Restoring your smile, or achieving the smile you have always hoped for, is easy with porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin, durable shells of porcelain that are bonded on the surface of your tooth in order to solve a wide variety of aesthetic problems. They are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth; creating a beautiful and natural look to your smile.

The decision to visit Dr. Schaffer to talk about porcelain veneers is the first step in creating a perfect smile. During your first visit, the types of corrections will be discussed and an evaluation of your teeth will be made, to determine if porcelain veneers are the best method for you.

During your next visit, Dr. Schaffer will prepare the surfaces of your teeth that will be bonded to the veneers and he will also create a bite impression. The bite impression ensures that the porcelain veneers be created to fit the exact specifications of your smile, creating a look that appears natural.

While your permanent veneers are being created, Dr. Schaffer will affix temporary veneers that will look and feel just like natural teeth. Once the permanent veneers are completed, Dr. Schaffer will replace the temporary veneers with your permanent veneers, completing the process. Your new veneers will look fantastic and will be easy to care for.
