You have probably seen them and not even known they were porcelain.  Dental porcelain veneers can look so natural you’d think the person smiling was born with them.  That’s the point.  Veneers are supposed to make a smile whiter, brighter, straighter and yet look like that’s the way its supposed to be.

There are a lucky few born with the perfect smile with limit natural abnormalities.  For most, however, some intervention is required.  Orthodontics during adolescence can straighten teeth and, if maintained properly, keep it.  But as we age, our teeth wear, stain and break.  Sometimes we’ve just never been happy with that space or that twisted incisor.  Maybe the grinding has taken our teeth down a bit.

Dental porcelain veneers are the adult option for straighter, whiter and natural looking teeth.  After a lengthy discussion with a trained cosmetic dentist, you’ll decide on a plan for the number of veneers you want and on which teeth.  Your cosmetic dentist will apply his extensive artistic skills to ensure the veneers match your desires – longer, wider, whatever.  He or she will also be sure that they still look natural with your skin tone and facial features.  First he’ll prepare the teeth and take an impression.  The lab will fabricate the porcelain and custom color to your unique features.  The cosmetic dentist will then place them and your smile is the way you’ve always wanted it.  Fully functional, fully beautiful.
