Porcelain Veneers
What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain Veneers are strong but thin porcelain shells that are bonded over your natural teeth. Because you control the size, shape, color and style of these teeth coverings you can instantly and completely change the look of your smile.
What are the advantages of Porcelain Veneers ?
Because porcelain is a ceramic product it has glass like qualities. Porcelain veneers have a translucency and sheerness that mimics the look of your own natural teeth. Because you can't see the difference between these restorations and your own teeth it is possible to use veneers on one, two or more teeth as needed.
Porcelain veneers are an especially good option for teeth with deep staining, teeth with gaps and misaligned or uneven teeth.
What happens during the procedure?
You will collaborate with Dr. Hedge on the design of your new look. Both function and aesthetic qualities must be considered. Using digital imaging to give you a preview of your new smile, both you and Dr. Hedge can make any needed adjustments.
Cerec Porcelain Veneers
The Cerec system is an amazing technological development for dental restoration work. It makes it possible to manufacture your new veneers in-office instead of sending them to an outside manufacturer. That means your porcelain veneers can be manufactured, fitted and applied in one visit. Instant smile gratification!
How about maintenance?
Your new porcelain veneers will both look and feel like your natural teeth so there should be little adjustment to make after their application. You will need to continue to follow a good dental hygiene routine and see Dr. Hedge for your usual dental check-ups.
