Veneers cover the front of your teeth with very thin pieces of porcelain, which are attached by a cement to improve the color or shape of your teeth. Veneers help to resolve uneven tooth surfaces, chipped teeth, uneven spaces or gaps, or permanent discoloration. Veneers are durable and long-lasting. The material is less porous than natural teeth, so they are more resistant to staining from coffee, smoking, or other substances.

The process of obtaining veneers from your dentist in or around LOWELL, DRACUT, METHUEN, TYNGSBOROUGH, PELHAM, LAWRENCE, BOSTON, MATTAPAN, HYDE PARK, ROSLINDALE, MILTON, NEW BEDFORD, FAIRHAVEN, MATTAPOISETT, ACUSHNET, ROCHESTER, MARION begins with a consultation to identify your concerns and whether they can be resolved with veneers. Once it is determined that you will proceed with the veneer treatment, a preparation visit is scheduled. This appointment is generally 1-2 hours. Your teeth are buffed lightly to prepare for the added thickness of the veneers. During the buffing, approximately ½ millimeter of the tooth is removed. A local anesthetic is utilized to ensure you are comfortable during this procedure. Next, a mold of your teeth is created, which is then sent to a quality dental laboratory to custom manufacture the veneers to match your teeth perfectly.
