What are veneers?

Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry option that has the power to transform your smile. Veneers cover the front, visible surfaces of your front teeth. Most people have veneers placed only on the teeth seen by others when speaking or smiling. 

Veneers are crafted from high-quality porcelain. This material creates a beautiful, slightly translucent finish, similar to your natural tooth tissue. Veneers are wafer-thin and crafted to fit the specific contouring of your natural teeth. 

Just as no two smiles are ever exactly alike, your veneers are also unique. Once you complete your treatment, you have a natural-looking smile. 

What cosmetic issues can veneers correct?

Dental veneers are a very versatile cosmetic treatment. Some of the issues custom dental veneers might correct include:

• Discoloration not improved with teeth whitening
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Misshapen teeth
• Abnormally sized teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Minor misalignment

In short, a great set of veneers creates an attractive and healthy smile. That’s why so many celebrities and public figures choose dental veneers early in their careers. 

What can I expect when getting veneers?

The planning process includes digital imaging and a thorough oral exam. Your dentist sits down with you and discusses what you hope to achieve with your cosmetic treatment. Having a clear understanding of what to expect significantly increases your chances of feeling satisfied with your results. 

On the day of your procedure, an injection of local anesthetic eliminates all sensations in the treatment area. If you’re nervous about dental procedures, your dentist offers several sedation options to help you relax. 

Your dentist begins by removing a small portion of your tooth enamel to make room for the new veneers. A set of impressions gathers information about the exact shape, size, and alignment of your teeth. The dental lab uses this data to craft your custom veneers. 

Temporary veneers protect your teeth until the new porcelain versions arrive. You then return to allow your dentist to check them for fit and appearance before cementing them into place. Your new smile is then ready to share.
