Veneers

This cosmetic option is a thin porcelain laminate that is placed over the top of a slightly modified tooth. The porcelain laminate is created to change an unwanted smile line with imperfections such as: gaps, discoloration, crowding, and twisted and/or turned teeth. A consultation is done to discuss the patient’s desired look. Once a plan is in place impressions are taken and precise working models are made and sent to our lab. Our dental lab will fabricate a “wax-up”, a model of what your teeth will look like when the veneer is placed. This can done before any permanent modifications are done to the tooth. When the patient is satisfied with the color, shape and length then the lab will make a porcelain version that will be permanently placed. This will be done in two appointments one, to prepare the teeth and two, to place the permanent veneer. A two week period is between the appointments and temporary veneers will be worn. You won’t believe the magic that can be done with this technique.
