Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers use thin shells of porcelain that
are bonded onto the front of your teeth to restore them to their original
luster. Porcelain veneers can mask the appearance of chipped or stained
teeth, while also straightening teeth that are slightly crooked or misaligned.
Porcelain veneers create a smooth, polished appearance
and can be color-matched to your other teeth. They will look natural
and feel natural. In addition, porcelain veneers will resist the staining
or discoloring or discoloring that is caused by the consumption of such
products as tobacco, tea, coffee, and red wine.

Diagnosis and treatment planning: It's critical
that you take an active role in the smile design. Spend time in the
decision-making and planning of your smile. Ask questions and understand
the corrective limitations of the procedure. If necessary, have more
than one consultation to feel comfortable that your dentist understands
your objectives.
Preparation of teeth: This appointment will take
from one to two hours. To prepare the teeth for your veneers your teeth
are lightly buffed to allow for the small added thickness of the veneer.
Usually, about a half a millimeter of the tooth is removed, which may
require a local anesthetic. At this appointment, a mold is taken of
the teeth, which is sent to a certified dental lab for the fabrication
of the veneers. This should take no longer than two weeks for your new
smile to be created. In most cases your dentist will fit you with a
temporary smile during the fabrication of your new veneers.
Bonding of your veneers: This appointment will take
about one or two hours. First, the dentist places the veneers with water
or glycerin on the teeth to check their fit and get a true sense of
their shade or color. While the veneers are resting on your teeth, make
sure you view the aesthetic results and pay particular attention to
the color. At this point, the color of the veneers can still be adjusted
with the shade of the cement to be used.
The color cannot be altered after veneers are cemented.
To apply your veneers, your teeth are cleaned with specific dental cleansers
to achieve a firm and permanent bond. Then special cements are sandwiched
between the veneer and tooth, a visible light beam initiates the release
of a catalyst to harden the cement and your new smile is in place.
