Porcelain veneers and your smile

When teeth require significant changes in their shape or contour, veneers may be the answer.  By placing veneers, small or misshapen teeth can be built up to regain a more natural appearance, spaces between teeth can be closed by making the teeth wider and teeth that are too short can be lengthened.

The veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a fingernail.  Once it is "bonded" onto the tooth it becomes extremely strong.  We also blend the veneer in with the remaining tooth structure so that it is unnoticeable to the naked-eye.  Once in place, it looks, feels, and functions just like a regular tooth.

At Summit Square Dentistry we can use porcelain veneers to change the shape and color of a single tooth or, if necessary, revamp an entire smile.  Porcelain veneers can also be used to correct teeth that have been worn from clenching and grinding.

Please call us at (262) 544-0171 for consultation.  You may ask any of our professional team questions you have about the benefits of porcelain veneers.
