Achieving a smile that you can be proud of is a goal for many individuals. Porcelain veneers offer an excellent solution for those looking to enhance their smile by addressing issues such as discoloration, chips, or gaps between teeth. Imagine the pride and confidence you'll feel when you can smile freely without worrying about imperfections. Porcelain veneers not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also contribute to your overall oral health and self-esteem.

What are Porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells made from a tooth-colored Porcelain resin material. They are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for those seeking a minimally invasive and cost-effective solution to enhance their smile.

The process of getting Porcelain veneers typically involves a few straightforward steps:

• Consultation and planning: During your initial visit, your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals. This may include taking photographs and impressions of your teeth to create a treatment plan.
• Tooth preparation: Your dentist will prepare your teeth by lightly etching the surface to create a rough texture, which helps the Porcelain material adhere better.
• Application: The Porcelain resin is carefully applied to your teeth in layers. Your dentist will shape and mold the material to achieve the desired appearance.
• Bonding and finishing: Once the Porcelain resin is in place, it is hardened using a special curing light. Your dentist will then polish the veneers to give them a natural shine and smooth finish.

Schedule your consult with Dr Howard Perlmutter to find out if Veneers are right for you.
