Cerinate™ General Questions

While traditional veneers involve a much longer, more painful process, Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers placement is quick and painless.

How are Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers different from traditional veneers?

Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers are preformed, ultra-thin veneers that are designed to fit over your existing teeth. They're fabricated in highly-translucent porcelain that replicates the appearance of enamel. Unlike traditional veneers, which are much thicker and can require the grinding down of your original tooth structure, Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers are so thin that little-to-no tooth reduction is necessary. Since they're preformed, they can be adjusted to fit and permanently placed in most cases by your dentist in a single appointment. They're highly durable and resilient, and resist wear for many years.

Is the Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers procedure painful?

No. The placement procedure is a completely pain-free way to reshape and permanently whiten your teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, your dentist can fit them without shots or grinding down your original tooth structure. Once the procedure is completed, you shouldn't experience any post-placement discomfort or sensitivity. Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers look and feel great as soon as they are placed!

My teeth are crooked and somewhat uneven. Can I get Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers or do I need braces?

In many cases, Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers will make your teeth look straighter and more uniform, as well as much whiter. Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and decide whether orthodontic treatment is necessary prior to veneer placement.

How long will Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers last?

Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers are proven to last and backed by 20 years of clinical research. Like any product, cases may vary.

How long does the placement procedure take?

The length of the procedure depends on how many veneers you're having placed. Some cases are completed in one hour and those with more veneers can take longer.

What happens during the placement procedure?

Your dentist will select the right size Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers for your existing teeth and then will adjust them to achieve a precise fit. No shots or drilling of sensitive tooth structure is required.

Can I still eat whatever sticky foods I like or chew gum?

You can eat and drink what you want with total confidence because Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers are applied in the most durable way possible. However, they don't replace good oral hygiene, so you should continue to visit your dentist every six months for a checkup and cleaning to keep your new smile healthy and looking its best.

Can Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers be removed?

Yes. Cerinate One-hour Permanent Veneers are completely reversible because there's no grinding down of healthy tooth structure in most cases. Your natural teeth remain as strong as they were before treatment.
