What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers, also known as laminates or dental porcelain laminates, are thin, custom-made covers that are attached to the front surface of your teeth to improve and restore their natural look. The procedure involves bonding these shells to the front of your teeth to effectively change their color, shape, size, or length.
Advantages of this type of cosmetic dental procedure include:
- Solving aesthetic issues such as crooked teeth, gaps between the teeth, wear and tear, worn enamel, stains, crowded teeth, and more
- Strengthening naturally weak teeth
- Lasting longer than bleaching or bonding
- Providing a natural look that won’t discolor over time
- Attaching during a quick procedure to give you a brighter smile fast
The Veneer Process
Porcelain veneers can be attained with just two to three visits to our office. The process includes an initial consultation to determine if you are an eligible candidate, the preparation of your teeth, and the bonding of the veneers to your teeth. During your first visit, we will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and discuss what the procedure will involve, including its limitations. If you are a good candidate, we can then proceed in completing your smile make-over during your next visit.
The preparation and bonding of veneers includes:
- About half a millimeter, the thickness of a fingernail, is shaved from the front of your tooth
- A beautifully sculpted and colored laminate is tightly placed over and bonded to the tooth
- The color and shape can be controlled by the laboratory, under the direction of your dentist, to give you a truly beautiful smile
The results of porcelain veneers are immediate, dramatic, and lasts for a very long time. They are a simple and strong solution to teeth imperfection and even eliminate the need for braces.
