Beautifully hand-crafted porcelain veneers are the most natural looking restorations in modern dentistry. Imperfections disappear in as few as two comfortable visits to our office.
Why Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers may be used to modify or enhance the color, size, and shape of your teeth. Porcelain veneers provide an excellent alternative to crowns, bonding, ineffective tooth-whitening procedures, and in some cases, orthodontia. Porcelain veneers require at least two office visits and are fabricated by a skilled dental laboratory technician.
The Preparation Appointment:
Your teeth will be prepared to accommodate the very thin, but highly durable, veneer “facings”. Impressions of your teeth will then be taken and sent to the laboratory for fabrication. Temporary veneers will be placed in the interim in order to protect your prepared, natural teeth. The temporary veneers look like your own teeth.
The Cementation Appointment:
In about 3 weeks you will return to our office and the temporary veneers are removed and your new porcelain veneers will be “tried in”. Providing all of Dr. Yasuhara’s specifications have been met and you like the look of your new teeth, an adhesive bonding agent or cement will then be used to permanently secure your new veneers in place.
