Porcelain Veneers

Would you like to change the color, size, shape and/or position of your teeth? Well then porcelain veneers may be for you.  Porcelain veneers are paper thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded onto the front of your teeth to achieve the esthetic result you desire.  They are crafted from tooth-colored, high-tech materials to portray a natural, bright smile. There are different types of ceramic systems available.  There are feldspathic systems (such as VM9, Omega 900, Noritake CZR, and others) and pressed systems (such as Empress, Authentic, Noritake, Finesse and the new E-max).  Various factors influence which system to use.  These factors include the clinical condition of your teeth, the lab technician’s experience, the systems available in a lab, the dentist’s knowledge and experience, the dentist’s trust in the new materials, and the patient’s expectations (ie. esthetics versus longevity versus clinical history).  Here at Premier Esthetics we custom tailor your cosmetic case to meet your individual needs, wants and desires.

Porcelain veneers provide us with an alternative approach to traditional crowns to restore your teeth and smile. Veneers can close unattractive gaps, mask stained or discolored teeth, and correct misshapen or crooked teeth too. Porcelain Veneers are intended to last for many years. Unlike most bonding materials, porcelain veneers will not change color over time. Custom made veneers resist stains from coffee, tea and cigarette smoke because they are made of high-tech, extremely polishable materials.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers:

• A minimal amount of the natural tooth must be altered to fit the veneer
• Veneers can be matched to make even the darkest teeth appear to be bright white
• Minor twists and overlaps, as well as small gaps, can be quickly corrected through the use of veneers
• Mimic a natural tooth while restoring form and function
