Porcelain Veneers

Dental Veneers in Albuquerque, NM

What Are Dental Veneers?

Dental Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth.  They are one of the most effective ways to create a beautiful smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility.  Many people confuse dental veneers with dental crowns, but they are quite different.  Dental crowns are typically used to restore or protect a tooth structure while veneers are only placed on the small front area of the tooth.

Dental Veneers Can Fix Many Problems

Tooth Veneer Process

Getting dental veneers typically requires three trips to the dentist. If you are getting more than one tooth veneer done at a time, you can usually take care of them all in the same three visits. Your first visit will be a consultation. This is an opportunity for you to talk to our caring and qualified cosmetic dentist about what you are hoping the dental veneers can do for you and for you to ask any questions you may have before the process starts. On your second visit, the dentist will prepare your teeth for the porcelain veneers and take a mold. On the third visit, your new dental veneers will be bonded to your teeth and you’ll be all set with a brand new smile.

How Long Do Dental Veneers Last?

With proper care, your veneers will brighten your smile for well over a decade. We will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelain and are bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available.

Refraining from using your veneer – covered teeth as tools to open and cut things will prolong their life, and if accidental breakage or damage occurs, it is usually possible to replace only the veneer involved.
