Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Dental Veneers - The Instant Smile Makeover
Porcelain veneers, also known as Dental Veneers or Lumineers, are one of the easiest ways to get the smile you have always dreamed of.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are designed to fit over the front surfaces of your teeth and are “bonded” onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to porcelain crowns and the ideal solution for treating many different dental conditions.
As with many other dental restoration procedures, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. However, they are very durable and will last many years, giving you a beautiful long lasting smile.
Porcelain Veneers can be used to correct any number of dental problems:
• Chipped Teeth
• Broken Teeth
• Gaps in Teeth
• Misshapen Teeth
• Disfigured Teeth
• Discolored Teeth
• Stained Teeth
• Cracked Teeth
• Crooked Teeth
If you are suffering from any of the above dental problems, Den-Care Smile Center can correct your smile with the use of porcelain veneers.
Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer. A mold or impression of the teeth is taken and a shade will be chosen by you and the dentist.
On the second visit the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden the bonding agent.
You will receive care instructions for your porcelain veneers explaining that proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new smile.
