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, 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 pay close attention to the patients surrounding teeth and design each veneer to complement the overall smile. The result is a beautiful, attractive new smile.

If cared for properly, your veneers will last a long time.  We ensure that your new veneers are constructed of the most durable porcelain materials available. 

Procedure

The procedure begins with the preparation of the tooth.  Sometimes meticulously shaping the tooth in preparation for the new veneer is necessary, however, in most instances no modification or grinding of the tooth structure is required. Once we have cleaned or slightly shaped the tooth, we will take an impression.  This impression will be sent to our lab where your new restoration will be crafted.

During your second visit to the office, we will proceed with the placement of your final restoration.  The veneers will be fitted comfortably into the mouth. We will make every effort to ensure that the new tooth feels exactly like one of your natural teeth.  The final step in the process will be to bond the new veneers into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
