Does embarrassment about the appearance of your stained, chipped, crooked teeth always have you hiding your smile in family photos? Well hide no more, because Dr. Alex Fleming can give your smile a complete makeover when we apply dental veneers. These thin shells cover the cosmetic flaws of your teeth, completely transforming your smile’s appearance so it can look younger and healthier.
Dental veneers are usually made from a porcelain material, though composite resin is often used as well. Veneers are stain-resistant, and they can strengthen teeth once they are bonded to them. The veneers will be designed to match your tooth color and make the changes specific to your unique smile. You can care for your veneers like you would your natural teeth, and they can last for up to 10-20 years.
Veneers are a permanent procedure, so please take time to consider getting veneers and discuss your options with our dentist. Veneers usually take two office appointments for application since they need to be created in a dental lab. During the first appointment, we will prepare your teeth for the veneers by removing small amounts of tooth enamel. During the second appointment, we will bond the veneers to your teeth with a curing light, completely transforming your smile.
