Veneers are a fantastic way to fix front teeth. You can whiten your teeth, close spaces, and create a great smile. We can even do virtually instant orthodontics to straighten crooked teeth.
These are some problems that can be corrected with porcelain venners :
- Spaces between the teeth (diastemas) .
- Broken or chipped teeth .
- Unsightly, stained or washed out fillings .
- Permanently stained or discolored teeth .
- Mis-shapen or crooked teeth .
- Whiten dark yellow or stained teeth .
- Rough or jagged edges on front teeth .
Veneers are very thin and are bonded on the front of your anterior teeth. These veneers are about 0.3mm to 0.5mm in thickness but are very strong once bonded to your teeth. They have a "life like" appearance with the strength, beauty, and durability only porcelain restorations can afford.
Veneers have several advantages over crowns (caps). There is no "dark line" that is sometimes seen with older front caps. They transmit light better and, therefore, have a more translucent appearance giving a natural, esthetic look. Veneers do not require the massive grinding of tooth structure that caps do, yet, they accomplish a lifelike esthetic result.
How's it done? After a through discussion with your dentist, your first appointment usually involves some minor contouring of the front teeth and taking an impression of the teeth. At the next appointment The veneers are tried in, and, if perfect, they are bonded in place. Each porcelain laminate is a work of art, carefully crafted in a laboratory to fit your individual smile.
A follow up visit is made in a week. The results are instant and spectacular!
