Yuma Porcelain Veneers

Looking for a quick and simple way to improve your smile? Porcelain veneers can correct many imperfections like a chip, small gap, an inconsistent shape, discoloration, or misalignment. Completed in only two appointments, the results can be quite dramatic in making over your smile.

Porcelain veneers are about the size of a fingernail. These very thin wafers of porcelain are bonded directly to the surface of your tooth to recreate the appearance. In some cases, a tiny bit of your tooth may need to be shaved so the veneer is undetectable. In this photograph, you'll see just how thin the veneers really are and how little is actually removed from your existing tooth.

Porcelain does an excellent job of duplicating your natural tooth structure. When placed by an expert cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers provide you with truly beautiful results. They are highly resistant to staining and since they are stronger than your tooth enamel, they can last for many years.

The Application Process for Porcelain Veneers

During the initial consultation, we will explain the procedure and help you decide exactly how you want your smile to look. Do you want to look younger or maybe more sophisticated? How much whiter do you want your teeth to look? These are very important and personal questions that only you can answer. We will help you determine a look that takes important factors like your face shape and tooth shading into account.

At your next visit, an impression of your teeth will be taken so your veneers can be customized uniquely for you. If you need to have any tooth preparation done, this will take place during this appointment and temporary veneers can be worn until your personalized veneers arrive from the laboratory.

You will visit us one more time for the placement of your new veneers. The dentist will fit them over your teeth so you can take a final look to make sure you are completely comfortable with how they look. Then it's time to have them bonded. Your teeth will be transformed into a smile you absolutely love!
