What are porcelain veneers and how do they work?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin pieces of dental porcelain that are custom-shaped and shaded for your unique smile and then bonded onto the front of your teeth. They are a great way to hide a variety of imperfections in your smile and can dramatically change its appearance, making your smile more symmetrical, evenly colored, and straight. Patients who opt for porcelain veneers often do so because they can achieve terrific results quickly and with minimal tooth alteration, rather than more time-consuming or invasive procedures such as orthodontics or permanent crowns.

The porcelain veneer process

After consulting with Dr. Szyperski about your current oral health, desired end results, and treatment preferences and have decided that porcelain veneers are the best choice for you, the process for getting veneers takes two visits. In the first visit, we will gently buff and shape the front of your teeth so that the veneer will fit well on your teeth. A veneer is like an egg shell facing and minimally invasive. [A1] Then, we will take impressions of your teeth so that your veneers can be custom-made to our specifications, including the shade of white that you have chosen with Dr. Szyperski.

Once your veneers are ready, we will use a special cleaning solution on your teeth and then bond the veneers on with a strong dental cement and a curing light to harden the bond[A2] . Once bonded in the veneer has the strength similar to your natural tooth structure. Then, you are free to go enjoy your brand new smile!
