Porcelain veneers are a popular cosmetic dentistry option for addressing tooth damage and enhancing the appearance of your smile. They offer patients durable, lasting, and natural-looking results that boost smile confidence.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells placed on the front of the teeth. They are made of a highly durable ceramic material that is lasting and stain-resistant. Porcelain veneers can be used to improve the color, shape, and size of teeth to address cosmetic concerns and damage. They are completely customized to your smile for a seamless result.
How Are Porcelain Veneers Applied?
-
Consultation: The process begins with a consultation, during which our dental care team assesses your teeth and discusses your goals to determine if veneers are right for you. A minimally invasive treatment, the procedure requires minimal alteration of the natural tooth structure compared to crowns or other restorative options. The process can often be completed in just a few office visits, providing relatively quick results.
-
Tooth Preparation: A small amount of enamel is usually removed from the front of the tooth to allow the veneer to fit properly. This step is minimally invasive.
-
Impressions: Our team takes impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab to create custom veneers that match your desired color and shape.
-
Temporary Veneers: You may receive temporary veneers to wear while your custom ones are being made.
-
Bonding: Once your veneers are ready, we will carefully bond them to your teeth using a special adhesive and a curing light to ensure a strong attachment.
-
Final Adjustments: Your dentist will make any necessary so that your new veneers fit comfortably and are stable.
