Porcelain veneers are often used for the same reasons as bonding (to lighten stains, close gaps and even alter crooked or malformed teeth). They are considerable more durable and do not change color, unlike bonding.

The veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a fingernail. Once it is "bonded" onto the tooth it becomes extremely strong. It also blends in with the remaining tooth structure so that it is unnoticeable to the naked-eye. Once in place, it looks, feels, and functions just like a regular tooth.

Porcelain veneers can be utilized to change the shape and color of a single tooth or if necessary, alter an entire smile. Porcelain veneers can also be used to correct teeth that have been worn from clenching and grinding.

Please call for a cosmetic consultation. You may ask any questions you have about the benefits of porcelain veneers.

*Our LUMINEERS are specially made veneers that don.t alter the natural shape or size of your teeth, and are simply bonded in place over your existing teeth. Imagine a new smile with no drilling!!
