Dental veneers are used to fill gaps between teeth, cover up stains, and cover teeth that may be chipped, uneven, misaligned, or oddly shaped. Dental veneers are made from porcelain or resin composite material that will match the color of your teeth. Porcelain veneers usually resist stains better than resin composite, and reflect light like natural teeth.
Before placing porcelain veneers, teeth are usually prepped. To do this, our dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from your teeth. The porcelain veneers will then be attached to this rough tooth surface. Unfortunately, there are dentists out there who may remove too much of the tooth during the prepping. This can lead to tooth sensitivity and future dental problems. Our dentist always removes the smallest amount of tooth enamel necessary for porcelain veneers. If your teeth are not suitable for porcelain veneers, our dentist will let you know instead of going ahead with the veneers and risking your dental health.
Our office also provides high-tech imaging so you can see exactly what you will be getting before the procedure ever begins. You will not get any surprises because we give you a preview of your future smile with porcelain veneers. We want your smile to be picture perfect.
Our dentist will provide you with temporary veneers to wear while your permanent veneers are being crafted. You can try out your new smile and get used to the feeling of porcelain veneers.
