What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from durable ceramic materials that mimic the natural translucency of tooth enamel. Designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, veneers can correct:
- Stained or Discolored Teeth – Resistant to coffee, tea, and wine stains.
- Chipped or Cracked Teeth – Restores shape and strength.
- Gaps Between Teeth – Closes minor spaces without orthodontics.
- Mild Misalignment – Creates the appearance of straight teeth.
- Uneven or Worn Teeth – Restores balance and symmetry.
At Halsted Street Dental, Dr. Paige Poisson and Dr. Tiffany Chen personalize your treatment to match your facial aesthetics, ensuring a natural, radiant smile.
The Veneers Process at Halsted Street Dental
Our veneer treatment is simple, comfortable, and effective. Here’s what to expect:
1. Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive smile evaluation. We discuss your goals, assess your oral health, and determine if veneers are the right solution.
2. Custom Smile Design
Using advanced digital scanning, we take precise impressions of your teeth. This allows us to create veneers that fit perfectly and complement your facial features.
3. Minimal Tooth Preparation
To ensure a natural look and feel, we gently remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth. This makes space for the veneers to sit flush and blend seamlessly.
4. Temporary Veneers
While your custom veneers are being crafted, we provide temporary veneers to protect your teeth and give you a preview of your new smile.
5. Final Placement and Smile Reveal
Once your veneers are ready, we bond them securely to your teeth using strong, long-lasting dental adhesives. The result is a stunning, durable smile that can last over 10-15 years with proper care.
