Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are thin custom-made layers of porcelain or composite resin material that are bonded to the tooth surface to change the appearance of a tooth. Veneers are permanent—the procedure is irreversible. Dental veneers treat a variety of dental problems, including discoloration, chipping, misalignment, worn-down teeth and gaps between teeth.

Our conveniently located dental offices are designed to be friendly and welcoming to everybody who needs this cosmetic dental procedure, and more.

Treatment Procedure for Veneers
Depending on your highly unique needs, you may have to make two or three visits to our dental offices to get your dental veneers. The treatment procedure begins with a thorough diagnosis and treatment planning phase. The initial stage of treatment planning involves a careful examination of your teeth, which may include dental x-rays. Afterward, our dentist prepares your teeth by removing some enamel to make room for the veneers. Then the dentist takes a mold or impression of your teeth. This impression is sent to the dental lab where the veneers are made.
After two to four weeks, your custom veneers will be ready for application. During this waiting period, the dentist may issue you with temporary veneers, especially if your teeth are particularly unsightly.
Veneers are permanently bonded to your tooth surface using dental cement. Our dentist will ensure that the veneers are a good match in terms of color, size, and shape before proceeding with the bonding process.
After bonding, you’re free to go home with your brand new smile. Our dentist will advise you on when to come in for follow up appointments. These visits are crucial in determining whether you’re adjusting correctly to the cosmetic procedure.
Advantages of Veneers
Veneer treatment is advantageous in several ways, including:
- Porcelain veneers are friendly to your gum tissue. You don’t have to worry about sensitivity or allergies after treatment.
- Porcelain veneers resist stains well.
- Unlike dental crowns, veneers don’t require extensive removal of tooth enamel.
- Veneers resemble your natural tooth color and are a conservative and discreet yet effective way of altering your smile.
