Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain facings attached to the front of your teeth to enhance and improve their appearance, color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or teeth that are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked.
Little or no anesthesia is needed. Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than composite, plastic bonding, and highly resist permanent staining from coffee, tea wine, or any other potentially staining compounds.
Teeth that are badly stained may be improved by a veneer placed on the surface of the affected teeth.
There are usually two appointments needed to complete a crown restoration of the tooth.
During the tooth preparation visit, usually lasting one to two hours, a mold is taken of the teeth and sent to the laboratory for the fabrication of the veneers.
Veneers are usually made by a dental lab technician working from a model provided by your dentist.
Digital color mapping techniques are used to ensure the best predictable and esthetic outcome.
Similar to veneers, porcelain crowns are naturally looking full coverage of a tooth that has had decay, fracture, old/broken fillings and in need of restoring the function and appearance of the tooth. They are completely made of white porcelain to ensure perfect fit and appearance.
