Veneers / Bonding

Dental Veneers

Veneers are routinely used to cover teeth which are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned. Veneers and bonding can be made out of porcelain (in the laboratory) or on the spot, by using composite resin.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that measure less than 1.5mm thickness. First, the dentist will prepare and then take an impression of the prepared teeth, and send the impression to a dental laboratory to have the veneers manufactured.

The veneer is then cemented into place in a subsequent appointment.

Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color.

The resin used for the bonding is hardened (cured) with a curing light and then shaped, contoured, and polished to give a cosmetic and natural appearance. Bonding is the least expensive cosmetic procedure and can be completed during a single dental visit.

Composite bonding is excellent for small defects in the teeth -- spots, chips, or gaps between teeth. For smile alterations involving an entire tooth or multiple teeth, porcelain is the material of choice.
