Porcelain Veneers

Your smile is an important element in creating a positive first impression. Having a great looking smile can be one of your most powerful assets.

Most people would love to have brighter, straighter teeth and a more open and impressive smile. But orthodontic braces require a great deal time and hassle--often several years. One alternative for individuals looking for ways to improve the appearance of teeth that are stained, crooked or crowded is porcelain laminate veneers.

Porcelain veneers can dramatically change the shape, color, size, and arrangement of your teeth.

Veneers are ultra-thin (0.3mm-0.5mm) tooth-shaped custom sculpted pieces of porcelain that fit over the front of your teeth and are bonded directly to the tooth structure.

A porcelain veneer gives the front surface of your tooth a "face lift." And it requires only two office visits to accomplish.

Because they are metal-free, porcelain veneers allow for a more natural refraction of light, similar to that of human enamel. They are resistant to staining making them practical and aesthetic. Porcelain veneers can last for many years with proper daily care and regular visits to the dentist.
