What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain that are permanently bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. These sophisticated dental restorations can transform the shape, color, size, and length of teeth – which creates a naturally beautiful smile. Each veneer is meticulously designed to match each unique patient’s surrounding teeth. The outcome is a smile worth showing off!
How do veneers work?
Porcelain veneers transform smiles through a precise, multi-step treatment process. The treatment begins with a thorough consultation and smile design phase, where our doctors assess the patient’s goals and current tooth structure. A very small amount of enamel is then carefully removed from the front surface of the teeth to make room for the veneers. Detailed impressions are taken and sent to a specialized dental laboratory where master ceramists craft each custom veneer to exact specifications. While the permanent veneers are being created, patients often wear temporary veneers. Once the custom veneers are ready, they are permanently bonded to the prepared teeth using special dental adhesives.
