Veneers are custom, porcelain
facings that are bonded to the front surfaces of
teeth to whiten teeth, close spaces, straighten
teeth, or repair chipped or worn teeth. The veneers
are only about 1 mm thick (the thickness of a fingernail).
That same thickness is "shaved" off the
natural tooth surface so when the veneer is bonded
to the tooth, the tooth doesn't feel or look "thicker".
Before: Discoloration on front teeth and
teeth are uneven in length.
After: Veneers return the natural, healthy
glow! Teeth are now lengthened evenly.
Here is an example of what porcelain veneers did for
the smile of one of Dr. Patelski's patients:
