Our Grand Rapids dentists will be able to discuss the pros and cons of so you can make an informed decision for your smile.
How Porcelain Veneers Work
Porcelain veneers are placed on the fronts of teeth that show when you smile or talk. Dental veneers are essentially thin tooth-colored shells made of porcelain that are bonded to the fronts of your teeth. Not only do dental veneers look like natural tooth enamel, but they are also highly stain resistant. Porcelain veneers can hide front teeth that are chipped, discolored, irregularly shaped, or crooked.
Porcelain Veneer Procedure
The porcelain veneer procedure is broken up into two visits. To make room for your porcelain veneers, our dentists will first need to remove enough tooth enamel from the fronts of your teeth.
Porcelain veneers look just like natural teeth!
This will prevent your new dental veneers from looking large and bulky. Our dentists will then take dental impressions, which will be sent to the lab where your veneers will be made. When you come back for the second part of the veneers process, our dentists will bond the veneers to the fronts of your teeth.
