Porcelain Veneers

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are wafer-thin and made from porcelain, a material that is both stain resistant and looks like your natural tooth. With veneers, you can change the color, size, and length of your teeth.

Why Should I Get Porcelain Veneers?

  • Last for Years – Well maintained veneers can last for years.
  • Resist Stains – Porcelain is a material that naturally resists stains and discoloration.
  • A Better Smile – If you have chips, cracks, or stains, porcelain veneers can help fix them. Porcelain veneers can also be used to remove gaps and change the length of your teeth.
  • No Special Maintenance – Veneers don’t usually require any special type of maintenance. Using good oral health practices, such as brushing and flossing, should be enough.
  • Low Irritant – The porcelain material is known to be well-tolerated by gum tissue, which can lead to less irritation.
  • What Do I Do Now?

  • The First Appointment – During your first appointment, we will perform an examination of your teeth and talk about veneers as a dental option. X-rays may be taken.
  • Preparation – It’s important to prepare teeth for veneer applications. This means removing about ½ millimeter of enamel from your tooth’s surface. We may recommend the use of a local anesthetic. The next step is to take an impression of your teeth, which will be sent to a laboratory for the manufacture of the veneer.
  • Bonding – Prior to bonding, we will need to verify the size and color, for a natural look, before the veneer is bonded to your tooth.
