Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain dental veneers are a
beautiful method to correct tobacco or
tea- stained teeth, chipped, or crooked teeth. By placing a ceramic porcelain
on the surface of teeth in some cases as thin as a contact lens, Dr. Bell can
provide patients with bright, straight, and natural looking smiles.We have a
smile catalog to pick from if you are interested in changing the shape of your
teeth. If you are considering veneers but would like more information about the
process of placing porcelain veneers and the cost of treatment, please read the
information below and contact our office for a free cosmetic consultation
What
Do Porcelain Veneers Look Like?
The glass-like ceramic of porcelain veneers highly resembles that of
natural teeth. This is because porcelain veneers have translucency. When light
strikes a natural tooth’s surface, it is not immediately reflected off.
Instead, it penetrates the tooth enamel and reflects off the opaque tooth
dentin that lies just beneath. We will form your veneers in wax first, so that
you may see them and make any changes to size and shape. A custom shade will be
taken to create the most natural life like restorations. After this stage is
complete, a try in of the real porcelain veneers takes place in which you will
see your new smile, and if any changes to shape or shade or needed, we will
change them at this time before they are permanently cemented. Veneers are a
great way to change your smile, and change your life!!
