Porcelain Veneers
Do you dream of a brighter, straighter, shapelier smile but lack the time to spend achieving it? In the not-so-distant past, patients underwent extreme measures to perfect their smiles. Advances in dental science and improvements in materials have revolutionized cosmetic dentistry. Now, we can artistically design an entirely new smile, conservatively reshape teeth, and dramatically improve your appearance all in just two visits with porcelain veneers (also called instant orthodontics).
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin porcelain casings that are bonded to tooth surfaces. They’re created in a dental laboratory from ultra-thin layers of dental porcelain. Unlike traditional dental materials, porcelain preserves a smile’s illustrious glow by allowing light to penetrate the layers. The porcelain is sculpted to mimic the appearance of tooth enamel, and minor imperfections can even be ingrained within the porcelain to replicate nature’s design.
From start to finish, the entire porcelain veneer process typically takes just two or three visits. Your dentist will design the veneers based on your input, goals, and desires. He may recommend other cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, to enhance the final outcome. A thin layer of tooth enamel is removed, about the thickness of a fingernail, to make room for the veneers. Final veneer placement is done in a second appointment, and the transformative results are immediately apparent.
