Veneers

THE GOAL OF ESTHETIC DENTISTRY

 

The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to turn a dull smile ...

                                            ...into a dazzling one. 

 

We have several options to restore teeth that—

 
  • are crooked.
  • are chipped.
  • are stained or discolored.
  • have a gap
  • have uneven gums.    
 

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?

Before we begin any treatment, we talk with you about your personal goals for your smile and perform a thorough exam to check your oral health. Close-up photographs will be taken and shown on a computer screen so that, together, we can talk about what it is exactly that you want to improve with your smile. It is important that we maintain good function in addition to enhancing beauty.
 
In planning your treatment, we will discuss what treatment options will best achieve the goals you have for your smile. These may include one or a combination of:
 
  • Invisalign “invisible” braces
  • Porcelain veneers
  • Porcelain crowns
  • Bonding
  • Implants
  • Zoom whitening

Cosmetic dentistry can help enhance your confidence, improve the health of your teeth, and often, give you a more youthful smile. No age is to old to have a more pleasing smile. If you have unattractive teeth, we can design a plan to help you get the smile you have always wanted. 

PORCELAIN VENEERS 

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. They have a translucent quality that resembles your natural teeth. Porcelain veneers are a great alternative to improve the appearance of your smile.

 

BEFORE

AFTER

Common problems that veneers are used for:

  • Spaces between the teeth
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Unsightly, stained or discolored teeth
  • Permanently stained or discolored teeth
  • Crooked or misshapen teeth

In many cases, they may even help you to avoid orthodontic treatment by correcting spaces between teeth or making crooked teeth look straighter.  

PROCEDURE

Placing porcelain veneer usually takes two or more appointments. At the first appointment, we usually remove a very minimal amount of tooth structure that is equal to the thickness of the veneers. This amount may vary depending on the patient’s esthetic goals.
 
Next, we take an impression of your teeth. This impression is used by the lab to create your custom veneers. We then place temporary veneers on your teeth while your veneers area being made.
 
On your next visit, we remove the temporary veneers and place the permanent veneers. You are then given a chance to see how the veneers can transform your smile. Once you are satisfied with the appearance of the veneers, we then permanently bond them to your teeth.
 
Veneers are a great way to transform your smile in just a couple of visits. Taking good care of your veneers will give you a beautiful smile for many years.
