Veneers are thin handcrafted porcelain shields worn on the front of the tooth which improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained or worn. Veneers are thin as contact lenses, and are an aesthetically pleasing option of closing gaps, lengthening teeth, and providing symmetry to make your smile more natural. Veneers are intended to last for many years without changing color. They are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry. Ask your dentist if veneers may be right for you.
How can porcelain veneers benefit your smile?
Porcelain veneers are paper-thin coverings made of customized porcelain. They are bonded to your teeth to enhance their shape, size, and color. Each veneer is handcrafted to match the exact specifications of your tooth for a personalized transformation.
Dental veneers do a lot of “heavy lifting” in cosmetic dental care. Porcelain veneers can help correct a variety of dental flaws, including:
- Chipped, worn-down, or cracked teeth
- Discolored or stubbornly stained teeth
- Unsightly spacing between teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth
- Oddly shaped or sized teeth
Everyone seeking to enhance their smile desires stunning yet natural-looking results. Porcelain veneers are popular because they offer the best of both worlds: They disguise your dental flaws and help you achieve a smile that looks and works like natural teeth.
What should I expect from dental veneer treatment?
It only takes two easy dental appointments to enhance your smile with porcelain veneers. Your first visit is a conversation to understand your concerns and expectations. We actively involve you throughout the process to ensure we design a smile you’ll be proud of. Your input is invaluable. We want you to feel empowered and in control of your dental journey. After all, it’s your smile—we want you to be in the driver’s seat.
Our dental team uses advanced imaging tools—intraoral cameras and CBCT scans—to analyze your smile and plan your treatment, including the color, number, and position of the veneers. Once we have a solid treatment plan, we’ll prepare your teeth by grinding down the enamel mildly. This step creates space to accommodate your veneer’s thickness, ensuring your restoration sits flush with the rest of the teeth.
Then, we’ll take digital scans of your smile to create a reference for our master ceramist. Our partner dental lab will fabricate your veneers to match the exact specifications of your teeth for an authentic look. Since this intricate procedure takes a few days, we’ll protect your prepped teeth with interim crowns.
You’ll come to our office for placement when we receive your aligners. We’ll remove your temporaries and check the fit and appearance of your new veneers. Before bonding them with dental cement, we may make minor veneer adjustments for a perfect fit. And just like that, you can show the entire world a brand-new smile.
