Porcelain Veneers

Many adults have worked hard to create a professional, mature image, and metal braces would detract from their persona. So what is an adult who wants straighter teeth to do? Consider porcelain veneers to permanently mask crooked, malformed, or chipped teeth. Veneers also hide gaps, and they can create an entirely new shape for your smile.

Fabricated wafer thin, veneers are porcelain shells that a dentist adheres to the patient's prepared teeth. Porcelain veneers are so lifelike that they are virtually undetectable once our dentists place them, and can last many years with proper care.

The porcelain veneer process will usually take two visits. First, Dr. Porter, Dr. McCabe, or Dr. Gonzalez will evaluate your facial features and natural tooth structure so that the veneers we place will complement your individual look. If you'd like whiter teeth along with porcelain veneers, we may recommend brightening your overall smile with teeth bleaching. Then, your dentist will prepare your teeth, take impressions, and affix your temporary veneers. Once a specialized dental lab has completed the custom veneers to the dentist's specifications, you'll come in for a second visit to have your permanent veneers placed.

With two convenient locations in Sarasota, Florida, Meadows Dental and Laurel Ridge Dental are the preferred choice for patients who want superior general dentistry, preventive dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry to build a beautiful, healthy smile.
