FAQ
VENEERS

What Are Veneers?
Veneers are thin, durable porcelain which are custom made and then bonded to your tooth. Porcelain Veneers are usually the most esthetic alternative to problems with your existing teeth, and can repair almost any imperfection.

Benefits And Advantages
There are several advantages to veneers. A conservative amount of tooth structure is removed, far less than older techniques. The procedure takes only two appointments. A very natural looking result is achieved, as well as strengthening the existing tooth. Veneers are a very biocompatible material, the closest replacement we have to dental enamel. Veneers are also an excellent treatment if you are dissatisfied with the color of your teeth and desire long lasting, stain resistant teeth. Stained teeth age people considerably. Veneers won't stain or darken over time. Placing veneers over discolored teeth creates a more youthful appearance. Veneers can also add length to your teeth, if they have been worn down and have an aged look.

What CAN YOU Expect From YOUR VENEERS?
At the first visit, your teeth are prepared and an impression taken. You leave the office with beautiful temporaries that are custom made to simulate the appearance of your new smile. You will leave your first visit looking better than when you came in. At the second visit, they will be bonded into place. Veneers can last indefinitely, depending on how you take care of them. Destructive oral habits that damage natural teeth, such as nail biting and using your teeth to open hard objects, can also damage your veneers. Veneers should be treated like natural teeth. For best long term results, regular dental visits are a must.


NEUROMUSCULAR

What is Neuromuscular Dentistry?
Neuromuscular dentistry is a practice founded on the belief that a healthy smile begins with healthy function. This method of treatment determines the optimal physiological position of the jaw by measuring the relaxed position of head and neck muscles and then repositions the jaw to achieve those exact measurements.
