Dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry option that utilizes thin shells designed to look like a real dental crown. Teeth veneers can be made of many materials, including composites and ceramics. The first veneers were made of porcelain and were so fragile that Hollywood stars had to take them off as soon as the camera stopped rolling for fear of breaking them. Modern veneers are made of a sturdier form of porcelain or advanced ceramics that are even stronger than your natural teeth. Although these materials are strong, they are still attractive and virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

There are many reasons why people choose dental veneers.

The most important reason why people choose veneers is that they look incredibly beautiful.

With other cosmetic dentistry procedures, you’re generally limited by your natural teeth. Teeth whitening can’t make your teeth whiter than your natural enamel allows. Orthodontics can straighten your teeth, but your teeth are still their natural shape.

Veneers look like natural teeth, but they can look like the ideal natural teeth. They can make your teeth as white as you want and give them the ideal shape you choose.

Short of replacing missing teeth, veneers can address almost any cosmetic complaint you have with your teeth. They can improve teeth that are:

And they can do it all in one simple procedure. Veneers also let you choose just how many teeth you want to treat. You can get just one or two veneers to conceal problem teeth or get an entirely new smile.

Modern veneers are highly durable. They utilize some of the most advanced materials available, materials that combine beauty and strength–they can be stronger than your natural teeth.

These materials mean that you don’t have to worry about treating your veneers gently. Treat them as you should treat natural teeth, and you’ll enjoy long-lasting results: 10-15 years for most veneers, and with proper care and a little luck they can last for several decades.

Considering all that it can accomplish, the veneers procedure is very fast. It takes just three visits to complete your veneers procedure, so in less than a month, you can have an entirely new smile.

When it comes to getting dental veneers, the entire process is quite simple.

In your first appointment, Dr. Mark Kuchta will provide an examination to determine if you are a candidate. Veneers depend on healthy teeth to support them. During the consultation, you’ll talk about your cosmetic goals so Dr. Kuchta can determine if porcelain veneers will give you the results you want.

In your second appointment, Dr. Kuchta will prepare your teeth for veneer placement. We’ll take impressions using our digital TRIOS scanner–no need to bite into uncomfortable impression trays. We can send these impressions electronically to the lab where they will fabricate your porcelain veneers. You’ll wear temporary veneers at this time. They’re attractive, but not designed to last.

Your third appointment is your fitting appointment. You’ll get a chance to look at the veneers and try them on before you get them bonded to your teeth. If you like them, Dr. Kuchta will bond the porcelain veneers directly to your teeth, creating your new smile.
