Veneers

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front and top surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. With veneers as an alternative, there is no reason to live with gaps between your teeth, teeth that are stained, badly shaped, or crooked. A veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct these maladies simply and quickly, and help you achieve a beautiful smile!

Will They Look Like Normal Teeth?

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options. Because they are thin, veneers take on the natural color of the underlying tooth, and light can shine through them.

Preparation

The second appointment will take one to two hours. Although the porcelain veneer is very thin, the teeth are lightly buffed to allow for the added thickness. Approximately one-half of a millimeter of tooth is removed. This may require little or no local anesthesia.

Then Next, a digital scan is taken of the teeth and sent to the lab for fabrication. In some cases, temporary veneers will be placed at this time. The permanent veneers should be ready in approximately three weeks.
