At Durango Family Dentistry, Dr. Whitman understands that a flawed smile can affect a patient’s life on social, emotional and professional levels. Fortunately, patients don’t have to suffer with lackluster or flawed smiles. With cosmetic dental procedures, Dr. Whitman and our team can help you achieve a smile that will boost your confidence and self-esteem. Porcelain veneers are one way that we can enhance your appearance.
How Porcelain Veneers Improve Smiles
The process of creating a stunning smile transformation with veneers is non-invasive and usually only requires two office visits. Veneers are constructed from fine, high-quality porcelain and are made in a dental laboratory just for you. A veneer is a shell-like, tooth-shaped piece of porcelain that will be bonded to the front side of a tooth. Once our team has determined that porcelain veneers are right for your needs, Dr. Whitman will take impressions of your teeth to evaluate the precise specifications needed to create your veneers.
Veneers are a permanent cosmetic enhancement. Because of the care Dr. Whitman takes to ensure that each veneer fits each tooth properly and because of the materials used to construct them, veneers will look natural. Porcelain has properties that are very similar to the natural composition of a tooth and even reflects light the way a tooth does. Veneers are also very resistant to stains.
After receiving veneers, patients enjoy a straight, beautiful smile. Many patients experience emotional and psychological benefits as well because they are no longer embarrassed or self-conscious about their smiles.
