What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, shell-like layers of porcelain that are bonded to the surface of your teeth. Veneers correct chipped, stained, misaligned, badly worn, or uneven surfaces of the teeth. They can transform your smile to look aesthetically pleasing. They can be the ideal choice for some anterior dental restorations.

Why choose veneers?

Not only are veneers great for anterior dental restorations, but they also function as a brilliant cosmetic option to enhance the appearance of your smile. As a dental cosmetic option, veneers help straighten the smile and remove signs of fracture, chips, or cracks, and can change the color of your smile.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers often are the best type of restorations that help correct issues of shape, discoloration, and are incredibly durable. The best part about them is that they mimic the appearance of the teeth perfectly, making them almost indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

What is the procedure involved in getting dental veneers?

The procedure typically starts with records, photographs, and impressions. With this information, we make a diagnostic wax-up, which is a simulation of what we anticipate can be done to improve your smile. The smallest amount of the tooth’s surface will be removed to achieve the desired aesthetics and durability. The impression of your tooth will be sent to the dental laboratory. Once ready, the veneer will be cemented onto the tooth.

It is essential to practice good oral hygiene at home and make regular visits to the dentist’s office and ensure that your veneers are in good shape.
