What are porcelain veneers?

As ultra thin shells of porcelain, veneers are applied to the front of teeth. They are used to transform the appearance of the teeth. Veneers may be a treatment option for discolored, chipped, gapped, or misaligned teeth.

Benefits of veneers

Because of their various uses in transforming the smile, veneers have benefits as a cosmetic treatment.

• Thin– The veneer shells are approximately the thickness of a fingernail, about 1mm. Once the teeth have been prepared, the veneers blend seamlessly with the tooth and appear natural.
• Color-matched– The shell is color matched to the adjacent teeth or for smile makeovers, the color is selected for the desired result.
• Smile makeover– Veneers may be used to alter a single tooth or to makeover the smile.
• Durable– Porcelain is the optimal choice for veneers. Porcelain is durable, long-lasting, and looks natural.
• Customized– Created by a lab based on your dental impressions and specifications, the end result is a natural-looking smile.

Enhance your smile with veneers

During a consultation, Dr. Palmer will determine if veneers are the best treatment for you. The teeth must be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel the same thickness as the veneer. Impressions of the teeth are taken and notes are made regarding the color, size, and shape of the teeth. A lab creates your custom veneers using the information. Once the veneers are ready, they are cemented into place beautifully transforming your smile.
