Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin dental restorations bonded to the front of teeth to enhance the esthetics of a smile. With porcelain veneers, Dr. Kirkpatrick can make a smile appear brighter, shapelier, and more uniform. Typically, we can design and place porcelain veneers in just two or three visits.
Today’s porcelain veneers are made from highly-esthetic materials that look and feel like natural teeth. High-quality, semi-translucent dental porcelain reflects light similar to natural tooth enamel. Thin layers of porcelain are strong, durable, and stain-resistant for a smile with lasting appeal.
At your initial consultation, Dr. Kirkpatrick will discuss your goals and concerns with you, and then design veneers that match your personality and lifestyle. With porcelain veneers, chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and slight misalignments become a thing of the past. In some cases, Dr. Kirkpatrick may recommend crowns or teeth whitening in tandem with porcelain veneers for the best result.
