Porcelain Veneers

What is a Veneer? 

Veneers are an artificial covering for the front of your tooth.   They can be made of porcelain, composite, or acrylic.  Through years of experience it has become evident that Porcelain veneers are the esthetic choice.

How long does it Take?

It takes two appointments to give you a new smile with Porcelain  Veneers. The first appointment consists of several steps:

Ø      1. Your teeth are shaped with a dental hand piece.          

Although we try to cut little of the natural tooth ,  your teeth are cut and shaped to accept your new veneers.

Ø       2.  Once your teeth are shaped we take an impression of your teeth to make a working model for the dental lab. This model serves as a blue print for designing your new smile.  In about two weeks after your first appointment, the dental lab will send your new porcelain veneers to the office.

After inspection of the veneers on the model, the new teeth are fused to your natural tooth with a special bonding agent and light.

After fusing your veneers, your new teeth are cleaned, polished and your are ready to start smiling.
