Your bright, happy smile is one of your most precious attributes. But, as we go through life, your smile finds lots of enemies that can make it a pale imitation of the original. Discolored or chipped teeth, teeth that are pitted, misaligned, or simply crooked are among the most common conditions that may make you self-conscious about your smile. Of course, the only way to hide you teeth is to not smile which is hardly an option.
Porcelain veneers could be the answer. Veneers are super-strong, ultra-thin pieces of sculpted porcelain that fit over the front of your teeth. They're extremely durable and easy to maintain. What can take months or years of wearing braces can be corrected with veneers in as little as two to three office visits. If you're ever tempted to hide your smile. please come and see us for a consultation.

My lower front teeth before and after 6 veneers. Why wear braces for a year, and wear retainers in-definitely, when I had this done in two one-hour visits, two weeks apart. I have had no drifting since I placed the Porcelain Veneers and wear no retainer.
