we care
about a healthy smile
The term “veneer,” a thin and beautiful decorative covering, was a phrase coined by the art world for centuries. It is so fitting, therefore, that modern technology has advanced to the point that dental veneers are truly works of art. In dental practice, veneers are extremely thin shells used to cover the teeth by being gently bonded to their surface. Technically, veneers can be created out of several different varieties of materials, but porcelain happens to be the most popular not only on account of its wonderfully realistic look, but because it is also so durable and strong.
Unlike dental crowns, porcelain veneers also do not require major removals of the surface of the original teeth. If you have one of these dental veneers in Chicago, you can expect to look in the mirror and smile when you see just how even, straight, and white they are.
Just a few types of issues we cover include:
- Discolored or stained teeth unable to be corrected through normal whitening treatments
- Worn teeth which are longer in their original shape, or have lost their sharpness
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Teeth with gaps or holes
- Irregularly shaped teeth or teeth that are uneven and unaligned
veneers
will help solve a range of problems
Some of our patients are worried that their teeth are in such poor condition that even veneers couldn’t fix them. We are here to tell you not to worry, since we cover a comprehensive range of problems.
Porcelain Veneers Procedure
In the process of fitting you with your perfect set of veneers, there are several steps which will take place:
- First, you will have an initial visit with the dentist in order to plan the best options for your unique needs from the huge variety of types of veneers, along with their shades and precise, natural colors.
- When you next return, the most minuscule layer of each tooth’s external enamel will be removed – you can even ask for anesthesia although it such a delicate process that most patients do not feel a thing.
- At this point, our dentist makes a precise mold of each of your teeth, which is then sent to a specialized dental laboratory, designed to make veneers that are exactly customized to your original set.
