What are Porcelain Veneers?
A local Denver dental lab crafts thin, tooth-colored porcelain veneers to closely mimic the look and feel of real teeth. They are cemented onto the fronts of the teeth permanently and can last upwards of 10 years with proper care and oral hygiene. Front teeth veneers are incredibly durable and can provide you with a mouth full of gorgeous teeth that you don’t mind showing off.
Why do people get Veneers?
There are many different reasons people decide that getting porcelain dental veneers is for them. They are used to enhance the look of your teeth and can change your tooth’s color, size, shape, or length. Some of the reasons to get Veneers are:

- If you have teeth that are worn down, chipped, or broken and you want to change the look of them.
- If you have misaligned teeth, or irregular shaped teeth and want to make them look more uniform
- If you would like to close the gaps between teeth.

What is the procedure to get dental Veneers?
First, our dentists will take impressions of your teeth that will be sent out to create custom Veneers for you. Once the Veneers have come back the dentist will then examine its fit and color on your tooth. They ensure the veneer matches your teeth and smooth it for a perfect fit. After achieving the perfect fit and color match, the dentist cleans and polishes your natural teeth. The dentist will also etch your tooth’s surface which will give it a rough feel to allow the bonding material to strongly adhere to the tooth. After preparing the tooth, the dentist applies special bonding cement to the veneer and places it on the front surface of your teeth. A specialty light activates the bonding chemicals, speeding up the cement hardening process. Excess cement is removed, final adjustments are made, and you leave with a brighter, more secure smile.
