Veneers continue to be one of the most accepted smile enhancement techniques in dentistry today. Veneers are thin pieces of durable shaped porcelain that are custom made to fit your tooth by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile. Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.

Reasons for porcelain veneers:

• To create a natural beautiful smile.
• Crooked teeth.
• Misshapen teeth.
• Severely discolored or stained teeth.
• Teeth that are too small or large.
• To close spaces between teeth.
• Worn or chipped teeth.

The technique usually involves two appointments because the veneers will be fabricated at a dental laboratory. At the first appointment the teeth are prepared, impressions taken, and the teeth are given a temporary covering. In two to three weeks the veneers are back from the laboratory, the temporaries are removed and the veneers are bonded to the teeth. The laboratory fabricated veneers are usually made using porcelain or pressed ceramic, and are very esthetic. Call now to see if you are a good candidate for veneers.
