Porcelain veneers are very conservative esthetic dental restorations. They offer vitality and beauty that is so life-like that people will believe they are your natural teeth. At the same time, porcelain veneers are incredibly strong. When bonded with today’s adhesive technology and procedures, they can increase and restore a tooth’s strength. Generally, a veneer can correct or enhance any cosmetic situation. A thin layer of the tooth is removed to allow a custom porcelain tooth facing to be bonded to the tooth.
This allows us to lighten dark or discolored teeth, fix fractured or chipped teeth, and straighten crooked or misaligned teeth without the need for braces. It can also close gaps and increase the length and size of teeth that have worn down with time. Amazingly, all of this can usually be accomplished in only two visits.
Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. Dr. Pulsipher places veneers routinely, and designs each case individually to match and enhance characteristics already present in each patient's teeth.
