Porcelain Veneers in Aurora, CO

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that are used to cover the front surface of a tooth. This treatment is used on teeth that have significant imperfections, such as chips, cracks, stains, or gaps. Porcelain veneers can cover all of these issues at once, helping patients gain a new smile.

How Are Porcelain Veneers Placed?

Before placing veneers, the dentist in Aurora, CO will first need to prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from the tooth surface. This ensures that the veneers do not look bulky and unnatural on the mouth. Once the teeth have been prepared, impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab. They will make a model of your teeth to help in fabricating the veneers. Meanwhile, we will place temporary veneers on your prepared teeth until your final restorations arrive.

When your permanent veneers are ready, you will have to come in to get the temporary ones removed and bond the permanent restorations into place. It will then be time to say goodbye to any imperfections!
