Porcelain Veneers and Your Smile

What would you like to change about your smile? Porcelains veneers are able to conceal a myriad of cosmetic flaws. Perhaps you have a couple of teeth that are chipped or broken. Others may be misshaped, proportionally smaller than your other teeth or slightly crooked. What about teeth that have unsightly gaps between them? Porcelain veneers can eliminate all of these imperfections over the course of only two appointments with your cosmetic dentist in Waterbury.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

As the name suggests, porcelain or dental veneers are coverings that are adhesively attached to the surfaces of teeth to create a more attractive smile. A skilled ceramist at our cosmetic dental lab handcrafts each veneer, so your teeth look completely natural. Actually with porcelain veneers, you teeth look better than the ones Mother Nature supplies. Your smile will be ready for the red carpet after you receive porcelain veneers in Waterbury!

Porcelain Veneers Step-by-Step

As mentioned earlier, placing veneers usually only requires two appointments. Before these visits, however, our dentists will want to consult with you in order to find out exactly what you hope to achieve with your porcelain veneer smile. We’ll also need to examine your teeth gums and take digital x-rays and photos of your teeth and mouth in order to plan your new smile.

Then, at your first appointment, your Waterbury dentist will administer a local anesthetic before gently removing a slim layer of tooth enamel. This step is needed to ensure that your porcelain veneers adhere securely to the surfaces of your teeth and look even in your mouth. We don’t want your teeth to look too large or to protrude. Once this is completed, a temporary set of veneers will be placed to protect your prepared teeth. This set will also give you some time to get accustomed to the look and feel of veneers.

When your permanent veneers arrive from the lab, you’ll return to Waterbury Smiles. The dentist will make sure each veneer is just the right size, color and shape. Then they are bonded into place and you have a new, Academy Award winning smile!
