Veneers
Porcelain veneers are extremely thin facings of ceramic that are bonded to the front of the patient's teeth 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 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 many years.
Procedure
Often the teeth will require little or no preparation. If a tooth is bulky or out of line, a small rehaping of that spot is done. 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.
During your second visit to the office, we will proceed with the placement of your final restoration. You will have a chance to see the veneers in place before they are bonded. 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. With your approval of the cosmetics, we will bond the new veneers into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully restored smile.
