A Better Smile with Porcelain Veneers

Many people have seen television makeovers and want to know whether they too can trade in their smile for a gorgeous, brand new one. The answer is usually yes, with the proper general dentistry practice and porcelain veneers, a wonderful smile is not far away.

Having a smile full of stained, crooked, and chipped teeth can be embarrassing. People who have had veneers done report higher self-esteem, more confidence, and greater success in the dating world. Luckily, the procedure is not difficult and positive effects can be seen in a short period of time.

Typically the process toward porcelain veneers begins with a planning session. The dentist will look at which kind of veneers will look right in your mouth and take out some of the existing tooth enamel in order to accommodate the incoming veneers. Usually temporary veneers are place on the teeth while the permanent veneers are made in a dental lab. Finally the permanent ones are installed and the dentist explains how best to take care of your new teeth.

Because they mimic the appearance of natural teeth, porcelain veneers can replace stained, discolored, chipped, and crooked teeth and make them appear natural, clean, and bright. Come talk to us about having a beautiful smile today!
