Benefits of Veneers

Custom Veneers
The dentists at Artistic and Family Dental can give you a powerful smile upgrade with custom veneers.
In just two or three dental visits, a veneer can reverse years of stains caused by foods, caffeine and tobacco use. Special thin laminates, called veneers, can also be used to correct discolored, worn down, cracked and chipped teeth. Veneers can also be used to close unsightly gaps between teeth.
An impression of the tooth must be made and a veneer molded by a lab technician. Because veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, they are permanent and non-reversible.
The process involves buffing the tooth, removing an extremely thin layer of the tooth to allow for the thickness of the veneer, an impression of the tooth, and final bonding of the veneer to the tooth with special cement. A special light is used to complete the process
Veneers vs. Crowns
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
- Veneers – Veneers are custom made ceramics that are bonded to the surface of teeth. This requires light preparation of the teeth, about 0.5-1.5mm in depth. Usually, the preparations involve only the outside surface of teeth (the side of teeth facing others when you smile)
- Crowns – Crowns are custom made ceramics that are bonded to the entire tooth the way a baseball cap fits over your head. This requires light preparation of the teeth, about 1-2mm in circumference and on top.
Traditional Porcelain Veneers And Lumineers®
Two of the most popular options in restorative cosmetic dentistry today are Veneers. Veneers are made of thin, durable porcelain material and can provide natural looking, long lasting results when prepared by an experienced, competent dentist. In order to determine which option is best for you, your dentist will consider a variety of circumstances, which include your unique dental history, your overall health, your personal desires and expectations, and her professional understanding of how your final results will meet your needs.
A traditional veneer is essentially a conservative crown. Rather than encompassing the entire tooth, a cosmetic veneer covers the visible part of a tooth preserving a large amount of the natural tooth structure. Veneers can straighten, lengthen and whiten teeth to provide a beautiful smile and even create a more comfortable bite position. For optimal results, each veneered tooth must be shaped. This means that a thin layer (approximately .5 mm) of the natural tooth structure is removed to allow space for veneer placement.
Porcelain veneers, alternatively termed “dental veneers” or “dental porcelain laminates,” are wafer-thin shells of porcelain permanently bonded to teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned. Porcelain veneers are non-porous (they will not stain), incredibly resilient, and “kind” (non-abrasive) to opposing teeth. When a veneer is firmly bonded to a sturdy substructure (like a tooth) it becomes very strong and durable.
Advantages of Porcelain Veneers
-
Porcelain veneers and Lumineers resist staining.
-
A significant advantage of placing porcelain veneers and Lumineers is in the nature of their material. Since porcelain is a ceramic, and therefore glass-like, the porcelain surface of veneers and Lumineers will be extremely stain resistant. Porcelain veneers and Lumineers can be used to repair minor tooth imperfections and defects.
-
Teeth that have small chips or whose surface is worn or misshapen are often good candidates for porcelain veneers and Lumineers.
-
Porcelain veneers and Lumineers can be used to cover over and conceal fillings that have become stained or discolored.
-
Old fillings and previous attempts at cosmetic bonding that have become discolored can be easily corrected with porcelain veneers or Lumineers.
-
Porcelain veneers and Lumineers can be used to make color changes for teeth that have permanent stains. Some teeth are just naturally discolored. This includes teeth that have tetracycline or fluorosis staining and those that have become darkened as a result of physical trauma or root canal treatment. In many cases these teeth are good candidates for porcelain veneers or Lumineers.In some cases porcelain veneers and Lumineers can be used as alternatives to orthodontic treatment.
-
Porcelain veneers and Lumineers can be used to close the space (called a “diastema”) between a person’s teeth. In cases where teeth are slightly crooked to extremely crooked, porcelain veneers and Lumineers can be used to create instant orthodontics.

I moved here not that long ago and found this office on google. I have to say I am very impressed. My appt was timely I did not have to wait for forever in the waiting room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating in a genuine way. The exam was through and they explained everything to me so it was easy to understand. Let’s be honest most people don’t like going to the dentist, but my experience here was as painless as this type of thing can be. Will definitely be using this as my new dentist!
