eneers are thin porcelain shells that are used to cover an existing tooth or a reconstructed or reshaped tooth.

The advances in cosmetic dentistry in the past five years have revolutionized how dentistry is done and the materials used for tooth repair and cosmetic dentistry have improved dramatically.

Porcelain veneers will last longer than tooth enamel, are resistant to staining and can be used to completely alter a person's smile. Crooked teeth can be straightened, gaps can be filled in, worn teeth can be lengthened and flaws in tooth surfaces covered over. We no longer need to live with the flaws that nature and life accidents provided us!

"Cosmetic Dentistry
provides health benefits"

A porcelain veneer is bonded to the surface of a tooth to give new shape and appearance to that tooth. Each veneer is designed and fit for each patient exclusively. The reason for this is that there is no standard smile, everyone's teeth are different and there is no one solution for every patient.

Teeth must be healthy and any needed treatment is always done before any cosmetic work is begun. Good Cosmetic Dentistry provides health benefits such as improved bite so that stress on the jaw, skull and facial muscles can be eliminated.

Healthy teeth and a proper bite helps gums to stay healthy and resistant to infection and gum disease.

A truly beautiful smile is not simply the fitting of porcelain veneers on the surface of a tooth. It's blending all of the factors that make up a great smile, including the repair of any teeth needing attention and the steps needed to ensure that gums and teeth are healthy.

While cosmetic dentistry is considered elective treatment it often provides the patient with extensive dental health benefits.
