Transform Your Smile with Veneers at Northpoint Dental

Introduction

Have you ever smiled in the mirror and wished for a brighter, more even set of teeth? You’re not alone. Many in the North Jacksonville and Oceanway neighborhoods are exploring ways to boost their confidence with a stunning smile. At Northpoint Dental, Dr. Sara Makary and our team specialize in cosmetic solutions like veneers to help you achieve that dream look. But what exactly are veneers, and are they right for you? Let’s break it down.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells—typically made of porcelain or composite resin—that cover the front surface of your teeth. Think of them as a beautiful, durable mask for imperfections like chips, stains, or gaps. According to the American Dental Association, veneers are a popular choice for improving aesthetics without invasive procedures. At Northpoint Dental, we craft each veneer to match your natural smile, ensuring a seamless, personalized result.

Why Choose Veneers?

Living in Oceanway, you deserve a smile that reflects your vibrant community spirit. Veneers offer a versatile fix for:

• Stains: Coffee, wine, or years of wear that whitening can’t fully address.
• Chips or Cracks: Small damages that affect your confidence.
• Gaps: Spaces between teeth you’d like to close without braces.
• Shape Issues: Teeth that are uneven or oddly proportioned.

Dr. Makary, with her decade of experience in public health and dentistry, ensures every veneer procedure prioritizes your comfort and long-term oral health. Plus, our spa-like office at 11257 Alta Drive—complete with local Jacksonville art—makes the process feel like a treat, not a chore.

The Veneer Process at Northpoint Dental

Here’s what you can expect when you choose veneers with us:

1. Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals and examine your teeth to confirm veneers are a fit.
2. Preparation: A thin layer of enamel is gently removed to make room for the veneer—don’t worry, we offer sedation if you’re feeling anxious.
3. Design: Impressions of your teeth are sent to a lab (or crafted in-house with our advanced tech) for a perfect fit.
4. Placement: Once ready, your veneers are bonded securely, and we’ll fine-tune them for a natural look.

The whole process typically takes two to three visits, and you’ll leave with a smile that’s both beautiful and functional.

Are Veneers Right for You?

Veneers aren’t for everyone. They’re ideal if you have healthy teeth but want a cosmetic upgrade. If you’re dealing with severe decay or gum disease, Dr. Makary might recommend starting with restorative care first. During your consultation, we’ll tailor a plan just for you—something we’ve been doing for North Jacksonville families since opening in June 2023.

Caring for Your Veneers

Porcelain veneers can last 10–15 years with proper care, per a study from the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry. To keep them shining:

• Brush and floss daily (our preventive care tips can help!).
• Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens.
• Visit us regularly at Northpoint Dental for check-ups.
