What are porcelain veneers?
Porcelain veneers are very thin porcelain facings. They are used to change the shape, color, size and spacing of your teeth. They have a lifelike appearance with the strength, beauty and durability that only porcelain restorations offer. In addition, they will not discolor or wear like natural tooth enamel. Meticulous records, measurements and photographs are used to evaluate your smile needs and determine what it will take to produce a perfect smile for you.
Success Story - Tonya Gill
"I had a gap between my two front teeth, and the
teeth on either side of my front teeth were small.
When I was younger it wasn’t really a concern,
but as I got older I became more aware of how my
teeth looked. I was becoming self-conscious about
my smile. I just didn’t know what could be done
to fix the problem.
"Dr. Benk explained what could be done to
give me the smile I wished I had. I was hesitant
because I didn’t know how porcelain veneers
would look on me, and this was also tied to a fear
of just doing it.
"After thinking about it for a while, I finally was
ready to make the change and had eight allporcelain
veneers placed on my upper teeth.
"I told Dr. Benk that I wanted my upper teeth
to be brighter but didn’t want the veneers to be
too white, so they wouldn’t appear unnatural. He
was able to help me attain my goal, and now the
veneers on my upper teeth are brighter and they
blend in with my lower teeth.
"I was a little nervous when I first did it, but that
ended quickly when I got so many compliments
about my smile. People think I just whitened my
teeth; no one guesses that I had veneers. That
makes me feel really good about my decision.
"I am really excited about how my smile looks
now. The veneers look and feel very natural. I
don’t even know I have them on my teeth. I just
think of them as my natural teeth.
