Veneers are laminated porcelain facings that are made in a dental lab and cemented over the front of your natural teeth. They are the cure for teeth that are severely discolored, chipped, have small holes or pits, misshapen or crooked, or for the correction of unwanted or uneven spaces. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years.

Dental veneers can be used to correct both color and shape problems:

COLOR: This procedure is especially attractive to people who have discolored teeth, but don't want to have their teeth prepared for conventional crowning. Tooth enamel discoloration can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Some of the more common causes of tooth discoloration are medications, coffee, tea, cola soft drinks and cigarettes.

SHAPE: Veneers, porcelain or plastic, are placed over the front teeth to change the color or shape of these teeth. Veneers are ideal for teeth that are too small, too big, or have uneven surfaces. It is very common for people to have either,  imperfect teeth,  oddly shaped teeth, chipped teeth, crooked teeth, teeth with small holes in them, or an inappropriate sized tooth or teeth that have an odd appearance. Veneers solve such irregularities and create a durable and pleasing smile.
