Dental veneers are used to fill gaps between teeth, cover up stains, and cover teeth that may be chipped, uneven, misaligned, or oddly shaped. Dental veneers are made from porcelain or resin composite material that will match the color of your teeth. Porcelain veneers usually resist stains better than resin composite, and reflect light like natural teeth.
When you come to our office, our dentist will use high-tech cosmetic imaging to show you what your teeth will look like with porcelain veneers. That way you know exactly what you are getting. The dentist may also use X-rays to get a better look at your teeth and gums.
To create a porcelain veneer, our dentist will make an impression of your tooth. The impression is then sent out to a dental laboratory that manufactures the veneer, which takes about 1-2 weeks. The color and shade of the veneer will be made to match your other teeth. While the porcelain veneer is being made at the lab, you will be given a temporary dental veneer to wear.
To find out if porcelain veneers are right treatment for your stained teeth, please call our office at 702-803-1787.
