Rivaling Nature with Veneers
Serving Santa Rosa and San Francisco, California
A conservative, non-aggressive way to rejuvenate your smile. Ceramic and porcelain veneers work well for tooth reshaping and resizing. The attraction of veneers is not only the final natural appearance, but the conservative nature of preparation (shaping) means that very little natural tooth structure is removed.
When veneers are bonded into place, the virgin strength of the tooth is captured, as well. I have found that this is the treatment of choice for smile enhancement that needs more than just whitening.
Veneer treatment is also time-convenient. It takes two appointments to complete a smile makeover. The first appointment is the shaping-impression appointment. While our specialized esthetic technician is custom crafting the ceramic veneers, the client will wear provisional veneers to keep them comfortable and socially confident. The second appointment involves the bonding of the custom veneers with the final finishing, adjustment, and polishing.
See how natural the gums are! This is another advantage to modern veneer techniques. The ceramics blend in so well with the natural tooth structure that the boarders (margins) are finished without intruding on the gumline. As a result, finishing and polishing can be accomplished to the highest level. Furthermore, this virtually eliminates the chance for contamination during the bonding process (which is the reason for staining in some situations following veneer placement).
So as you can see, technique and skill of the dentist is critical for achieving a beautiful and stable final result.
