Porcelain veneers are the longest-lasting and most aesthetically-pleasing type of veneer. They are created in a lab to the exact specifications of the dentist and mimic the look of natural enamel, using multiple thin layers of porcelain. The size, color, shape, and fit are fully customized.
Veneers can be applied to one or several teeth for any of the following aesthetic reasons:
- Correct gaps between the teeth
- Correct uneven lengths
- Correct slightly misaligned teeth
- Correct discoloration
- Restore chipped teeth
- Correct teeth that are slightly crooked
- Change the size or shape
Veneers cover the front of the tooth surface and slightly wrap around the sides and biting edge of the tooth. In most cases, each tooth receiving a veneer will be carefully prepped prior to the veneer fabrication and placement. This preparation involves removing a thin (usually less than one millimeter) layer of enamel from the natural tooth in the areas that will be covered by the veneer. This allows the veneer to fit seamlessly with the contours of the natural tooth. The veneers are attached using a thin but strong bonding material. The material hardens when cured by a specialized light.
At our practice, our skilled cosmetic dentist specializes in creating beautiful, lasting smiles through advanced cosmetic dentistry solutions. If you struggle with broken or chipped teeth, misshapen teeth, tooth discoloration, or stains, veneers may be the ideal way to improve the appearance of your front teeth and restore confidence in your mouth. Each patient’s treatment plan is customized to achieve your desired results, using a thin shell of porcelain or composite resin carefully bonded to the front surfaces of treated teeth.
Before placing permanent veneers, we can fit temporary veneers to preview your new appearance and ensure a seamless match to the natural color of your other teeth. The procedure preserves healthy tooth structure while addressing dental problems like decay, discolored enamel, and minor damage. We also evaluate for gum disease or other concerns to confirm you’re a good candidate for veneers.
With proper care, including good oral hygiene, daily brushing, and regular checkups, your veneers can last for years. Our team uses advanced bonding techniques and ultraviolet light to secure each veneer for a strong, natural finish.
