Why Get Porcelain Veneers?

Have you noticed your teeth slightly becoming stained or worn down? Are you embarrassed of your smile? Do not fret; at Columbia River Dentistry in Portland, Vancouver and Gresham, we have a wide-array of dental services that will leave you feeling confident with your smile again.

Our dentist, Dr. Nathan G. Dustin can help to fix the color, shape, size or length of your tooth to accomplish what you desire. In order to reach your smile goals, Dr. Nathan G. Dustin might recommend porcelain veneers.

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers also known as dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. It’s also a great way to get a brighter and confident smile.

What are the reasons to get porcelain veneers?

The following are some of the main reasons why you would consider these:

• Stained teeth

• Teeth that are worn down

• Cracked, broken, or chipped teeth

• Slightly crooked or crowded teeth

• Misshaped teeth

• Spaces in your smile
  
  

At Columbia River Dentistry, we provide a dental veneers brand called Lumineers.

How do Lumineers work?

It takes just 2 easy visits when you visit Dr. Nathan G. Dustin to bring out your beautiful smile with Lumineers.

First, our dentist will take an impression of your upper and lower teeth, and send the mold to an authorized Lumineers laboratory along with photos and other records that ensure the very best case for you. Unlike traditional veneers, there is typically no need for extensive drilling, shots or unsightly acrylic temporaries.

Then on your next visit, which happens weeks later, our dentist will place your Lumineers. Dr. Nathan G. Dustin will ensure these are a good fit before bonding them into place.

Our dentist can match the porcelain to the shade of your natural teeth, or select a lighter shade that will lighten your smile. They are made extremely thin, no thicker than a contact lens, which make it seamlessly easy to apply over your teeth.

Porcelain veneers get you the smile you want. If you are interested in learning more about porcelain veneers and Lumineers, please contact our offices today. At Columbia River Dentistry, we are dedicated to providing our new and current patients with only the best dental care they need.
