Porcelain Veneers.

A veneer is a layer of material that is placed over the tooth and can be used as an alternative to a crown. A thin piece of tooth shaped porcelain is bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful, lasting smile. Veneers can be good for many years, but may need to be replaced at some point.

- Uniformity. If you are unhappy with the overall range of color in your teeth – a veneer can give you a beautiful, white smile. Whether the teeth are severely stained or discolored, a veneer can be an easy fix to teeth that can’t be whitened.
- Misshaped or Crooked Teeth. If your teeth are jagged and of varying sizes, you may consider a veneer to give you a clean smile. Whether your teeth are worn, chipped, crooked or different sizes, a veneer can help you to get the smile you are looking for.
- Teeth with Gaps. A veneer can be used to close the space between two teeth that have a large gap. If you are embarrassed about a large gap, a veneer can help to minimize that gap making it less noticeable and apparent.
This procedure will take two visits and is relatively painless. Your dentist will discuss if veneers are right for you and talk you through the procedure. On the first visit, x-rays and impressions will be taken of your mouth and teeth. Then, the dentist will polish and shape your teeth, to prepare for the veneer to be placed.
On the second visit, your teeth will be cleaned thoroughly so that the veneers are able to adhere properly to your teeth. To bond the veneer to your teeth, bonding cement is used to adhere them together and the cement sets by using an ultraviolet light.
After this procedure, you should visit your dentist for regular visits and practice daily brushing and flossing. If you are interested in learning more about veneers, call us today to set up an appointment (630) 426-7652.
