What is a Dental Veneer?

The dental veneer is a prosthetic front that is fitted on your smile to create smile perfection. People often ask for dental veneers if they have issues with their smile due to tooth discoloration or tooth staining. Tooth staining can happen due to a variety of reasons.
Acquired Tooth Stains: these types of tooth stains happen due to exposure of your smile to certain types of foods drinks or other dieting habits. There are various food that can cause staining in your teeth. Among some of these foods are coffee, chocolate, tea, and other dark foods.

In order to create a dental veneer you need to be able to find a dentist who has been doing dental veneers for at least 3-4 years. Typically the dentist will first remove excess enamel from the front of your teeth to prepare them for dental veneer placement. This is a very delicate procedure and requires pre-planning and premeditation to be able to create the perfect surface to place your dental veneer on top of. Once the front of your teeth have been prepared then the dentist needs to make your dental veneer from scratch. Next the dentist will take an impression of your teeth to make sure that the dental veneer fits to the front of your smile perfectly. At our office we have state of the art technology to make sure your dental veneer will be fitted perfectly. Making the dental veneer takes a sculptor, an artist in order to create the vision for your smile. We utilize our top notch Cerec technology in order to make your dental veneer as accurate as possible. We are able to scan your tooth surfaces into the computer and compute the margins necessary to make your dental veneer the perfect accessory to your smile. We can then use a set of dye schemes to determine the perfect color for whatever dental veneer that you need. Once that color and contour is made then your dental veneer will be ready to be created. Next we create your dental veneer using our cerec machine. Our laboratory staff has been creating dental veneers for many years and they are focused on making your smile the best smile.
