Veneers are thin pieces of material that are custom-made to cover the front surface of teeth to provide protection against damage and improve the aesthetics of a smile. Dental veneers can be made from porcelain or composite resin and are fit and bonded to your teeth to change their shape, color, length, or size.
Dental veneers were introduced in 1928 by a Californian dentist, Charles Pincus, and were used by an actor in a film shoot.

Veneers cover gaps, chips, and other imperfections, which can help create a more uniform and symmetrical smile.
Dental veneers are used to fill gaps between crooked teeth to provide a uniform look and provide an even and symmetrical smile.
Veneers can be used to cover stains, chips, cracks, discoloration, and gaps between your teeth, giving you a whiter and more beautiful smile.
The first step in the veneer treatment process is scheduling an appointment with a cosmetic dentist in Bonney Lake to discuss which treatment option is right for you and the number of veneers you want to have placed. Your dentist will examine your teeth and take X-rays to determine if you’re a candidate for veneers.
Your tooth will be trimmed down to prepare it for veneers. The dentist will trim the part of the tooth that is decayed first before the other parts. Our dentists will select the color of the veneer shade depending on the color of your natural teeth.
Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a mold that is used to fabricate your custom veneers. A temporary veneer will be applied while you wait for the permanent one. It takes about one to two weeks to prepare a custom veneer.
After creating the new veneer, your dentist will fit it to check for accuracy. They will then adjust it to achieve a perfect fit.
The Bonney Lake dentist will place the veneer on your teeth and then use a special light to bond it. This helps cure the bonding material to ensure the veneer correctly adheres to the teeth. The last step is polishing the veneer to ensure your new smile looks natural and attractive.
The time your veneers last will depend on the type of veneer and how well you maintain them. On average, veneers can last between five to ten years if appropriately maintained.
