The Most Versatile Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure

Anchorage dentists Dr. Kendall Skinner, and Dr. Mike Fox are up to date with the latest developments in cosmetic, including the latest dental materials and procedures. We offer provisional tooth whitening, tooth colored fillings, cosmetic bonding, and many other procedures to improve your smile’s appearance. However, in many cases, the best, custom option to redesign a smile is porcelain veneers. Each set of porcelain dental veneers is handcrafted by one of the best ceramists in the world with custom shading for a unique, natural look that will complement your overall appearance. Often these can provide a completely improved and dazzling smile in just a few appointments.

What Porcelain Veneers Can Do

As we mentioned above, porcelain veneers are a very flexible treatment. They can help with many common complaints you may have about the appearance of your smile. Porcelain veneers can fix:

  • Chipped teeth
  • Discolored teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Short teeth
  • Worn teeth
  • Crooked teeth

We can give your smile a completely new appearance with porcelain veneers. You have your choice about whether you want to restore the smile of your youth or enjoy an entirely new smile.

The Porcelain Veneer Procedure

The actual treatment usually involves only two visits. The number of pre-operative visits, to work out details to insure predictable results, depends on the complexity of your situation and the changes you desire. There usually is also a follow up visit or two for final adjustments and polishing your dental veneers, and to review instructions for care of your new porcelain veneers to insure they last years and years.

How Long Do Veneers Last?

As we mentioned, porcelain veneers are very durable. Although we call them “porcelain,” they’re actually made of advanced ceramics that are described as porcelain because they are white and translucent like porcelain. But modern materials mean porcelain veneers can be ten times as strong as your teeth enamel or more.

With this great strength and proper fitting by a skilled cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers can last a long time. Studies show that more than 95% of veneers are intact and in place after 11 years.
