The Dental Veneer Treatment Experience

Our dentists will keep you comfortable through the entire process. After a thorough exam of your teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, we will discuss treatment options with you and answer all your questions.

If a dental veneer can improve your smile, your dentist will:

  • Apply a local anesthetic to the affected area of your mouth
  • Remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your tooth to make place for the veneer
  • Clean and polish the tooth’s front surface
  • Bond the veneer in place to permanently affix it
  • Expose the veneer to special hand-held light to harden the repaired surface of your tooth

Frequently Asked Questions

What are porcelain veneers, and how do they enhance my smile?

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells made of durable porcelain that cover the front of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of your smile by addressing issues like discoloration, chipped teeth, uneven spaces, and slight crowding. Veneers are custom-made to fit each patient’s smile and can dramatically enhance the look of your teeth. Since they resist staining and are long-lasting, veneers are a popular cosmetic solution for achieving a natural, beautiful smile.

What dental conditions can porcelain veneers correct?

Porcelain veneers can be used to correct a variety of dental conditions, including:

  • Severely discolored or stained teeth
  • Unwanted or uneven spaces between teeth
  • Worn or chipped teeth
  • Slight tooth crowding
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Teeth that are too small or large

The process of getting veneers usually requires two visits, during which your dentist will take impressions of your teeth, prepare them by lightly buffing the surface, and bond the custom-made veneers to your teeth.
