Veneers

Porcelain veneers are extremely thin casings of ceramic that are bonded to the front of the patients’ tooth to create a new smile. Porcelain veneers are placed over the front of teeth that appear too small or large, slightly discolored, or simply are not cosmetically pleasing to the patient. For many patients, teeth may have chipped, become discolored, or are slightly crooked. For the majority of these patients, porcelain veneers can prove to be the perfect solution.

When placing porcelain veneers, we custom design every veneer to complement the overall smile. The result is a beautiful, attractive new smile.

If cared for properly, your veneers can last 10-20 years or maybe longer. Modern dentisty allows us to construct you veneers in the most durable and visibly pleasing porcelain materials available today.

Procedure

The procedure begins with the preparation of the tooth. This entails removing the discolored or unsightly portion of the tooth and meticulously shaping the tooth in preparation for the new veneer. Once we have shaped the tooth, we will take an impression. This impression will be sent to our lab where your new restoration will be crafted. While the new veneers are created, we will provide you with a temporary restoration. Our temporary restorations will resemble your natural teeth so that you can continue with your daily life without worrying about a missing or incompatible tooth.

During your second visit to the office, the veneers will be fitted comfortably into the mouth. We will make every effort to ensure that the new teeth feel exactly like natural teeth. They are then bonded onto your real teeth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
