Porcelain veneers are extremely thin
casings of ceramic that are bonded to the
front of the patients’ tooth to create a new
smile.
Porcelain veneers are placed over the front of
teeth that appear too small or large, slightly
discolored, or simply are not cosmetically
pleasing to the patient. For many patients,
teeth may have chipped, become discolored, or
are slightly crooked. For the majority of these
patients, porcelain veneers can prove to be the
perfect solution.
When placing porcelain veneers, we pay close
attention to the patients surrounding teeth and
design each veneer to complement the overall
smile. The result is a beautiful, attractive new
smile.
If cared for properly, your veneers will last you a
long time. We ensure that your new veneers
are constructed of the most durable porcelain
materials available.
Procedure
The procedure begins with the preparation of
the tooth. This entails removing the discolored
or unsightly portion of the tooth and
meticulously shaping the tooth in preparation
for the new veneer. Once we have shaped the
tooth, we will take an impression. This
impression will be sent to our lab where your
new restoration will be crafted. While the new
veneers are created, we will provide you with a
temporary restoration. Our temporary
restorations will resemble your natural teeth so
that you can continue with your daily life without
worrying about a missing or incompatible tooth.
During your second visit to the office, we will
proceed with the placement of your final
restoration. The veneers will be fitted
comfortably into the mouth. We will make every
effort to ensure that the new tooth feels exactly
like one of your natural teeth. The final step in
the process will be to bond the new veneers
into your mouth, leaving you with a beautifully
restored smile.
