Perhaps your smile isn’t as bright as you’d like it to be. Or, maybe your teeth are a bit uneven in length, or they’re not spaced equally. You may have one or more chipped teeth as well that make you feel self-conscious.
We can transform your smile into a stunning one with veneers, which completely cover imperfections and stains. Veneers are ultrathin new tooth surfaces that are custom made to fit your teeth and address particular tooth flaws. Made from stain-resistant porcelain, they are bonded directly to the tooth surface to whiten or align teeth.
Custom-Tailored to Your Smile
Our veneers are individually tailored to meet your smile needs. One of the most significant benefits of these veneers is that layers of porcelain are used to give the veneer a luminousness and vibrancy that cannot be matched by a machine. Together, we will choose the right shade for your new smile. You can select to have gleaming white veneers or ones with a more natural appearance.
What Does the Process Involve?
Before the placement of dental veneers, we will prep the teeth that will be fitted with the custom-made “shells.” Usually, this requires removing some of the outer layer of tooth enamel, but rest assured – we always plan to minimize this removal. Next, we will shape the tooth so that the veneer, which is about as thick as a fingernail, can be applied to the tooth surface and not protrude.
Impressions of your teeth will be taken. The impressions are used to prepare a mold from which the veneers will be fabricated. The molds are sent to a lab where the veneers will be crafted by skilled dental ceramist/technician. At your next visit, we will clean your teeth and apply the veneers with a strong adhesive that bonds them in place.
