Veneers

Your smile could be transformed in 2 weeks for most cases with veneers! Porcelain veneers are a thin, semi-translucent laminate permanently bonded to your teeth. While they’re not suitable for every patient, porcelain veneers are the most aesthetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions involving the front teeth, including:

• Diastemas (spaces between teeth)

• Broken or chipped teeth

• Unsightly, stained or washed out fillings

• Permanently stained or discolored teeth that can’t be bleached

• Crooked teeth

At the first appointment with Dr. Nguyen, the teeth are prepared for the dental veneers and an impression is taken. This impression is then sent to a lab where each porcelain veneer is custom made to the Dr. Nguyen's specifications. Beautiful temporaries (temporary dental veneers) are fabricated to simulate your new smile so you can expect to leave the first appointment looking better than when you came in. At the second appointment the new porcelain veneers are permanently adhered to the natural teeth.

Your veneers will look great and are extremely durable. However, once porcelain veneers are applied just treat them like natural teeth. Dr. Nguyen will recommend that you avoid certain foods and beverages as they may stain your veneers, like coffee and red wine. Behaviors such as nail biting, opening bobby pins, and chewing on hard objects should be avoided and maintaining regular oral hygiene is essential to ensuring your new cosmetic veneers will look as good as new.
