Porcelain Veneers Gallery

Porcelain veneers are made from a ceramic material that is bonded to the front of teeth to change the tooth's color, size, and/or shape. These must be made outside of the mouth and they require more than one visit. The natural results we can achieve with porcelain veneers are incredible. Please look though our Veneers Gallery to see some examples of the type of dentistry that we provide for our patients.

Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 1 by

Before

This patient was not happy with many things. One of her front teeth was discolored, and she did not like the spaces or the length of her teeth.

After

This is the result of her treatment after the placement of eight porcelain veneers. The color is very natural, the spaces have been closed, and the teeth have been lengthened.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 2 by

Before

The main complaint this patient had was the spacing but he also wanted the chipped teeth to be fixed as part of the treatment plan.

After

This was the result after the placement of six porcelain veneers, which made the patient was very happy. The spaces have all disappeared and his teeth look very natural, which gave him a tremendous confidence boost.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 3 by

Before

This patient had her front teeth bonded several years ago and the bonding was beginning to show its age by having lost some of its luster.

After

The treatment was to remove the old bonding and replace them with porcelain veneers. The result is very natural, life-like appearance and the patient was very happy!
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 4 by

Before

There were many complaints this patient had. She did not like the color, shape, or spacing of her teeth, and these all made her very self conscious of her smile.

After

This is the result of her treatment after placement of six porcelain veneers. All of the goals were met and she was very happy with the result.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 5 by

Before

This patient broke his tooth when he accidentally bit into a fork while eating.

After

A porcelain veneer was placed and the result appears as if the tooth was never broken!
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 6 by

Before

This patient was not happy with the different lengths of her two front teeth, the basic shape of all her front teeth as well as the color.

After

Five porcelain veneers were placed and the patient was very happy with the results. The canine tooth in your upper left was an existing crown, which is why five veneers were placed instead of six.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 7 by

Before

This patient has what we called "mottled" enamel, which can be caused by too much fluoride when the teeth are being formed.

After

Treatment consisted of placing ten porcelain veneers on the upper teeth, which resulted in a very natural appearance. Treatment required two appointments a few days apart. The lower teeth were treated with composite bonding due to financial constraints.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 8 by

Before

This patient was not happy with several issues. First, she did not like the space between her teeth, and she also did not like the uneven lengths or the alignment. If you look carefully at the bottom teeth you will notice one tooth that is much smaller than the others. This is a retained baby tooth since the adult tooth that should have taken its place never appeared.

After

Six porcelain veneers were placed and composite bonding was placed on the retained baby tooth. The result of the treatment gave the patient much more confidence that she had before treatment started.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 9 by

Before

This patient was not happy with the different colors she had in her two front teeth. Her left central, the center tooth on your right, was darkened due to trauma she suffered about 10 years prior to the photo. She also felt that her teeth were too sharp and she felt her teeth were too short.

After

Six porcelain veneers were placed that resolved all of the patient concerns. The teeth were lengthened, they are a consistent color and the teeth no longer stand out as too long.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 10 by

Before

This patient was not happy with the way the laterals, the smaller teeth next to the two center teeth, stuck out. He also felt that his two center teeth, or centrals, were too long and give him a Bugs Bunny look. Part of this was due to the laterals not being in the position that they should have been.

After

The treatment consistent of placing four porcelain veneers on the front four teeth. We added some width to the two front teeth and brought the laterals in alignment. This is a case of instant orthodontics since it took less than two weeks from start to finish getting the results that you see.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 11 by

Before

This patient did not like the size and the uneven appearance of his teeth. The unevenness was due to a bruxism habit.

After

The treatment consistent of placing six porcelain veneers on the front six teeth and making a nightguard to not only protect the veneers but his natural teeth as well.
Porcelain Veneers Gallery Case 12 by

Before

This patient did not like the color, the shape or the length of his teeth. If length was not an issue, one option would have been to whiten the teeth followed by orthodontics. However, that would not address the length issue so the treatment of choice was porcelain veneers.

After

Six porcelain veneers were placed and all the goals of treatment were met. The patient was very happy with the color, shape and length.
