Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers: They are composed of high-quality ceramic that matches the shade of surrounding teeth to provide a natural look of your smile. This is one of the commonly used cosmetic dentistry solutions that can be individually customized for your teeth. This method is considered a minimal-prep procedure, which means that the majority of the existing tooth structure is preserved to achieve a lasting smile.
Lumineers®: It is one of the brands that can improve the appearance of your smile with a treatment which can minimize the time of procedure and enhances comfort. This procedure requires minimal tooth preparation or no tooth preparation.
Composite Resin: Composite veneers provide most of the same cosmetic benefits as porcelain veneers which include chips, gaps, cracks and discoloration. These veneers are low cost but allow you to achieve a beautiful smile, however, they don’t last long as porcelain veneers.
CEREC® Veneers: This option allows dentists to create and design custom veneers using an in-office milling unit. Thus, you may not have to wait for the veneers to be manufactured. The process is quick and convenient to improve the appearance of your smile in just one office visit.
Zirconia: These veneers are an ideal option when the teeth are severely damaged and decayed. The restoration is stronger than the traditional porcelain veneers. As the material is extremely durable, this treatment is usually used for the back teeth, where the material strength can prevent premature wear.
