Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain. They are created by a professional dental laboratory and are then bonded onto the front of your teeth, resulting in a visually appealing smile.

Veneers have the capacity to completely reshape your teeth and smile, and they can often serve as alternatives to crowns. They are the ideal solution for treating a variety of dental conditions.

Like most dental restorations, veneers aren’t permanent and may require replacement in the future. However, they are highly durable and can last many years, providing you with a beautiful, enduring smile.

The following are some reasons why you might consider porcelain veneers:

• To cosmetically create a uniform, white, and beautiful smile.
• For crooked teeth.
• For misshapen teeth.
• For severely discolored or stained teeth.
• For teeth that are too small or large.
• To address unwanted or uneven spaces.
• For worn or chipped teeth.
• What does the process of getting porcelain veneers involve?

The process of getting veneers typically requires two visits, with little or no anesthesia required. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to account for the thickness of the veneer. An impression or mold of your teeth is then taken, and you and your dentist will choose a shade (color).

During your second visit, your teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to ensure a durable bond. Bonding cement is then applied between the tooth and the veneer, and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.

Upon completion of the procedure, you will be given care instructions for your new veneers. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will help prolong the lifespan of your veneers.
