Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or on teeth that are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked.
No prep veneers, as the name suggests, require minimal alteration to your natural teeth. These veneers bond directly to the surface, providing an instant transformation without compromising your tooth structure. With no prep veneers, you can achieve a stunning smile with maximum preservation and no anesthesia. These work best for teeth that are smaller than preferred, have proper alignment, and have minimal discoloration.
For a classic approach to smile enhancement, traditional veneers deliver unparalleled results and tend to be more aesthetically pleasing than no-prep veneers. Crafted from high-quality porcelain, these custom-made shells are meticulously designed to match your existing teeth seamlessly.
Whether you’re aiming for a cosmetic smile makeover or a subtle improvement, traditional veneers offer durability and aesthetic excellence.
Veneer preparation and placement:
- Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding and highly resist permanent staining from coffee, tea, or even cigarette smoking.
- Typically, veneers entail at least three appointments: diagnosis and treatment planning, preparation, and bonding.
- Many times, little or no anesthesia is needed.
