Porcelain Veneers
For the Smile of your Dreams
Many people desire a brighter, whiter, more attractive and younger looking smile. Chipped, stained, unevenly spaced or crooked teeth are not candidates for simple bleaching. Neither are old crowns, Tetracycline Stains or discolored composite restorations. Porcelain veneers can solve all of these problems and create the smile of your dream.
If this sounds like you, we will be happy to evaluate your specific situation, listen to your goals and show examples of the end result before any treatment is performed. The actual treatment usually involves only two main visits. There is usually a mid-treatment check to evaluate the temporaries, make any changes, and finalize parameters for the final restorations. Multiple photographs are taken to transmit additional information to the ceramist.
These exact specifications are then used by one of the finest ceramists in the country to create your unique smile. Once approved by you, the restorations are bonded to your teeth with a laser to insure long-term retention. Veneers do not stain and normally will last from ten to fifteen years or more. They come in various shades that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color. There is usually a follow up visit for any final adjustments or polishing. If you grind your teeth at night, a guard will be constructed to protect the veneers and your remaining natural teeth from further wear. Beyond this there is no additional maintenance, other than your normal dental visits and proper brushing and flossing on a daily basis.
