Veneers are a beautiful way to completely transform your smile. Made from ultra-thin, durable porcelain, veneers are custom crafted by a professional dental laboratory to match your ideal shape, size, and shade. They are carefully bonded to the front surface of your teeth to create a natural, radiant appearance.
In many cases, veneers are a more conservative alternative to crowns when only minimal tooth structure has been chipped, worn, or discolored.
Veneers can address a variety of cosmetic concerns, including:
Veneers are designed to look incredibly natural while enhancing the overall harmony of your smile.
Veneers are typically completed over three visits.
First Visit – Planning & Impressions
Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to our dental laboratory, where detailed wax models are created. These models help design the ideal shape and proportions of your future smile.
Second Visit – Preparation & Temporaries
You’ll review your custom models so you can see and approve the exact shape and size of your veneers. Once finalized, your teeth are gently prepared to allow room for the veneers. A final impression is taken, and together we select the perfect shade. Temporary veneers are placed for you to wear while your permanent restorations are being crafted.
Third Visit – Final Placement
Your custom porcelain veneers are carefully bonded to your prepared teeth. Once placed, they are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to stains from coffee, tea, and other common culprits.
Porcelain veneers are strong and long-lasting. To protect them:
If a veneer is ever damaged, it is often possible to replace just the affected veneer rather than the entire set.
Veneers are a wonderful option for patients looking to achieve a confident, natural-looking smile. If you’re considering enhancing your smile, we would love to discuss whether veneers are right for you.
