Our smile is one of the first thing people notice about us. If you have dental flaws and are embarrassed by your smile, porcelain veneers may be the answer. With advances in technology and technique, what used to be lengthy, painful procedures, can now be achieved in a few short, pain-free visits to the dentist.

There are a number of flaws that can be fixed and perfected with porcelain veneers, such as:
• Chipped teeth
• Cracked teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Gaps
• Misshaped teeth

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of teeth. They are translucent, are virtually unnoticeable and look very natural. Porcelain bonds are also very resistant to staining. Previous materials used in dental bonding procedures did not have this natural look, and were very susceptible to staining, especially in patients who drink coffee, tea or red wine, and those who use tobacco products.
