Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are custom-designed ceramic shells. These lifelike porcelain wafers are placed over worn, uneven, chipped, or cracked teeth to create the ideal smile that patients want. With today's modern materials, porcelain veneers provide a lifelike translucency that yields a more natural-looking result than ever.
Why choose porcelain veneers?
A popular cosmetic dentistry procedure, porcelain veneers enhance the shade and shape of your teeth. They can be used to correct many cosmetic flaws, such as:
- Worn and discolored enamel: Over time, enamel will wear, discolor, and even dull. Most likely this is due to personal habits such as grinding, clenching, soft drink, tea, coffee, smoking, medication use, etc.
- Wear and Tear: Teeth naturally wear down as we age and can become chipped or cracked.
- Genetics: Abnormal, excessive spacing, small teeth, etc.
The porcelain veneer process
Once you and Dr. Roby decide on this treatment plan, the veneers can be fabricated and placed over two appointments in the span of 2-4 weeks. At the initial consultation, Dr. Roby will evaluate your gum tissue's health as well as other factors, which can include tooth coloring or decay. You will return to our Longmont office for tooth preparation, and Dr. Roby will carefully match the shade of your permanent veneers with your teeth to provide a seamless smile. Your temporary veneers will be placed at this time. In a few weeks, you'll come back for a final appointment in which your permanent porcelain veneers will be adjusted and applied. We love taking before and after pictures, so patients can see just how dramatic an improvement veneers can achieve.
After your veneer placement
The life of your veneers depends on the expertise with which they are placed and how well you take care of them. With Dr. Roby's technical expertise and your consistent care, veneers can provide you with many years of stunning, self-confident smiles.
