Veneers are designed to help your smile look its best. Veneers are shaped and custom-made in a dental laboratory. When bonded to your teeth, they can make your smile beautiful and flawless. Veneers can enhance your smile by:

• Cosmetically perfecting your smile
• Correcting crooked teeth
• Fixing misshapen teeth
• Correcting severe discolorations/stains on teeth
• Correcting teeth that are too small or too large
• Fixing unwanted/uneven spaces between teeth
• Repairing chipped or worn teeth

Veneers are very durable and generally last many years, providing you with a new and beautiful smile.

Procedure

The procedure takes place over the course of two visits to the office. In the first visit, your teeth will be prepared to receive the veneers. They are lightly buffed and the surface is shaped to prepare for bonding and the additional thickness provided by the veneers. Molds (impressions) will also be taken to provide the custom fitting of the veneers to your teeth. The correct shade to match surrounding teeth will then be chosen by your dentist.

In the second visit, the veneers will be bonded to your teeth. It is important, after the procedure, to follow recommended care instructions given by your dentist. Maintaining proper dental hygiene (brushing, flossing, etc.) will support the life of your veneers.
