What is a porcelain veneer?
You can think of a porcelain veneer like a contact lens for your teeth!
Porcelain veneers are extremely thin, about 0.3mm (the thickness of a business card), and are bonded to the front of your tooth. Porcelain is chosen because it most naturally replicates human enamel. Veneers can change the shape, color, size, and symmetry of your teeth and smile.
Visit #1: Preparation
During your first visit, we will prepare your teeth for veneers by removing a thin layer of enamel, about the thickness of a fingernail. An impression of your smile will be taken and sent to our local dental lab for custom fabrication of your veneers.
Visit #2: Bonding
10-14 days later, you’ll return for your second visit. We will clean your teeth and permanently bond the porcelain veneers using high-grade resin dental cement.
In less than an hour, you’ll have your brand new smile. Get ready to enjoy those selfies!
