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.
