> What do veneers do?

Veneers hide just about any visible dental imperfection you may have, from ridges in the enamel to smile gaps to darkening at the inner layers. A veneer is surprisingly durable considering the fact that it is about the same size and thickness as a contact lens. Veneers also provide your teeth with protection from damage and discoloration.

> How are veneers installed?

Everyone's smile is different, which is why each veneer has to be custom-created by a skilled dental technician. A mold is taken of your natural teeth so that the right size and shape restoration can be designed for each tooth. Using perfectly shaded dental cement, your cosmetic dentist will bond each veneer to each individual tooth that shows in the front when you smile. After just a few additional minutes of shaping and polishing, the treatment is complete.

> How long do veneers last?

Most patients who get veneers are amazed by the overall appearance of their new smiles. Your teeth look smooth, are contoured perfectly, and are colored the perfect shade of white for your appearance. Best of all, they will continue to look that way for up to a decade or more. When you consider the cost versus the benefits of getting long-lasting veneers, the choice is clear.
