Dental Veneers
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers, often alternatively termed
dental veneers or dental porcelain
laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the
front side of teeth to make a cosmetic improvement in their appearance.
Porcelain veneers are routinely used to idealize teeth that are discolored,
worn, chipped, or misaligned. You might think of them as being like a false fingernail.
 What are the advantages of porcelain veneers over other types of cosmetic
dental bonding?
Two of the greatest advantages of porcelain veneers over other types of cosmetic
dental bonding are:
- Porcelain veneers create a very life-like tooth appearance
- Porcelain veneers resist staining
To get started, make an appointment with us!
Before we can begin the process of making your porcelain veneers we must first
evaluate and document the present condition of your teeth. As a part of this
examination we may need to
take x-rays as well as photographs. We may also need to take dental impressions
(dental molds).
During the examination appointment you will need to convey to
us the types of changes you are interested in obtaining. We
in turn will help you understand to what extent the changes you desire are
possible.
