Veneers

What Are Veneers?

You may already know that a veneer is a thin covering over another surface. In dentistry, a veneer is a wafer-thin layer of strong porcelain that convincingly substitutes for natural tooth enamel. When bonded to your teeth, veneers can create a natural-looking, beautiful new surface. That’s because dental porcelain, like natural tooth enamel, is translucent and tough. But it doesn’t stain like tooth enamel does
What makes a smile beautiful? That’s a complex question, but some qualities of a lovely smile are immediately identifiable: good tooth color, shape and alignment are a few of the most important ones. If your teeth could use improvement in any of these categories, porcelain veneers could be just what you’re looking for.

What are Veneers Used For?

Veneers can serve multiple purposes, including:

  • Restores the appearance of teeth that may have small chips.
  • Can cover undesirable gaps in-between teeth.
  • Can serve as an alternative to regular teeth whitening.
  • Gives the appearance of correctly aligned teeth.

Veneer Process

On your first visit, we will initially remove a small amount of your tooth enamel to ensure your veneers will fit snugly. Then, we will make an impression of your teeth to send to a dental laboratory so they can create a custom set of veneers for you. We may provide you with temporary veneers, depending on your dental needs. During your secondary visit, we will then check the fitting of the veneers. If they fit over your natural teeth comfortably and well, we will clean your teeth and add a cement adhesive to the veneers to permanently attach them over the teeth.
