Dental Veneers

Have you ever wanted to improve the look of your teeth without using braces or inserting crowns? Dental Veneers now make it possible to instantly create that confidence-giving smile you have always desired. What are dental veneers ? Dental veneers are very thin pieces of specially shaped porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth to change the shape or color of the teeth. Teeth that are either too small, too big or have uneven surfaces are good candidates for dental veneers .

Here at Mona Lisa Smiles we use dental veneers to solve irregularities such as chipped or broken teeth, spaces between the teeth (diastemas), stained or washed out fillings, oddly shaped or crooked teeth and dark yellow or stained teeth.

Often an alternative to crowns, dental veneers require little or no anesthesia, and because of their life-like appearance they offer several advantages:

• Not much of the tooth is required to be removed for the dental veneer procedure
  
• Dental veneers typically cost less than crowns
  
• They do not stain
  
• Dental veneers are strong and durable, lasting between ten and fifteen years
  
• They have a more natural, aesthetic look than crowns

The process of bonding dental veneers is fairly straightforward. Our dentists here at Mona Lisa Smiles will first establish with you what can or cannot be done using dental veneers . After the dental veneers have been bonded into place, a follow up visit is required within a week. The results are instant and spectacular and we can usually give you that smile you have always wanted.
