Dental Veneers: What are they?

What are veneers?

Veneers are durable, wafer-thin porcelain or ceramic shells designed to look just like your own teeth.  Each long-lasting veneer is shaped to match the size, shape, and color of your teeth.  Once tailored to your teeth specifications, they are placed on top of your natural teeth (they do not replace your natural teeth.)

When are veneers used?

Since teeth become worn over the years, teeth may begin to look dull.  Drinking coffee and tea for years on end can contribute to discoloration and stains.  Genetics may cause gaps or uneven spacing between teeth.  Grinding teeth can lead to uneven teeth.

Veneers are used to correct these types of dental cosmetic inadequacies.  Veneers are versatile and can be used to close gaps between teeth, even out teeth length, cover stains, and to restore broken, cracked or chipped teeth.

Who is a good candidate for veneers?

You are a good candidate for veneers if you have strong and healthy natural teeth along with minor cosmetic imperfections that you would like to correct.  Veneers are a simple, fantastic solution for most minor dental cosmetic imperfections.

What are the benefits of veneers?

Veneers are the perfect solution for tooth repair:  they look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.  They are made of stain-resistant porcelain or ceramic, so they won’t stain or become discolored.  Veneers are designed to be strong and long-lasting.  Veneers look just like your other teeth, so nobody will be able to tell which teeth are natural and which have veneers.  Moreover, veneers stay vibrant for decades when you take care of your teeth daily and visit your dentist checkups on a regular basis.
