PORCELAIN VENEERS

Veneers are thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of the teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can be alternatives to crowns, and they are often the ideal solution for treating many dental conditions.

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 a porcelain veneer:

• Create a uniform, white, beautiful smile that is cosmetically correct.
• Crooked teeth.
• Misshapen teeth.
• Teeth that are severely discolored or stained.
• Teeth that are too small or large.
• Unwanted or uneven spaces between teeth.

WHAT DOES GETTING PORCELAIN
VENEERS INVOLVE?

Getting veneers usually requires two visits to the dentist to complete the process. Little to no anesthesia is 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 you and the dentist will then choose a shade (color).

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

You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will keep your new veneers in excellent condition.
