Dental Veneers In Plantation, FL: Smile More With Craig H. Etts, DDS

If you're unhappy with your smile, porcelain veneers may be the perfect solution for you.

Thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of your teeth, veneers can correct a variety of dental issues, including minor misalignment and spacing issues. They also boost smiling and speaking confidence, as they look very natural once in place, and they can last for 10 years or more with a dedicated oral hygiene routine!

How Are Veneers Made And Applied To Teeth?

Veneers are made of thin, strong porcelain that is color-matched to your natural tooth shade. After being designed in a dental lab, veneers are then bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth using a special adhesive.

The entire process usually takes two visits to your dentist's office - one for the initial consultation and one for the veneer placement.

During the first visit, your dentist will assess whether you are a good candidate for veneers and discuss the procedure with you in detail. If you decide to move forward, your teeth will be lightly buffed to create a smooth surface for the veneers to adhere to. Impressions will be taken of your teeth and sent to the dental lab, where your veneers will be custom-made.

At your second appointment, your dentist will check the fit of the veneers and make any necessary adjustments. Once you're happy with the look and feel of the veneers, they will be permanently bonded to your teeth.
