Porcelain veneers are thin shell-like materials adhered to the front surface of the teeth to cover imperfections. The porcelain materials used in this treatment are highly durable and natural looking. Although the primary focus of veneers is the enhancement of the aesthetic appearance, they also have protective qualities that could help prevent severe complications. At Village Dental, we help our patients achieve beautiful smiles though dental veneers.

When are Porcelain Veneers used?

CHANGE TOOTH COLOR

• Veneers can cover stained or discolored teeth that do not respond to professional teeth whitening. The discoloration can be caused by various factors, such as aging, smoking, and consumption of foods and drinks with staining properties.

ENHANCE TEETH SHAPE

• Teeth that are too small or too big or poorly shaped could be natural or caused by excessive teeth grinding and other factors. Veneers can remodel the teeth through leveling differences.

REPAIR DAMAGED TEETH

• Veneers could cover chipped and cracked teeth to enhance the appearance and protect it from developing into severe complications.

IMPROVE ALIGNMENT

• Veneers can be used to remove unwanted gaps between the teeth and correct slight misalignment.

Veneer Procedure

The placement of veneers is simple and could be completed in two dental visits. Examination and discussion. The dentist will evaluate the mouth to determine what type of veneers should be used. The patient's preferences are considered to ensure that desired results will be attained.Preparation of the teeth. The teeth that will receive the veneers is cleaned thoroughly. Once cleaned, the enamel is buffed to reduce its size. Making of the veneer. An impression or model of the teeth will be taken and sent to the laboratory that will create the permanent porcelain veneers.Placement of temporary veneer. Since veneers take weeks to create,  temporary veneers are placed on the tooth to protect it.Bonding of the veneer. The porcelain veneer is bonded to the surface of the teeth using a bonding cement. Like other dental restorations, porcelain veneers last for many years with proper care. Let us help you improve the appearance and form of your teeth!
