Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of tooth colored materials created to improve your teeth’s appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth and can change their size, color, shape, or length. Veneers cover problems like fractures and chips, discoloration, and gaps. Veneers are designed to change a tooth’s appearance completely, giving your teeth a more uniform look.
Our veneers are hand-crafted by skilled technicians at a trusted dental laboratory. We have worked with this lab for more than 15 years, and we can trust them to translate Dr. Deborah Campbell’s instructions into a beautiful reality. The technician will first create a model of your teeth from your dental impressions. Veneers are crafted by building up layers of porcelain inside this model, using a high level of heat and pressure to add to the strength and durability of the material. Each layer will be hand painted to the exact specifications of your smile design plan so that they will blend in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Visiting World Class Family Dentistry and asking about veneers is the first step in determining if veneers are the right option for you, or if there are alternate solutions available.
Materials
The most common material used to make veneers is porcelain. Porcelain veneers are the best way to correct issues of shape or color and in some cases can last up to 20 years. They can cost anywhere from $800 to $2,000 per tooth. This can be a major expense for most consumers, so it’s important to know they will need to be replaced eventually.
