Veneers are a wonderful option to improve the look of teeth that are permanently discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, misshapen, or misaligned. Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells made of either porcelain or ceramic, and they cover the surface of your natural tooth. When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, porcelain veneers are one of the easiest and least invasive ways to transform your smile.
A good veneer candidate is someone who is displeased with the color, shape, look or feel of one or many teeth. A veneer may be recommended after trauma to the tooth, or because of daily wear and tear. Veneers are usually placed on the front teeth, as that is where most cosmetic concern comes from.

The procedure itself is relatively simple. One of its advantages is the fact that we only have to do minimal preparation to your teeth. We will remove about a half of a millimeter of enamel from the surface of the tooth, and then bond the veneer onto the tooth. The fit and color will be examined by the dentist before permanently cementing the veneer. One tooth or many teeth can simultaneously undergo the veneering process.
Veneers generally last between 7 and 15 years. After this time, the veneers would need to be replaced.
The doctors at Pinnacle Dentistry will customize each veneer to perfectly fit in your mouth, creating a natural and even look. The final result is a smooth, authentic, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
