceal permanent stains like those caused by tetracycline.
/http://d3b3by4navws1f.cloudfront.net/1068463766_Square.jpg)
Some patients naturally have misshapen teeth. The lateral incisors are among the most commonly misshapen teeth, sometimes developing a small, pointed, or peg-like shape. Because of their position at the front of the smile, these misshapen teeth can make you feel self-conscious. However, they can be easily enhanced with dental veneers.
/https://d3b3by4navws1f.cloudfront.net/475350559_Square.jpg)
If you suffer from minor crowding, gaps, or other forms of misalignment, you can achieve a straight smile without braces. During your consultation, one of our dentists will evaluate your smile to ensure that your concerns can be addressed with dental veneers. Some patients' cases may be better suited to treatment using Invisalign.

Dental veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment because they can help you transform your smile in just two appointments. While orthodontic treatment can take several months or even years to correct crowded or gapped teeth, these thin porcelain shells can help you address these concerns in a fraction of the time. This can make it a great option for patients who have an important upcoming event such as a wedding, graduation, or public speaking engagement.

Do You Qualify for This Treatment?
During your first visit to our Nashville, TN, office, Dr. Newman or Dr. Underwood will conduct a full evaluation of your oral health, overall health, and medical history to ensure that you are a good candidate for this treatment. To qualify for treatment, you should:
Be in Good Oral Health
Before undergoing any cosmetic treatment, you should have a healthy smile. If you have cavities, gum disease, severe bite misalignment, or other oral health issues, Dr. Clint Newman or Dr. Thomas Underwood will need to resolve them prior to moving ahead with cosmetic treatment.Have Healthy Enamel
To make room for your veneers, one of our dentists will need to remove some of your enamel during the preparation phase of the treatment. Therefore, you should have enough enamel to protect the tooth following this alteration.Manage Teeth Grinding
Although porcelain is very strong, the material is not indestructible. If you grind your teeth excessively, it can increase the risk of fracturing your restorations. In some cases, an oral appliance can help. Dr. Newman or Dr. Underwood can fabricate a custom oral appliance that can be worn during sleep to protect your restorations from excessive force.
Have Correctable Issues
These thin custom shells can treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns. But if you suffer from pronounced misalignment or severely crooked or gapped teeth, you might be a better candidate for other treatments such as Invisalign.Maintain Realistic Expectations
Veneers will need to be replaced at some point in the future, and teeth prepped for traditional veneers will always require some kind of restoration. If you are comfortable with this aspect of veneers, we can move ahead with treatment.
Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Although porcelain is resistant to stains and decay, your surrounding teeth are not. In order to maintain the results of your procedure, you will need to commit to a good oral hygiene routine after treatment. Our cosmetic dentists will instruct you on how to care for your new veneers to ensure that they look great and last as long as possible.Call Us Today To Find Out If You Are a Candidate

A Solution for Many Cosmetic Needs
But doesn't dental bonding achieve the same results?
Comparing Dental Veneers and Dental Bonding
One of the most commonly used alternatives is dental bonding.
Although dental bonding is reversible and more affordable, it does not offer the same strength, long-lasting results, or lifelike outcomes as veneers. If these benefits are important to you, dental veneers may be a better investment.

"Excellent Experience."
"Dr Newman and his staff are top notch! I have been struggling with all these non caring short staffed dentists offices all around Nashville, and was excited to get an appointment as quickly as I was needing one. I have referred 6 people already, 4 who have already went and had the same excellent experience."
We Use A State-of-the-Art Approach for Outstanding Results
/https://d1l9wtg77iuzz5.cloudfront.net/assets/4877/297281/original.jpg?1585949533)
Although many dentists offer this treatment, most do not possess the level of training and attention to detail offered by Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood.
We customize every step of the procedure to ensure consistently beautiful, natural-looking results. To begin, we will take a detailed impression of your smile to ensure that your new veneers fit precisely.
Our team uses only the most advanced materials to create durable, highly lifelike results. We offer three popular brands: MAC, IPS Empress® and IPS e.max®. All three brands are created from pressed glass-ceramic, which is as beautiful as stacked porcelain options of the past but much more durable. These materials come in a variety of shades to closely match your surrounding teeth and complement your facial features. During your in-office consultation, our cosmetic dentists will determine which brand is best suited to your needs.
We Offer 3 Brands:
Thanks to their unique construction, MAC veneers are two to three times more durable than traditional options. That means less damage from wear and tear, a longer lifespan, and less need for repair. The best part is that MAC veneers do not involve a radically different placement process. In fact, the process is identical to the traditional method of preparation and placement.
IPS Empress is leucite-reinforced ceramic available in a wide range of shades and layering options. Dr. Newman can match this material to the shape and shade of your natural teeth. Empress Esthetic veneers are known for their natural appearance and durability. They can be pressed to certain strengths and layered to create an optimal look that fits your smile.
IPS e.max is an alternative option with an emphasis on excellent durability. These veneers are made of pressed ceramic over lithium disilicate (a high-strength ceramic material). Lithium disilicate and leucite are exceptionally strong materials that are not only highly durable, but also astonishingly natural-looking. Both e.max and Empress options are applied using similar processes.

Traditional Veneers vs. LUMINEERS®:
When comparing porcelain veneers and LUMINEERS, it is important for patients to understand their similarities and differences. LUMINEERS is a brand of veneers that requires little to no alteration of the existing tooth structure. However, this treatment can result in a thicker tooth that may be more difficult to clean and floss. For patients in the Nashville, TN, area, Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood offer three premium materials that are superior to LUMINEERS in terms of long-lasting results and patient satisfaction.
If you are thinking about LUMINEERS, here are some important factors to consider:
/https://d1l9wtg77iuzz5.cloudfront.net/assets/4877/297899/original.jpg?1586370208)
Differences between Veneers and LUMINEERS
When considering which type to choose, it is important to understand the main differences between the two products. LUMINEERS are fabricated using Cerinate® porcelain, an exceptionally strong material that can be both very thin and strong. However, to compensate for the thinness of LUMINEERS, the material must be more opaque to properly conceal the underlying imperfections. In contrast, traditional veneers are more translucent, allowing the material to closely mimic the qualities of natural teeth. The thickness of veneers and LUMINEERS also influences the method of placement. With ultra-thin LUMINEERS, little to no enamel is removed before placing the restoration. Therefore, the natural structure of your tooth is maintained and the procedure is reversible. Porcelain veneers are thicker and require Dr. Newman to remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of the treated teeth. This process ensures that your veneers will fit properly without appearing bulky.
Disadvantages of LUMINEERS
Due to their thin design, LUMINEERS generally cannot provide the same lifelike results as Dr. Newman's high-quality porcelain veneers. They do not possess the same subtle characteristics as traditional options and often cannot adequately mask severe discoloration. In addition, since the underlying teeth are not altered in any way, LUMINEERS may make patients' teeth may appear large or bulky. LUMINEERS are also more likely to affect your speech, biting habits, and comfort. For many patients, LUMINEERS are more difficult to keep clean, which can lead to oral health concerns.

Prepping the Tooth
After removing a very thin layer of enamel, your dentist will place the restoration onto the front surface.

Considering the dramatic results that can be achieved with this solution, the treatment process is fairly quick and simple. The preparation and placement are completed in two one-hour visits to our Nashville, TN, office. After the first visit, we will place temporaries, which will help to improve the appearance of your smile after your first appointment. About one week later, we will place your permanent veneers, completing your treatment.

Dr. Newman was very nice and professional. He has a very nice heart. He was truthful and kind when he did my assessment. The whole staff was great especially Heidi. Thank you I will return.

As always, going to Dr. Newman is an experience where the highest level of professionalism prevails. The staff is capable, pleasant and organized. The office is state of the art, and tastefully decorated. Dr. Newman is conscientious, skilled and possesses excellent people skills.
Recovering from the Procedure
After the treatment is complete, you can go home immediately. Some patients experience sensitivity to hot or cold drinks and foods, but this side effect is temporary. If you are uncomfortable due to sensitivity, you can take over-the-counter pain medication to ease discomfort.
Before & After
Seeing before and after photos can help you make a final decision about whether this solution is right for you. Each before and after image from our Nashville, TN, practice showcases the diversity of porcelain veneers as a cosmetic solution, the high-quality materials we use, and the dramatic results that can be achieved with this treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Newman will share several before and after photos with you to demonstrate how dental veneers can help with your unique case.
Our before and after images fall into several categories:
Veneers for Discoloration
While Dr. Newman can address some types of discoloration with teeth whitening or dental bonding, there are many types of blemishes that are resistant to bleaching agents. When teeth are severely discolored, porcelain veneers are often the best option for providing the desired results. In addition, previous dental treatments, such as bonding or crowns, do not respond to whitening solutions and require an alternative solution. For patients with severe discoloration due to decalcification, fluorosis, trauma, or childhood tetracycline use, Dr. Newman can create lifelike veneers using IPS e.max for dazzling results.
Veneers for a Straighter Smile
Many patients with gaps or spacing issues do not like the idea of undergoing a lengthy orthodontic treatment. Others do not qualify for orthodontics due to issues such as the size of their teeth. In these situations, Dr. Newman can use custom-crafted restorations to conceal gaps for a more symmetrical and beautiful smile.
Veneers for Multiple Issues
These restorations allow Dr. Newman to address a variety of conditions with a single procedure. They can perform the work of teeth whitening, dental crowns, and orthodontics all at the same time.
Replacing Old Dental Work
Dr. Newman is dedicated to improving the aesthetics of his patients' smiles. In many cases, patients may have outdated dentistry that looks unnatural or is compromised due to normal wear. Some of these issues may result from lower quality material or changes in your teeth and gums. At our practice, we can replace dental work performed by other dentists with high-quality materials for excellent results.

Improved Symmetry
Proper Care
One of the perks of this treatment is that it requires no recovery or downtime. Although your teeth might feel sensitive after the procedure, you will be able to resume your normal activities right away.
In general, you can care for your new smile just like you would care for your natural teeth. To protect them from premature damage or fractures, you should avoid certain habits such as:
- Chewing on ice
- Biting on pens
- Flossing up and down vigorously
- Biting your nails
- Opening packages using your teeth
If the restorations become damaged, do not attempt to repair them at home. This can lead to even further damage, so call our office immediately and we will arrange to see you as soon as possible.

Are There Any Risks?
In general, our patients face few risks and experience only very minor side effects after treatment. Patients may experience some sensitivity after the teeth are prepared or resized. The most important factor that patients should be aware of is that treatment is irreversible, and the dental veneers will have to be replaced if they chip, fall off, or become worn.

We're Always Available to Answer Your Questions
Because dental veneers are an investment, we understand that you may have questions or concerns. To help you feel informed, Dr. Newman and Dr. Underwood have compiled a list of helpful responses to the most frequently asked questions:
What are porcelain veneers?
Crafted from advanced dental ceramic, porcelain veneers are thin shells that fit over the front surfaces of your anterior teeth to conceal a range of cosmetic issues.
Who is a candidate for this treatment?
Patients with chips, cracks, discoloration, and minor misalignment can achieve a significant improvement in the appearance of their smile after treatment. There are certain conditions that can limit your candidacy for veneers. Dr. Newman will assess your oral health and determine the most effective treatment option for your needs.
What brands are offered at your Nashville practice?
We provide three brands: MAC, IPS e.max, and IPS Empress. All three brands utilize high-end materials for attractive results.
Can this solution treat all teeth?
They are used to treat the anterior teeth (the teeth at the front of your smile). For the back teeth, we utilize alternative treatments, such as dental crowns, that can handle the force of your bite more effectively.
How long does it take to receive a porcelain veneer?
Generally, it takes about one to two weeks between making the impressions and receiving the final product from our partner dental laboratory.
What types of imperfections or conditions can be treated?
Porcelain veneers are highly versatile and can treat a range of cosmetic concerns, including crooked or overlapping teeth, misshapen teeth, gaps or spaces between teeth, severe discoloration or staining, disproportionate teeth, chips, cracks, and wear.
Is the treatment reversible?
In most cases, the results are considered permanent. During the procedure, Dr. Newman will change the structure of your teeth to properly place the ultra-thin shells. Without this process, they would appear bulky and unnatural. The alterations to your enamel make it necessary to have some kind of restoration in place at all times.
How long do they typically last?
These restorations can last 10 years or longer. For some patients, they can last even longer. Their life expectancy depends on several factors, including proper maintenance.What maintenance is required?
You can care for them the same way as your natural teeth: brush twice and floss at least once daily. We can also monitor the condition of your restorations and the health of your teeth at each six-month checkup.
What can I do to make sure they last?
Patients should avoid chewing hard non-food items (such as pens) and using your teeth as tools. It's important to remember that while your veneers are stain-resistant, your natural teeth are not. You can maintain the color and vibrancy of your results by limiting your consumption of dark-colored drinks, such as wine, coffee, tea, or soda. Tobacco products should also be avoided.
