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:
