Whether you have chipped, stained, or misaligned teeth, our porcelain veneers can help you achieve the flawless, natural-looking smile you've always wanted.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-designed shells made from high-quality dental porcelain. These veneers are meticulously crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting a wide range of cosmetic imperfections. The result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile that enhances your overall appearance.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

  • Natural Aesthetic: Porcelain veneers mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, providing a realistic, luminous smile.
  • Durability: With proper care, porcelain veneers are highly durable and can last for many years without discoloration or wear.
  • Stain Resistance: Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers resist stains from coffee, tea, wine, and other common culprits.
  • Customizable: Each veneer is tailored to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a harmonious and personalized result.
  • Versatility: Veneers can correct multiple cosmetic issues, including chips, cracks, gaps, discoloration, and minor misalignment.

Who Can Benefit from Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile with a minimally invasive procedure. You may be a good candidate for veneers if you have:

  • Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Veneers can cover and protect minor damage, restoring the tooth's original appearance.
  • Stained or Discolored Teeth: If your teeth are resistant to whitening treatments, veneers can provide a bright, white smile.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Veneers can close small gaps and create a more uniform smile.
  • Misaligned or Uneven Teeth: For minor alignment issues, veneers can offer a straighter appearance without the need for braces.

The Porcelain Veneer Process at Advanced Dental Services

At Advanced Dental Services, we take pride in our meticulous approach to designing and placing porcelain veneers. Here’s what you can expect during your veneer treatment:

1. Initial Consultation and Smile Design

Your journey to a stunning smile begins with a comprehensive consultation:

  • Assessment: Dr. Kleven will evaluate your teeth and discuss your aesthetic goals, ensuring that veneers are the right choice for you.
  • Digital Imaging: Using advanced imaging technology, we can provide a preview of how your new smile will look, allowing you to visualize the potential results.
  • Customized Treatment Plan: Based on your preferences and dental needs, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to achieve your desired outcome.

2. Tooth Preparation

To prepare your teeth for veneers:

  • Minimal Enamel Removal: A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front surface of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This ensures a natural, flush fit.
  • Impressions: We take precise impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a specialized dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted.

3. Veneer Placement

Once your veneers are ready:

  • Fitting: Dr. Kleven will carefully place the veneers on your teeth to check the fit and color. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure perfection.
  • Bonding: The veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth using a strong adhesive and a special curing light. This creates a secure, long-lasting bond.
  • Final Polishing: After the veneers are bonded, they are polished to give them a smooth, natural appearance.

4. Follow-Up Care and Maintenance

Caring for your porcelain veneers is simple:

  • Good Oral Hygiene: Maintain regular brushing and flossing to keep your veneers and surrounding teeth healthy.
  • Routine Dental Visits: Regular check-ups with Dr. Kleven will help ensure your veneers remain in excellent condition.
  • Avoiding Excessive Force: While durable, veneers can be damaged by habits like nail-biting or chewing on hard objects. It’s important to avoid these behaviors to protect your veneers.
