What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are very strong, thin shells of porcelain that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile while making your teeth stronger. Many patients prefer veneers because they require such minimal tooth reduction compared to a crown. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail. We place veneers routinely, and design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient's smile.

Will they look like normal teeth?
When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.

How durable are porcelain veneers?
With proper care, porcelain veneers will brighten your smile for well over a decade. Dr. Crane will ensure that your veneers are crafted from the highest quality porcelains and are bonded with the most advanced and proven materials available.

How are they applied?
Porcelain veneers only require two visits. At the first visit the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken and an attractive temporary veneer is placed. At the second visit, the veneer is bonded to the tooth.
