Veneers: If you want to improve your smile, beautiful custom made procelain veneers and crowns are the platinum standard that world class cosmetic dentists use to create gorgeous smiles. Sometimes referred to as procelain laminates, veneers are thin custom-made moldings that resurface the face of unsightly teeth.
You may have seen people with unnatural looking dental work that is easy to spot. Perhaps their teeth are unnaturally white, opaque, and blocky, or maybe you've spotted the tell-tale signs of dark metal showing between the porcelain and the gum line. We want our patient's smile to appear so naturally beautiful that people will only assume they were born with it. To get this type of result takes a combination of artisans, the cosmetic dentist and the master ceramist.
The first step in the fabrication of the veneers is for the cosmetic dentist to design them in conjunction with the clients' desires. This is where artistry, science, training, and knowledge of materials merge. The dentist must specify the shape, thickness, and colors. Natural teeth are not pure white, but rather have subtle colors, hints of yellow, blue, pink, and these vary throughout each tooth. The cosmetic dentist must communicate the exact specifications for the ceramist to follow.
The most beautiful, realistic restorations are individually hand made by a master ceramist. Each veneer or crown is crafted from special tooth-colored porcelain to create the most natural smile possible.
Veneers are natural looking, and can actually improve the strength of your natural teeth because only a minimal amount of natural tooth is altered to fit the veneer. The veneer is also very secure, as it is tightly bonded to your natural tooth. Veneers are also stain resistant and can transform even the darkest teeth to a brilliant white.
