Veneers

If you have chipped or misshaped teeth, veneers could be the answer. Veneers can also be used to cover gaps in teeth or even stubborn stains. Unsightly teeth can be effectively covered with a thin shell of dental material that matches the color of the other teeth – a veneer.

Veneers are custom-made and can usually be placed in as little as one office visit. Although the tooth enamel needs to be roughened up slightly to improve the bonding, the small amount of enamel that is lost is not as much as with some other restorative processes.

Depending on the position of the veneer in the mouth and the expected results, there are two possible options for the veneer. Both are expertly color-matched and easy to apply.

• Porcelain veneers resist stains more easily and are stronger and long-lasting.

• Composite resin veneers are more economical and also easier to repair if damaged after placement.
