Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made. They are approximately the thickness of a fingernail and fit over your natural teeth. Veneers may be a good solution for brightening front teeth that have permanent stains or discoloration that can't be whitened. They can be used to correct small gaps between the front teeth, or to fix teeth that are poorly shaped or slightly crooked.

Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth are taken and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and one of our doctors.

On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special solution to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special curing light is used to harden and set the bond.
