Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells made of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of your teeth to improve your appearance. Generally, they are made of porcelain or resin composite materials. Veneers are used to treat a variety of dental conditions, including:
Dental veneers can improve the appearance of a tooth. Veneers are a natural-looking covering for the front surface of a tooth that is stained, chipped, uneven, misshapen, unevenly spaced, oddly shaped, or crooked. They can also be used to whiten teeth that are naturally yellowed or discolored from staining.
Dental veneers are custom-made shells that fit over your teeth, correcting a wide range of cosmetic flaws. They can correct tooth discolorations, chips, cracks, gaps, and misalignments. Veneers are also used to cover stains from tetracycline or other drugs used in orthodontic treatments.
Many patients choose porcelain veneers because they mimic the light-reflecting properties of their natural teeth. Porcelain is stain-resistant and durable, while composite resin can be matched to the color of your teeth. Both materials are designed to last for many years with proper care. The experts at our dental practice can help you determine which option is best for you!
Veneers are a conservative treatment option since they don’t require the alteration of your tooth structure like bonding does.
A dental veneer is a thin shell of ceramic or porcelain that is bonded to the front side of a tooth to improve its appearance. Dental veneers are stain-resistant, and they look natural. Because they are applied only to the front of the teeth, they are usually a great option for people with healthy teeth and gums who want to make slight changes to their smile.
Getting dental veneers usually requires just two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, your cosmetic dentist will make a mold of your teeth and take an impression. That impression will be sent to a laboratory where your veneers are made and sent back to your dentist’s office. Once the veneers are available, you’ll return to the dentist’s office and have each veneer placed individually onto your tooth by your dentist.
