Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers in Lancaster, PA from Dr Poole can instantly correct various dental concerns, including crooked teeth, misshapen teeth, unwanted spaces between the teeth, worn or chipped teeth and discolored or stained teeth.

Often times, these thin but durable porcelain veneers can be placed with little or no preparation of the teeth. This means anesthesia is often not needed for this procedure. Also, this means that temporary veneers are often not needed.

When the teeth have been prepared to the proper shape, an impression is taken. The dental ceramist (using Dr. Poole’s instructions and designs) then fabricates the restorations in one to two weeks.

At the cementation appointment, the teeth are gently cleaned and the veneers are bonded to the teeth. After being polished and the bite perfected the veneers are ready for years of smile enhancement for the patient.

More Information About Dental Veneers:

Porcelain veneers are used to improve the appearance of teeth. They are also called dental porcelain laminates or dental veneers. The veneers are very thin, custom-made covers for your teeth. The porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface and permit the tooth to be changed in terms of size, length, shape and color.

Veneers typically last between 5 and 10 years before needing to be replaced. During the time the veneers are in place, good oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing are just as important.
