A veneer improves the appearance of a tooth by covering the visible surface with a layer of porcelain that can be as thin as 0.3mm. They are also referred to as ‘’instant orthodontics’’ because you will enjoy a new smile in a much shorter period of time than traditional braces. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.
Indications for veneers are:
- Discolored teeth
- Worn, broken teeth
- Misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped
- To fill the spaces between teeth
After a thorough comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and surrounding tissues, your dentist will discuss options with you. As conservative dentists, we work hard to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible and use minimal tooth prepping techniques. We also offer the Lumineers technology, which allows to transform your smile without anesthesia, without prepping your teeth, and in only two visits.
Not sure about the procedure? How about a cosmetic 3D simulation of your new smile? ‘’Digital smile design’’ allows us to do just that, with the help of some pictures and impressions of your mouth.
