Dental Veneer
A veneer is a custom-made overlay that can be used to correct your smile that may have slightly misshapen, cracked, chipped or darkened teeth.
What to expect
Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth in order to customize the fit and size to your smile. The impression will then be sent to a lab to make the veneer. A small portion of your tooth’s enamel will be removed in order to bond the veneer with your tooth.
After the procedure
After time, the veneers may need to be replaced. Routine professional cleanings, brushing and flossing will help to extend the length of your veneers.
