What are porcelain veneers (dental)?

"Magical" veneers, as we like to call them, are thin, semi-translucent laminates that are permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers are the most esthetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions including: diastemas (spaces between teeth), broken or chipped teeth, stained or discolored teeth or bonding that can’t be bleached and crooked or misaligned teeth. Even the temporaries give an instant new, alluring look.

How are porcelain veneers different from tooth bonding or crowns?

Tooth bonding is a resin filling material that can be used to cover the front surface of teeth when there are minor irregularities. It is not as color stable or durable as veneers that are necessary for extensive cosmetic alterations. Crowns, rather than bonding or porcelain veneers, may be needed when more tooth structure is missing.

How are porcelain veneers crafted an applied?

At the first appointment, the thickness of your natural teeth is reduced to prepare for the veneers. An impression of the prepared teeth is made and sent to a laboratory where each porcelain veneer is custom made. Temporaries are fabricated to simulate the new smile and worn for a period of time when the final veneers are being crafted. At the second appointment, the porcelain veneers are permanently adhered to your natural teeth.
