Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. Whether you want to correct discoloration, chips, gaps or irregular shapes, veneers provide a long-lasting solution for a more confident smile. Made from high-quality porcelain or composite resin, veneers are carefully bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural enamel for a flawless, radiant look.
The Dental Veneer Process
Receiving dental veneers typically involves a few appointments. First, our dentists will evaluate your smile and discuss your goals. A small amount of enamel may be removed from the front surface of your teeth to ensure a proper fit. Impressions are then taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where custom veneers are crafted to match the shape, size and shade of your natural teeth.
Once your veneers are ready, our dentists will bond them securely in place, making final adjustments to ensure comfort and aesthetics. With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups, your veneers can last for many years.
The Benefits of Dental Veneers
Dental veneers offer a simple yet transformative solution for various cosmetic concerns. Dr. Timothy Gillespie and associates may recommend them if you are looking to:
- Cover stains or discoloration that do not respond to teeth whitening
- Correct small chips, cracks or worn enamel
- Close gaps or spaces between teeth
- Improve the shape or length of teeth for a more symmetrical appearance
- Address minor misalignment for a straighter-looking smile
Porcelain veneers are particularly popular due to their durability, natural translucency and resistance to stains. Composite resin veneers provide a more affordable alternative and can often be applied in a single visit. Our dentists will discuss the best option for your individual needs.
