Porcelain Veneers in Lihue

lihue woman getting veneers Porcelain veneers offer a transformative solution that addresses multiple aesthetic smile concerns simultaneously. At Garden Island Dental, Dr. Chris Godla creates custom veneers that cover imperfections and provide natural-looking results that enhance your smile, only better!

Why Dental Veneers?

We bond ultra-thin ceramic shells, about the thickness of a contact lens, to the front teeth to create the smile you've always dreamed of. Unlike other cosmetic options that address one issue at a time, veneers simultaneously transform tooth color, shape, size, length, and alignment.

Smile Concerns Veneers Address

Porcelain veneers correct a wide range of aesthetic issues, including:

Discolored teeth that don’t respond to whitening
Chipped or broken teeth
Cracked teeth
Gaps between front teeth
Slightly crooked or misaligned teeth
Teeth that appear too short or worn down
Irregularly shaped teeth
Old dental work that no longer matches the surrounding teeth

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are an investment that offers numerous benefits.

Complete Smile Transformation

Veneers address multiple cosmetic concerns to create a harmonious, balanced smile that enhances your facial appearance and boosts your confidence in social and professional settings.

Stain-Resistant

Porcelain's non-porous surface resists staining from coffee, wine, and other common culprits, ensuring your smile stays bright and beautiful throughout the years with regular care and maintenance.

Lasting Beauty

With proper care, high-quality porcelain veneers can maintain their beauty and function for 10 years or longer, making them a long-term investment in your appearance and confidence.

Collaborative Treatment Planning

dental veneers Veneers are a long-term investment in your appearance, and we believe that achieving the best results requires understanding your smile goals and vision. During your consultation, Dr. Godla takes the time to discuss your concerns, what you hope to achieve, and how veneers can address your specific needs.

Honesty and transparency guide every recommendation. Sometimes, composite veneers, which can be completed in a single visit with minimal tooth preparation, may better serve your needs. Dr. Godla will explain the pros and cons of both options to help you make an informed decision that fits your budget, timeline, and lifestyle.

Preparing for Veneers Success

Before recommending veneers in Lihue, HI, we must ensure that underlying teeth and gums provide a healthy, stable foundation for your investment. If decay or gum disease is present, we must address these issues first to protect your veneers and your long-term oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the process for getting veneers?

Getting veneers at Garden Island Dental is a straightforward process that typically requires two appointments spaced several weeks apart. During these appointments, Dr. Godla performs the following steps:

Initial consultation — We evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if veneers are the ideal solution for your needs.
Tooth Preparation — We remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for the veneers to fit properly. Our digital impressions eliminate the traditional messy process and allow for more natural-looking, better-fitting results. At this appointment, we also place temporaries on your teeth to protect them while your final veneers are fabricated.
Laboratory Crafting — Your impressions go to a custom dental lab, where skilled technicians create your custom veneers using only the highest-quality porcelain materials available.
Final Placement — We securely bond the new veneers to your teeth, making final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit, comfort, and flawless aesthetics.

Porcelain Veneers Technology

Digital Impressions

Gone are the days of messy, uncomfortable impression materials. Our digital impression system uses a small wand to capture precise 3-D models of your teeth in minutes. Perfect for creating crowns, bridges, clear aligners, and veneers, this technology provides superior accuracy while eliminating the gag reflex many patients experience with traditional impressions. The result is better-fitting restorations and a much more comfortable experience.
