Veneers


If you are not pleased with your smile, then veneers may be an option for you.  A veneer can be used to change the color of your teeth, correct small chips in teeth, or even close small space between teeth.  It is a thin layer of restorative material that is placed over a tooth surface.  There are two types of material used in a veneer, composite, and porcelain.  A composite veneer may be directly placed, or indirectly fabricated by a dental technician in a dental laboratory.  A porcelain veneer may only be indirectly fabricated by dental laboratory.  The procedure for a veneer is very simple.  A small amount of tooth structure is removed to support he veneer.  impression are takes and sent to the laboratory.  Temporary veneers are worn until the permanent veneers are later cemented to the tooth.
