Erase Stains, Close Gaps, Reshape and Resize Teeth with Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are customized porcelain shells placed over teeth to improve their appearance. They enhance your smile and are a beautiful option.

Are veneers right for me? Yes, if you have:

• Chipped, cracked, or worn-out teeth
• Discolored or stained teeth
• Uneven spaces between teeth
• Mildly crooked teeth
• Poorly shaped or sized teeth

Dental imperfections can damage your confidence, leaving you hesitant to smile freely. You might find yourself covering your mouth with your hand, smiling with tightly pressed lips, or avoiding smiles altogether. Life is too short for that! Reclaim your confidence and let your smile shine with the transformative power of porcelain veneers.

Before we place veneers, you’ll schedule a consultation with Dr. McMullin. We’ll discuss your smile goals and how veneers can transform your smile. Digital x-rays and scans will be necessary to evaluate your teeth and gums for gum disease and decay. These issues must be addressed first before placing veneers. After the initial consultation, we’ll determine the number of veneers needed. Some patients only need one or two veneers, while others need an entire set to create an even smile.

At your next appointment, the dentist will prepare your teeth by removing about 0.5mm of the front enamel. Enamel alteration creates space to accommodate the thickness of your veneers to ensure a seamless appearance. Then, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth and send the images to our dental lab to custom-create your veneers. In the interim, you’ll wear a set of temporary veneers to protect your prepped teeth.

Once we receive your veneers from the lab, we’ll inform you to schedule an appointment to have them attached to your teeth. Dr. McMullin will inspect the fit and appearance of your veneers. A few adjustments may be necessary to ensure your veneers match the exact specifications of your teeth. Finally, we’ll cement your veneers to your teeth, providing immediate transformation.

Porcelain veneers create the perfect smile makeover for anyone looking to enhance their smile. Transform your smile with porcelain veneers, and enjoy the following benefits.

• Natural aesthetics: Porcelain veneers aren’t “too perfect” or “too white.” They look and feel just right, like natural teeth.
• Durability: Porcelain veneers can last 10-plus years with proper maintenance. To ensure your veneers last long, brush, floss, wear a night guard, and visit your dentist twice a year.
• Stain resistance: Unlike natural enamel, porcelain veneers don’t absorb stains from coffee, red wine, cola, tobacco, etc. This ensures you maintain a brilliantly white smile for years.
• Biocompatibility: Porcelain is “tissue-friendly” or biocompatible, so it doesn’t react with your oral tissues.
