Veneers cover the front of the tooth surface and slightly wrap around the sides and biting edge of the tooth. In most cases, each tooth receiving a veneer will be carefully prepped prior to the veneer fabrication and placement. This preparation involves removing a thin (usually less than one millimeter) layer of tooth enamel from the natural teeth in the areas that will be covered by the veneer. This allows the veneer to fit seamlessly with the contours of the natural tooth. The dental veneers are attached using a thin but strong bonding material. The material hardens when cured by a specialized light at our cosmetic dentistry dental office.

How Dental Veneers Can Help

Veneers can be applied to one or several teeth for any of the following aesthetic reasons:

• Correct gaps between the teeth
• Correct uneven lengths
• Correct slightly misaligned teeth
• Correct discoloration of natural teeth
• Restore chipped teeth
• Correct teeth that are slightly crooked
• Change the size, shape, or minor imperfections

Our cosmetic dentistry team offers comprehensive consultations to determine if dental veneers are right for your specific needs.

Porcelain veneers are the longest-lasting and most aesthetically-pleasing type of veneer in cosmetic dentistry. They are created in a lab to the exact specifications of the dentist and mimic the look of natural enamel, using multiple thin layers of porcelain. The size, color, shape, and fit of porcelain veneers are fully customized to enhance your smile through advanced cosmetic procedures.

Made using composite resin, these may be made in the dental office or in a dental lab and are less expensive than porcelain veneers. They can alter the appearance of tooth color, size, or shape and can be an effective cosmetic dentistry solution for less extensive cosmetic improvements. They are fully customized, as are the porcelain veneers, but the composite material is somewhat susceptible to staining and does not last as long as porcelain.

Prefabricated resin veneers are not customized to the shape and fit of your teeth, although they do come in different sizes and shapes. We do not recommend instant veneers in cosmetic dentistry because they do not provide the appearance, quality, or durability of custom veneers.
