Veneers

If you are looking to improve your smile, custom-fitted veneers can provide the answer. Veneers are thin, custom-made moldings that cover the fronts of unsightly teeth. They are crafted from tooth-colored, high-tech materials to portray a natural, bright smile. Veneers provide a safe and less invasive alternative to traditional crowns and unlike most bonding materials, they will not change color or wear over time. Veneers cover unattractive gaps, and can mask stained, misshaped or crooked teeth and are intended to last for many years.
 
Initially the tooth is minimally reshaped to allow for the added thickness and proper contour of the veneer. An impression is made of the reshaped tooth and sent to a dental laboratory where the veneer is custom-made to fit your mouth. The veneer is applied with adhesive material which bonds it to the original tooth structure and essentially becomes one with the tooth. Since veneers are individually sculpted for each patient, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between a veneer and a natural tooth. They resist stains and wear because they are made of high-tech, extremely strong and polishable materials.

Veneers generally cannot be damaged by abrasion from your toothbrush or floss. Good oral hygiene will ensure your veneers stay strong and provide you with a long-lasting, attractive smile.
