Improving Your Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry
Our dental office offers many different cosmetic treatment options, but porcelain veneers are commonly used to cover or conceal the following dental concerns:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or damaged teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Crooked teeth
The Porcelain Veneers Procedure: What to Expect
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front sides of your teeth. Here’s what you can expect from the procedure:
- Consultation — First, we will examine your teeth and gums to determine whether veneers suit you and can help you meet your smile goals.
- Tooth preparation — The next step involves removing a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for the veneers.
- Shade selection — We’ll help you choose the best shade for your veneers, matching them to your natural tooth color.
- Impressions — Then, we will take impressions of your mouth and send them to the dental lab, where your veneers will be made. In the meantime, we’ll place temporary veneers on your teeth.
- Bonding — Once your veneers are back from the dental lab, we will bond them to your teeth, checking the fit to ensure they look and feel natural.
That’s it! In two visits to our dental office, you’ll enjoy a natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing smile.
