Are you tired of hiding chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth? Do you have unsightly gaps between your teeth? Porcelain veneers may be the solution for you. Veneers can transform a smile in only two dental visits, leaving you with the straight, beautiful white teeth youʼve always dreamed of having.

What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are thin hand-crafted porcelain sheaths that can cover your existing front teeth. They can be sculpted and tinted to match your existing teeth, or they can be customized to create a perfectly shaped, brilliantly white smile.

How are veneers placed?
Placement is safe, easy, and does not require surgery. For natural-looking results, a thin layer, usually about 0.5mm, of enamel is often removed from the surface of your teeth before veneers are placed. The custom-made porcelain veneers are then permanently attached. Continue to see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings, and you will enjoy your brilliant new smile for years to come.

What’s the difference between veneers and Lumineers?
Lumineers are a popular brand of veneers that do not require tooth reduction. They are affixed directly to the face of existing teeth, and the process can be reversed if desired. Dr. Curtis will carefully evaluate your teeth to determine if Lumineers are right for you.

What are the advantages of veneers?
A study by the American Dental Association showed that people with an attractive smile appeared more friendly, successful, and even more intelligent to others. A whiter, straighter smile can improve your self-esteem, giving you the confidence to pursue social and professional goals you never thought possible. Veneers are a popular alternative to braces, crowns, bonding, and bridges. Advantages of veneers include:
· Instant orthodontic therapy for cosmetics
· Minimal tooth preparation
· Stain-resistant
· Durable and long-lasting
· Natural-looking

Transforming your smile with porcelain veneers is quick and easy, and the outcome may change your life. If you need an excellent Trumbull, Bridgeport cosmetic dentist, schedule your veneer consultation with Dr. Curtis today!
