What are Veneers?

Dental veneers are made from ultra-thin porcelain that is semi-translucent and similar to natural tooth enamel. This means that they reflect light and look like real teeth. Veneers are often created by lab technicians and can be made in a way that changes the size, shape, and color of your teeth.
It takes two appointments to complete the veneer placement process, and you can expect these semi-permanent restorations to last 10 years or more with regular care.
The Process of Getting Veneers

With porcelain veneers, you are given a local anesthetic so that Dr. Mattson can carefully trim a thin layer of enamel from your teeth. This is necessary to make room for the veneers, so they lie evenly in your mouth and do not noticeably protrude.
Once the enamel is removed, your teeth will be permanently altered, meaning they’ll always need to have some type of covering over them. Digital impressions will be taken of your teeth and sent to a local lab where technicians will begin to fabricate your veneers. In the meantime, we will place temporary veneers over the surfaces of your teeth, which you will wear until it’s time to return and have your new ones put into place.
During your second and final visit, we will remove the temporaries and carefully position and place each veneer into the desired location. After a final polish, you can expect to leave with a beautiful, younger-looking smile.

- They can blend in to create a natural-looking appearance.

What Are Lumineers?

Although similar to traditional veneers, Lumineers are made of even thinner layers of dental porcelain and, therefore, can be bonded directly to teeth that have not been altered. Because the teeth do not require any preparation, Lumineers can usually be placed without any anesthesia. And if there ever comes a time when you want or need to remove your Lumineers, you can do so without having to worry about the condition of your natural teeth.
