Porcelain Veneers by Tacoma Dentist

Individuals who feel their teeth are misshapen, discolored, chipped, or somehow unattractive are delighted with this affordable solution to oral disfigurement. We call this “veneering” the perfect smile.  Here is how porcelain veneers work:  After minimal tooth preparation, the dentist takes an impression of the front of the tooth and creates a very thin porcelain veneer, which is then glued in place. This is essentially half a crown, covering only the front surface and edge of the tooth, protecting it and improving its appearance.  This is often the best solution when a full crown is not needed.  Please call to schedule a free cosmetic consultation session.  You will meet the doctor, and get all your questions answered about ultra-thin porcelain veneers.
