What are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells made from high-quality dental ceramic. They are custom-crafted to fit over the front surface of your teeth and are designed to match the natural color and translucency of your existing teeth.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

• Cosmetic Enhancement: Veneers can improve the appearance of teeth affected by discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, or minor misalignment.
• Natural Appearance: Porcelain mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel for a realistic and aesthetically pleasing result.
• Durable: Veneers are stain-resistant and can last for many years with proper care.
• Minimally Invasive: Compared to crowns, porcelain veneers require minimal alteration of the natural tooth structure.

The Porcelain Veneer Process

Transforming your smile with porcelain veneers typically involves the following steps at Cornerstone Dental:

• Consultation: We discuss your smile goals and assess your dental health to determine if porcelain veneers are right for you.
• Treatment Planning: A personalized treatment plan is created based on your desired outcomes and the condition of your teeth.
• Preparation: A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front surface of your teeth to accommodate the thickness of the veneers.
• Impressions: Impressions of your prepared teeth are taken to create custom veneers that fit perfectly.
• Bonding: The veneers are bonded to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive and adjusted to achieve an ideal fit and appearance.
• Final Touches: Any final adjustments are made to ensure your veneers blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
