Veneers

Veneers are also the ones that involve a certain degree of modification to the natural enamel of teeth. In most cases, 6 to 10 teeth on an arch are artistically shaped to ideal contours so that a thin porcelain veneer can be bonded in a harmonious balance between form and function.

The Benefit of having veneers is that your smile will be instantly transformed into the one you’ve always dreamed about – with the ability to control the shape, color, and translucency. However, even though preparations are minimal, veneers must be considered irreversible. Wouldn’t it be great to have veneers without so much”drilling” and to leave more tooth structures intact? Wouldn’t it be better to not grind at all? The answer is not that simple.

Minimal preparation veneers may be suitable for patients seeking to address a number of cosmetic dental conditions, including:

• cracked teeth or chipped teeth
• discolored or stained teeth
• diastemas (gaps or spaces) between teeth
• Misshapen or slightly misaligned teeth
• slightly crowded teeth
• worn teeth
• small teeth

Veneers

This procedure is using porcelain material that is both aesthetic and strong making it last much longer than resin veneers. Veneers maintain a very natural look with the potential of different size, shape, and color of tooth or teeth being treated. Generally, this is completed in at least two visits. The results are to improve a smile for a long time.

Resins

This procedure is using the same material as a regular filling, but the focus is meant to correct or change the size, shape, and color of the tooth or teeth. Generally, this is completed in one visit. The material over time will need to be redone as this is not a long-term solution. The results are to improve a smile quickly.
