VENEERS

Thin ceramic prosthetic units that bond directly to the front surfaces (enamel) of the teeth. They are an effective choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.

Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We install them routinely and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient’s smile.

Will they look like normal teeth?

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

How durable are they?

With proper care, they will brighten and enhance your smile. Our doctor will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest-quality porcelain and are bonded with the most advanced materials available.

Refraining from using your veneers to bite into hard foods and as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life. If accidental breakage or damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.

If you have any anterior (front teeth) work done, it is highly recommended to invest in a night guard to protect your work and ensure its longevity.

Porcelain veneers are a versatile solution for a range of cosmetic dental imperfections. They can mask teeth that are discolored or stained, cover small chips or cracks, and correct minor misalignments or uneven shapes. Veneers can also help close gaps between teeth and restore a uniform appearance, giving you a brighter, more harmonious smile without the need for extensive orthodontic treatment

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE VENEER PROCEDURE

The process of receiving porcelain veneers is straightforward and designed with your comfort in mind. At your initial visit, we’ll talk through your smile goals, evaluate the health of your teeth, and determine if veneers are the right option for you. If so, we’ll map out a personalized treatment plan to achieve your best results.

The actual procedure is typically completed in three steps:

• Preparation: A thin layer of enamel—often less than a millimeter—is gently removed from the front of your teeth. This creates the ideal surface to bond each veneer seamlessly.
• Impressions: We take precise molds of your prepared teeth. These impressions guide the fabrication of your custom veneers, ensuring a natural fit and appearance.
• Bonding: Once your veneers are ready, we carefully place and bond them to your teeth. Any adjustments are made for comfort and aesthetics, revealing your refreshed smile with minimal discomfort.

Most patients describe the experience as easy and relatively painless, with little to no need for anesthesia. You can typically return to your regular activities right after your appointment.
