Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers can do wonders to brighten your smile, with quick results for an “instant” smile makeover. Porcelain veneers, or laminates, are thin shells of porcelain designed to fit directly over your natural teeth. Bonded with advanced techniques that often are not taught in dental schools, they create a whiter, brighter, younger smile that you will be proud to show off. No more hiding your smile!
Their application is painless and easy, and can be completed in as few as two visits. It usually, but not always, involves shaving a small amount of enamel, about the thickness of a fingernail, from the front of the tooth, as shown in the diagram to the left. A master ceramist then makes them according to Dr. Cohen’s prescription for shade and shape. In the second appointment, they are bonded to your teeth, and you have a beautiful new smile!
Dr. Cohen can fix a wide variety of problems with porcelain veneers, including chips, cracks, gaps, crookedness, discoloration, and size inconsistencies. Many of our patients choose them as a convenient and affordable alternative to time-consuming orthodontic treatment.
