Dental Procedures/Before After Photos

Porcelain Veneers (or Laminates)-Porcelain veneers are thin custom made pieces of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Generally a very small amount of tooth removal is required before placing the veneers. Using veneers allows us to modify the size, shape and color of your teeth to dramatically improve their appearance or give you a "perfect smile" if you desire. See the before and after photos below for an example of our work and what type of things can be done. The number of veneers needed is dependent on what is being done.

Sample Before Veneers

Same Sample After Veneers

This is my favorite cosmetic case. This patient had composite veneers placed by another dentist on her front 6 teeth. While I am sure there was an improvement, the front 2 teeth are too large compared to the others, there is too much gum showing when she smiles and the teeth are not straight enough horizontally.

A small amount of gum was removed, 8 porcelain veneers were placed and I think you will find the results to be dramatic.

The next 2 before and after photos are basic smile makeovers with 8 porcelain veneers being placed to change the shape, size and color of the existing teeth, as well as close any spaces.

Once again porcelain veneers can be made to match existing tooth color, or they can be made as white as a patient would like.
