New Jersey Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can dramatically change the appearance of your teeth, creating a complete smile makeover in a few visits. Porcelain veneers look more like your natural teeth than any other cosmetic dentistry procedure, if performed by an expert cosmetic dentist. They can mask dark stains, change the color, size, and texture of teeth. Porcelain veneers can close gaps, strengthen teeth, and straighten them, creating instant orthodontics.

Porcelain Veneers Procedure

A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that fits over the front of the tooth and is bonded in place. A very thin layer of enamel is removed to prepare the tooth and make room for the porcelain veneer, so the teeth don't appear bulky. The argon curing laser is utilized to bond the veneer to the tooth, creating a stronger, lasting bond. Porcelain veneers are actually a more conservative treatment than porcelain crowns, because more of the natural tooth structure is preserved.

Dr. Allyson Hurley can work with you to create a smile design suitable for your face shape, features, and personality. Porcelain veneers can be shaped to make you look younger or more sophisticated, and can even be built out to help erase the tiny wrinkles around the upper lip. With porcelain veneers, dramatic changes like those in the following photos can be accomplished in a few as two visits.
