Veneers

Dental veneers are incredibly thin porcelain “shells” that fit over the surface of your teeth. They completely change the appearance of your smile and can correct numerous dental issues.

Veneers are completely customized to fit your smile and offer a natural, beautiful appearance. In fact, when you admire the gorgeous smiles of celebrities, you’re often admiring a great set of dental veneers.

Dental veneers can address the following dental issues:

• Discoloration
• Shape irregularities
• Worn down teeth
• Chipped teeth
• Fractured teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Misalignment

In addition to the aesthetic benefits, dental veneers also serve to strengthen and protect your teeth.

During your initial exam, Dr. Emdin determines if veneers are the best fit for your needs. She repairs any areas of decay prior to beginning the veneer process.

The first step involves gathering the imaging needed to map out your treatment plan. You’ll be able to see a representation of what your smile will look like after your veneers are in place.

Next, Dr. Emdin carefully removes a very small portion of your enamel to make room for the veneers. A local anesthetic can help keep you comfortable during this part of the process.

Dr. Emdin makes a set of impressions to send to the dental lab. The technicians use that information to create a set of custom veneers that blend perfectly with the shape and contours of your natural teeth. You receive a set of temporary veneers to wear until the permanent versions arrive.

At that point, Dr. Emdin checks the fit of your new veneers, making small adjustments as needed. Once you’re both comfortable with the fit and appearance, she cements the veneers into place, and your new smile is complete!
