Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth. A relatively new advancement in cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers are shaped and colored to match adjacent teeth, providing a smile that is seamless and natural looking; while improving minor imperfections. Porcelain veneers are also stain resistant, providing you with a lasting bright, radiant smile.

Common Problems Fixed by Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are a quick and easy way to improve the quality of your smile. Most commonly they are used to cover teeth that are:

• Broken or chipped
• Discolored due to natural and lifestyle factors
• Misaligned or crooked
• Oddly spaced or gapped
• Unevenly sized

Process for Porcelain Veneers

The process for porcelain veneers is short, painless, and noninvasive. The entire procedure takes place over two office visits, placed a few weeks apart. During the first visit an impression will be taken of your teeth in order to ensure proper sizing. This impression is sent to the laboratory where your veneers will be made.

Two weeks later, your new porcelain veneers will be ready, and on your next office visit they will be affixed to your teeth. Just two short weeks and your smile will be more beautiful than you ever imagined. Better yet, with proper care, the results can last for a lifetime.
