Veneers
Veneer is a thin shell of porcelain or plastic that is bonded to a tooth to improve
its colour and shape. A veneer generally covers only the front and top of a tooth.
Veneers can be used to close spaces between teeth, lengthen small or misshapen teeth,
or whiten stained or dark teeth. When teeth are chipped or begeinning to wear, veneers
can protect them from damage and restore their original appearance.
How do we restore teeth with veneers?
First we shape and roughen the teeth. We then take impressions of your teeth, which
we use to make precise working models of your mouth. It's on these models that we
artistically craft veneers to fit the prepared teeth.
After that, we clean and polish the prepared teeth. THen we use an adhesive to bond
the veneers to the teeth. A harmless, high-intensity light hardens the adhesive.
Once in place, veneers virtually become part of the teeth. You can use them like
you would your own teeth, because the bond is extremely strong. The final result
is beautiful and natural looking teeth.
