Porcelain Veneers

What are teeth veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.

Placing custom teeth veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely, and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient’s smile.

Will dental veneers look like normal teeth?

When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

How durable are porcelain veneers?

With proper care, porcelain veneers will brighten your smile for well over a decade.

Refraining from using your veneers as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life, and if accidental breakage or damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.

Alternatives to Veneers

While veneers are the gold standard for a cosmetically beautiful smile, they can be costly and not always the best alternative for every patient.  At Bayfront Dental, we believe that all smiles are beautiful, and if veneers are not an option for you, consider many of the alternatives that Dr. Weiner and Dr. Light can provide for you, including Invisalign, whitening and resin bonding.

VENEERS
After years of tooth wear, this patient longed to restore his smile to the natural form and white color of his youth. We were thrilled to help him achieve this stunning transformation with 11 carefully crafted veneers across his upper arch. The result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile that brings back his youthful confidence!

VENEERS 
In this case, we chose a veneer instead of a crown for our patient’s lower incisor. Veneers offer a beautifully natural appearance while being durable and resilient. Unlike crowns, which require significant tooth reduction and place a “cap” over the tooth, veneers preserve more of the natural tooth structure.
