In just two or three dental visits, a veneer can reverse years of stains caused by foods, caffeine and tobacco use. Special thin laminates, called veneers, can also be used to correct discolored, worn down, cracked and chipped teeth. Veneers can also be used to close unsightly gaps between teeth. Stronger types of veneers made of porcelain last longer because they are bonded to the tooth.
An impression of the tooth must be made and a veneer molded by a lab technician. Because veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, they are permanent and non-reversible.
The process involves buffing the tooth, removing a layer of the tooth to allow for the thickness of the veneer, an impression of the tooth, and final bonding of the veneer to the tooth with a special bonding agent. A special light is used to complete the process.
We also do LUMINEERS. LUMINEERS is a porcelain veneer that can be made as thin as a contact lens and is placed over existing teeth without requiring painful removal of sensitive tooth structure (unlike traditional veneers.)
We can apply these contact lens-thin, smile shapers to teeth without any grinding or shaving, transforming misshapen, worn teeth into a naturally beautiful smile that looks perfect for every individual. (in most cases)
LUMINEERS can even be placed on porcelain bridgework and crowns.
LUMINEERS is the best of both worlds: ultra-thin, yet super strong for a radiant smile that resists any cracking, which can damage restorations.
LUMINEERS are completely reversible. Get your perfect smile today!
We also do the Empress and De Vinci veneers as seen on the tv show Extreme Makeover.
