​

Veneers are very thin, custom-made shells of tooth colored material designed to cover the front surface of the teeth. These 'shells' are bonded to the front of the teeth, which can change the color, shape, size or length of the tooth.  

​

Our Dentists get so many questions about dental procedures including veneers at our dental practice and we want our patients and the public to be informed to make proper decisions about their oral health and appearance.  

​

Veneers are known by several names; porcelain veneers or laminates and are very thin, custom-made shells of tooth colored material designed to cover the front surface of the teeth.  These 'shells' are bonded to the front of the teeth which can change the color, shape, size or length of the tooth.  

​

Why would our Dentists  recommend veneers to our patients?

​

Dentists recommend veneers to any to our patients that are generally dissatisfied with their smile and want a more attractive appearance to their teeth.  Reasons for considering veneers are:

• Cover discolored teeth due to tetracycline or staining

• Lengthen short worn down teeth

• Fix teeth that are chipped, worn or cracked

• Align uneven or irregularly shaped teeth

• Close a gap

• Tired of bleaching-want a more permanent solution

 

What are the steps involved to get veneers?

​

I want my patient has to be actively involved in the decision making process. I want my patient to tell me as best as they can what they are trying to achieve. I examine the teeth to make sure dental veneers are appropriate.  I discuss the procedure and any limitations.  A new patient must have a complete comprehensive oral dental exam including x-rays.  We review the process at the first visit after a thorough dental exam and consultation.  

​

The teeth have to be prepped on the first visit. On the second visit, the veneers are bonded into place creating a natural beautiful smile. Between visits the patient has temporaries in place that are esthetic in appearance. Veneers can be accomplished in as little as two visits, and the effect will last many, many years.

​

Are veneers expensive?

​

At our office we offer interest free financing for twelve months. The cost of veneers depend on the number placed. The end result of veneers are truly life altering.  Patients experience a change in their lives socially, their confidence and self esteem.  That alone is priceless!
