Porcelain Veneers

Dental Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to improve their shape, color, and overall appearance, offering a durable and natural-looking solution for cosmetic issues like discoloration, chips, gaps, or misshapen teeth.

As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.

Reasons for porcelain veneers:

• Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile.

• Crooked teeth.

• Misshapen teeth.

• Severely discolored or stained teeth.

• Teeth that are too small or large.

• Unwanted or uneven spaces.

• Worn or chipped teeth.

What does getting porcelain veneers involve?

Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.

On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.
