Cosmetic Dentistry/Veneers

Dental veneers are thin coverings made of strong, long-lasting ceramic and fitted snugly over the front surfaces of your teeth.
The veneer covers discolored or misaligned (crooked) teeth, giving you a beautiful smile. The procedure is simple and
comfortable. It takes place in just a couple of office visits.

People choose veneers when their front teeth are discolored or gray, and bleaching will not help. Veneers are also used on

chipped teeth or teeth that are out of alignment (noticeable gaps or uneven spacing between teeth).

The Process
The procedure involves the removal of a very small amount of the tooth’s enamel. This allows room for the veneer without it
looking or feeling bulky. The thin veneer shell is applied over the front surface of the tooth.

Your dentist will make an impression of your teeth so that a custom veneer shell can be made. The dentist can then replicate
the teeth to be veneered as well as the surrounding teeth. The veneer will match in size and color to the surrounding teeth.
This impression is sent to a laboratory for a precise fit. This can take several days.

Your dentist places the custom veneer for fit and shape and may make necessary adjustments. Further adjustments ensure a high-quality, long-lasting procedure.
