What are Dental Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of your teeth.  You can get one to enhance the look of one tooth or you can get many to enhance your overall smile. They're made by dental technicians, usually in a dental lab, working from a model of your teeth.

Veneers can be used to fix gaps in your teeth or teeth that are stained, badly shaped or crooked. Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile with minimal visits.

It is a simple procedure, and it usually takes only a couple of appointments. First, we would need to take some impressions of your teeth and create dental models. We use the models to plan the shape, thickness, and color of the veneers. Next, we would have the veneers created in a dental lab. Finally, we would prepare your teeth and deliver the veneers. You walk out the door with a great smile, without the need of extensive work and in only a few appointments.

We recommend that you avoid some foods and beverages that may stain or discolor your veneers such as coffee, tea or red wine. Sometimes a veneer might chip or fracture and this can easily be fixed. For many people the results are more than worth it.

If you have any questions about veneers or to schedule an appointment call our friendly staff to schedule at (305)385-5555 or visit our website at www.BlochDentistry.com. We want to see you smile!
