Porcelain veneers are a minimally invasive way to help restore a smile from slight chips, cracks, and discoloration. If you have ever felt self-conscious about your smile, this may be the right solution. A consultation is the best way to determine how many teeth will need a veneer in order to achieve the look you want. Sometimes one is possible, but oftentimes more are necessary to get a more symmetrical smile. We can create a wax-up which is a model to show you exactly what they will look like.
Once you are ready to move forward, a small amount of enamel is removed, and a digital scan is taken which the lab will use to fabricate the veneers. You will go home with temporary veneers and visit the lab to choose the right shade. Once they arrive they are cemented on, creating a beautiful, natural smile.
For long term results, it’s important to also keep gums healthy by flossing and brushing daily. Remember, you should never use your teeth as tools to open packages or bite nails as this can cause them to chip and break.
