Typically bonding will last 5-8 years and can be easily redone. Veneers are the latest advancement in porcelain dentistry to enhance the shape of your teeth, close unattractive spaces and brighten your smile to ultimate whiteness. Used often in place of crowns, veneers provide a conservative, natural-looking smile without the potential chipping and staining that may occur with bonding. The materials are strong with longevity averaging 10-20 years. At that time you can replace the veneers.
Veneers require two appointments.
The first appointment involves the shaping of the tooth with a minimal amount of tooth structure removed. Impressions are then taken and temporary veneers are fabricated and placed on your teeth. After we agree upon your desired tooth-shape, the dental laboratory will design your veneers. A second appointment is necessary two weeks later to adhere the porcelain veneers to your teeth. 757 Cleveland Avenue So.
