At Integrated Dental by Espire, our doctors provide porcelain veneers to address a variety of cosmetic and dental health related concerns. If you are interested in finding out what porcelain veneers can do for your smile, one of our experienced cosmetic dentists will sit down with you for a cosmetic consultation where you will talk about the goals you have for your smile. If veneers seem like a good choice, the next step includes a thorough examination of your teeth to determine whether you have strong enough enamel to support veneers. Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry service that Integrated Dental by Espire provides to the public.
Porcelain Veneers in Greeley, CO
Often called an “instant smile makeover”, these thin shells of dental porcelain are affixed directly to the front of your teeth and can mask a wide range of flaws including:
- Chipped teeth or teeth with minor breakage.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Awkwardly spaced teeth.
- Misshaped teeth.
- Short teeth and teeth of uneven length.
- Stains and discolorations that do not respond to teeth whitening treatments.
About the Porcelain Veneer Procedure
Porcelain veneers generally take 2 – 3 visits to complete. After a comprehensive evaluation and consultation, your dentist will prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of enamel from each tooth. An impression will be taken and you will be fitted with temporary veneers while your final restorations are being created. In approximately 2–3 weeks, your new porcelain veneers will be ready to be permanently attached to your teeth. After the dentist checks the fit and color and both you and the dentist are satisfied, a special bonding cement will be used to secure the porcelain veneers to your teeth.
Same Day Dentistry
In many cases, Integrated Dental by Espire can provide same-day dental veneers using E4D technology. Using highly accurate digital impressions, our dentists can design, fabricate and place custom fit and color matched porcelain veneers in ONE visit to Integrated Dental by Espire.
Minimal Prep Veneers
Many patients prefer not to have their enamel reduced and have the option of minimal-preparation veneers. This type of veneer is constructed of the same dental porcelain as traditional veneers, but of a thickness comparable to that of a contact lens. In some cases, placing this type of veneer requires no enamel preparation at all. However, because they are ultra-thin, minimal-prep veneers are not appropriate for certain cosmetic concerns such as moderate stains.
