Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry technique to improve the appearance of your smile.

Made from porcelain that is contact-lens thin to reflect the natural appearance of teeth, tooth veneers enhance the whiteness of teeth and offer a solution for patients with slight tooth misalignment that does not require orthodontic treatment.

The appearance of chipped or slightly crooked teeth can be improved with dental veneers and teeth will appear whiter.

Alternatives to veneers

Dental veneers are a cosmetic dental treatment for patients who want to straighten as well as whiten teeth. They provide a permanent alternative to patients who want to retain the whiteness of teeth but do not want to make repeat dental appointments for tooth whitening.

Dental veneers are not an alternative to dental crowns as dental crowns protect and repair the tooth; dental veneers offer an aesthetic not protective layer to teeth.

Dental veneers can enhance the whiteness of one individual tooth as an alternative to teeth whitening options to whiten all teeth. Cosmetic dental work using porcelain dental veneers is an alternative to unnecessary orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth.

Lumineers are a removable form of dental veneer that require minimal prepatory work on tooth enamel.
