A porcelain veneer generally covers only the front and top of a tooth, to cover some imperfections.

Why should I get a porcelain veneer?

• Close spaces between teeth
• Lengthen small or misshapen teeth
• Whiten stained or dark teeth
• Fix crooked teeth

Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct nature’s mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile.

How do I get a veneer?
It takes two appointments to restore your teeth with veneers. On the first visit we shape and roughen the teeth with a handpiece. After having them ready and choosing the shade (color) that you want, we take impressions that are sent to the lab, from that, the lab will make precise models that are used to artistically craft veneers to exactly fit the prepared tooth, and match the shade of your teeth.

On the second appointment we clean and polish the prepared teeth, then we place an adhesive to bond the veneer to the teeth. A harmless high intensity light hardens the adhesive.

Once in place, veneers become part of the teeth. You can use them like you would your own teeth.

We recommend that you avoid some foods and beverages that may stain or discolor your veneers such as coffee, tea or red wine. Those beverages also stain your natural teeth. Sometimes a veneer might chip or fracture. But for many people the results are more than worth it.
