Porcelain Veneers in Amesbury, MA

Dental veneers- Amesbury Dental Associates

Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth shaped porcelain that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.

Veneers can completely reshape your teeth and smile. They can often be alternatives to crowns and the ideal solution in treating many dental conditions.

As with most dental restorations, veneers are not permanent and may someday need replacement. However, porcelain veneers in Amesbury, MA, are highly durable and can last for many years, giving you a long-lasting, confident smile.

What to Expect When Getting Porcelain Veneers in Amesbury, MA?

1

First Visit - Getting veneers usually requires two visits to complete the process, with little or no anesthesia required during the procedure. The teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the surface to allow for the thickness of the veneer.

2

Impression Taking - A mold or impression of the teeth is taken, and a shade (color) will then be chosen by you and the dentist.

3

Second Visit - On the second visit, the teeth will be cleansed with special liquids to achieve a durable bond. Bonding cement is then placed between the tooth and veneer and a special light beam is used to harden and set the bond.

4

Aftercare - You will receive care instructions for veneers. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new veneers.
