| Porcelain Veneers |
| A porcelain veneer is a thin casing of ceramic material that is cemented over the natural tooth surface. Porcelain veneers are resistant to food, coffee, tea, and cigarettes stains. Dr. Rasi first prepares the tooth by grinding off half a millimeter of the natural tooth, to allow for the thickness of the veneer. Dr. Rasi then takes an impression of the tooth, and the impression is sent to the lab for fabrication. Once the veneer is complete, Dr. Rasi will permanently the cement the veneer to the natural tooth.
Veneers are ideal for fixing discolorations, irregularities and imperfections. Porcelain veneers are also great substitutions for crowns for the front teeth. The procedure for fitting and cementing the veneer requires little to no anesthesia. With proper care, your veneer can last for years. |
