Dental Porcelain Veneers

Dental porcelain veneers are thin wafers of tooth-like material that when applied to the surface of the natural tooth, corrects the appearance of worn tooth enamel and uneven tooth alignment or spacing, and covers cracked and chipped teeth.

The result is a bright beautiful smile with even, white, shiny and natural looking teeth. Recent innovations and advances in dental materials and dental technologies have made porcelain veneers more natural looking than those available in the past.

Common Dental Problems Porcelain Veneers Can Correct

Porcelain veneers are implemented to solve various cosmetic dental problems and are suited to almost everyone that is concerned with the problems of:

•Worn tooth enamel
•Wear and tear due to aging
•Genetic anomalies
•Uneven teeth
•Chipped or cracked teeth

The Dental Porcelain Veneer Procedure

The placement of dental porcelain veneers requires great skill and artistry and is typically performed in three phases.

The first step in the porcelain veneer procedure is diagnosis and treatment planning. After a thorough examination, your cosmetic dentist will devise a treatment plan suited to your unique individual needs. A dental mold will be prepared and sent to the laboratory where your custom porcelain veneers will be produced. Your porcelain veneers will then be permanently placed during your bonding appointment by your cosmetic dentist in a perfect blend of expertise and artistry.

Care and Treatment of Your Porcelain Veneers

Your porcelain veneers are resistant to staining from coffee, tea, wine and tobacco and should last from ten to fifty years depending on your lifestyle and personal care and treatment. Your porcelain veneers must be regularly brushed, flossed and treated as you would your natural teeth. Routine regular oral examinations and professional tooth cleaning will extend the life of your porcelain veneers.
