  Porcelain Veneers
  Veneers are delicate covers that are placed over the front of the teeth in order to restore their shape and improve their color. They are similar to artificial nails that are placed over natural nails. They may be made of plastic or porcelain. When suitable, veneers provide a conservative way to improve the function and appearance of teeth. Unlike a crown, veneers require that only the front surface of the tooth be reduced in size.

Reasons for porcelain veneers:

  • Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile.
  • Crooked teeth.
  • Misshapen teeth.
  • Severely discolored or stained teeth.
  • Teeth that are too small or large.
  • Unwanted or uneven spaces.
  • Worn or chipped teeth.
 
Close Spaces
Robert had a large space in the middle of his smile. His teeth were also chipped at the edges. His dentist decided he would be a good candidate for no-prep veneers. This means he did not have to endure any shots , drilling or pain to correct his smile. The veneers were simply bonded into place, on top of his natural teeth. He was extremely happy with his new smile.
Reshape Teeth
This 51- year-old female patient had problem with grinding, which caused excessive wear on her front teeth. Also, the surfaces of her teeth were rough and irregular, making them prone to staining.
This 39-year-old male was concerned that his two front teeth were different sizes. He also wanted to address his arch alignment problems. It was decided that his teeth needed to be worked on before veneers could be placed.
Fix Stained Teeth
This 43-year-old wanted to change the shade and alignment of her smile. Veneers were needed on the bicuspids and first molars to correct the alignment & create a nice smile.

This 33-year-old patient was dissatisfied with his smile. His chief complaint was the opaque porcelain crowns on his front two teeth. The patient also wanted to replace his old composites and correct his arch problems.
