Porcelain Veneers
Patients who are unhappy with the color, shape, or size of their teeth may benefit from veneers. Veneers are created from materials such as porcelain in order to maintain a natural, beautiful appearance. They are fabricated through a professional laboratory to be made extremely thin in order to be placed over the top of a patient's natural tooth or teeth.

A professional laboratory fabricates these veneers which are then bonded over the existing tooth structures.
