Over time, our teeth can develop stains, chips, breaks, and cracks. Some of us may also feel dissatisfied with the natural shape of our teeth, have permanent discoloration, or notice aging fillings. Did you know that many of these flaws can be beautifully masked with dental veneers?

What Are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin yet durable shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. Typically made from porcelain, veneers provide a natural-looking, flawless new surface.

Porcelain veneers:

• Mimic natural enamel with a translucent, tooth-colored appearance.

• Resist stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco.

The result? A healthy, beautiful smile that looks natural and stays vibrant!

The Glamorous History of Veneers

In 1928, Dr. Charles Pincus, a Hollywood dentist, introduced veneers for movie stars who needed perfect smiles for their roles. Using an acrylic material temporarily adhered to teeth, he gave celebrities like Shirley Temple dazzling smiles for the camera.

Why Choose Veneers?

Veneers are a versatile solution for a variety of dental concerns, including:

1. Color: Stains caused by food, drinks, smoking, or aging can be covered. Choose from natural enamel shades to the brighter white of Hollywood smiles – whatever makes you feel confident.

2. Size & Shape: We can customize veneers to complement your facial features. Whether you prefer rounder teeth for a softer look or square teeth for a bolder smile, we’ll help you achieve your desired result.

3. Alignment & Spacing: Veneers can close small gaps and improve slight misalignments without braces. If you’re self-conscious about a gap or spacing, veneers offer a quick, effective solution.

Caring For Your Veneers

Maintaining veneers is simple:

• Brush and floss regularly.

• Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth.

• Avoid biting on hard objects (like ice or pens).

• Limit foods and drinks that cause staining to keep your veneers vibrant.

With proper care, veneers can last for many years – some patients report their veneers looking great even after 20 years!

The Veneer Procedure

Your veneers will be custom-made to your specifications, ensuring the perfect fit and look. The process typically involves two visits:

1. Impressions & Measurements: We take precise impressions of your teeth and determine the ideal shape, size, and color.

2. Preparation & Placement: Once the veneers are ready, we’ll prepare your teeth and bond the veneers securely for a long-lasting, stunning smile.
