Porcelain veneers are often the ideal cosmetic solution for patients who want to transform their smile. These thin custom layers of porcelain are designed to restore functionality, appearance and comfort. Veneers can help resolve cracks, chips, gaps, discoloration, misaligned teeth, and more for a new, more flawless appearance. Some orthodontic needs can be handled more easily with veneers, and they’re even more resistant against staining than your natural enamel, allowing your improvements to last that much longer.
We have both methods, digital (CAD/CAM) and traditional, in order to make a detailed model of your teeth for your procedure. We will select whichever is best for your case, to help you reach your goals.
Veneers (CAD/CAM)
Video Transcript
Veneers cover the front surface of a tooth and are typically done to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile. Veneers usually require multiple appointments to complete.
With CAD/CAM technology, a computer helps to design the veneers. Your teeth are prepared to make room to place the veneers. Next, the prepared teeth are scanned, and the veneers are created right in your doctor’s office while you wait.
When the veneers are ready, your doctor will make final adjustments and bond them into place.
Your teeth are restored to optimal shape and function, and your smile will be greatly improved.

Veneers (Impression)
Video Transcript
Veneers cover the front surface of a tooth and are typically done to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile. Veneers usually require multiple appointments to complete.
At your first appointment, your doctor will take an impression of your teeth. A dental laboratory will create a model of your mouth, which will be used to create your temporary and final veneers.
During your next visit, your teeth are prepared for the veneers. A second impression is taken, and temporary veneers are placed over your teeth until the final ones are ready.
At a following appointment, your doctor will remove the temporary veneers, and bond the final veneers into place.
Your teeth are restored to optimal shape and function, and your smile will be greatly improved.
