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 to correct 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, have large gaps between teeth 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 veneers are constructed of the most durable porcelain materials available.

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 take an impression. This impression is sent to our lab where your new restoration will be crafted. While the new veneers are created, we provide you with a temporary restoration. Our temporary restorations  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, we proceed with the placement of your final restoration. The veneers are fitted comfortably into the mouth. We make every effort to ensure that the new tooth feels exactly like one of your natural teeth.  The final step in the process is to bond the new veneers into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
