Porcelain veneers may be used to treat conditions including:

• Broken or chipped teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Discolored or stained teeth
• Short teeth
• Spaced teeth

Although porcelain veneers can be used to treat a wide array of aesthetic issues as well as preserve the functionality of your teeth, they are not for everyone. An examination with an experienced cosmetic dentist will determine whether you have the healthy dental foundation necessary to support porcelain veneers and that porcelain veneers are the best treatment option for your individual condition.

Porcelain veneers are generally not recommended for patients whose teeth have structural damage.

Porcelain veneers offer a numerous advantages over other restorative dental treatments such as dental bonding with composite resin. Crafted of strong, dental-grade porcelain, porcelain veneers are:

• Compatible with other cosmetic dentistry treatments such as teeth whitening
• Easy to clean
• Long lasting with good dental hygiene
• Stain resistant
• Tinted to seamlessly match your natural teeth

Each of your porcelain veneers is custom made to fit your individual smile and complement your surrounding natural teeth. The placement of your porcelain veneers requires two painless and relatively brief office visits.

The first appointment will focus on preparing your teeth for porcelain veneers and requires removing a thin layer of tooth enamel to compensate for the thickness of your porcelain veneers. Next, your cosmetic dentist will take impressions of your teeth, which will serve as the basis for creating your custom veneers.

As you await your permanent porcelain veneers, you will wear temporary veneers. These veneers are typically made of dental bonding and provide functionality and protection until your permanent veneers are placed.

One your second visit, your temporary veneers will be removed and your porcelain veneers will be placed and evaluated for proper fit and tone. Your cosmetic dentist can make final adjustments to the porcelain veneers to ensure they fit uniformly with your smile as well as tint the color of your veneers to match your existing teeth.
