Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain fixed onto teeth to enhance appearance, and protect the teeth. Veneers allow many patients to achieve a dramatic smile makeover without highly invasive treatments. The results are also durable, lasting 10-30 years.
Veneers typically require 2-3 appointments. The first is a consultation to determine the desired look, and plan the shape of the veneers required to achieve that look.
During the second visit, the surface of the teeth will be prepared, by removing a very thin layer of enamel, and taking impressions of the teeth. Using these impressions, veneers are fabricate to fit onto the surface.
On the third visit, Dr. Shinkaruk will apply a cleaning solution to prepare the surface of the teeth for bonding, and the permanent veneers will be cemented.
