Denver Porcelain Veneers

Our smile has such a strong affect on our appearance, and unfortunately, due to chipped, discolored, or slightly crooked teeth, the affect isn't always a positive one. Many people are ashamed of their smile and even cover it up when they laugh or smile. If that's you, we have the answer in porcelain veneers.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that can be affixed to your natural tooth structure to give each tooth a fresh, movie-star-quality look and feel. The porcelain is a strong material that feels and functions like a normal tooth.

Your Teeth And Porcelain Veneers ? A Match Made In Heaven

When you come in for a porcelain veneers consultation, we'll discuss what your goals are for your smile. We'll make recommendations as to what we think will make for a stellar smile, and then you get to make the call as to what we do.

Next, we discuss the look of the porcelain veneers. There are a variety of options:

• The shape of your porcelain veneers ? Check out the LVI Smile Catalog
• The shade of your porcelain veneers ? How white do you want your smile to be?
• The opacity of your porcelain veneers ? a trick to making your porcelain veneers look natural, not like "Chiclet" teeth.

Next, Dr. Berry will prepare your teeth for the porcelain veneers by removing a small amount of the surface of each tooth that is receiving a porcelain veneer. The process is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel any pain.

When your teeth are prepped, Dr. Berry and his team will take impressions of your teeth to send to the lab so they know how your teeth are shaped. That way, each porcelain veneer will fit perfectly.

Temporary Veneers

While the dental lab is hand-crafting your porcelain veneers, you will wear temporary veneers that Dr. Berry will fit you with during your first visit at your office. Patients find that even the temporary veneers have a powerful affect on how their smile looks and how they feel about themselves. The temporary veneers are not as strong as normal teeth, so you will need to be careful about what you eat. Dr. Berry and his team will instruct you on how to care for your teeth while wearing the temporary veneers.

Getting Your Permanent Porcelain Veneers

When your porcelain veneers arrive back from the lab, you will come in for a second appointment to seat the permanent porcelain veneers. Dr. Berry will carefully remove the temporary veneers and will try on the permanent porcelain veneers so that you can see how they look. When patients first see themselves with their new smile, it's not uncommon for them to be moved to tears. The change is that powerful.

Dr. Berry will then cement the porcelain veneers in place using a strong dental adhesive that is light-cured. Dr. Berry will then check your bite to make sure that the occlusion is still sound. After that, you're free to enjoy your new smile!
