Are you looking for a way to rapidly improve the appearance of your smile? If you are, veneers are an affordable, fast way to correct minor imperfections of the teeth, including stains, yellowing, and chips.

Veneers

Veneers are thin sheets of either porcelain or composite material that are affixed to each of your front teeth. Veneers are used to cover up certain imperfections, like yellowing, staining, discoloration, chips, gaps, and unevenness. Many individuals select veneers because they are a faster, more affordable option than braces when correcting minor tooth alignment problems, and they offer immediate results when it comes to whitening your smile.

Porcelain Veneers

When it comes to getting the right veneers, most people choose porcelain veneers due to their chip and stain resistance as well as their ability to correct minor tooth imperfections. Once the veneers are affixed to your teeth, they generally last between 10 and 20 years with proper oral hygiene.

The Process of Getting Veneers

The process of getting porcelain veneers starts with an initial visit to your dentist. During that visit, your dentist will explain the pros and cons of veneers, take digital images and precisely measure your teeth. All of the information is then sent to a partner laboratory where your veneers are made. Once your veneers are available at our office, we will schedule a second appointment to affix the veneers to your teeth.

During your second appointment, our dentist will ensure each veneer is the right shape and size by placing them against your teeth. If any trimming is needed to ensure a proper fit, we will file the veneer to remove any excess material. Next, the surface of your tooth will be roughened to improve the bond between your tooth and the veneer. Lastly, the veneer is placed on your tooth. Once Dr. Andy Tang has placed the porcelain veneers on your teeth, you will have a straight, white, bright smile that you can be proud to show off.
