Cosmetic Procedures > Veneers

Porcelain veneers, alternatively termed dental veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front side of teeth to create an instant cosmetic improvement to the tooth's texture, color, size and position. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to make cosmetic changes for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned. Many are surprised to find out that veneers can also be used to fix gaps between teeth. Veneers are made of very thin porcelain which typically can last 10-15 years or more.

Veneers can often be done in just two visits. The first visit is the preparation of the tooth or teeth. An impression is taken and the shade or color is chosen. The impression is then sent to the dental lab. The final visit is after the completed veneer is returned from the lab. The veneer is then bonded directly to the prepared tooth leaving the patient with a brand new smile.
