Porcelain veneers have become the prime treatment modality for smile designs. It is one of the most important tools of smile makeovers.
Porcelain veneers change a smile fast and dramatically. They will remain as long as your natural teeth if done by an experienced cosmetic dentist, such as someone who is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Dental veneers help to preserve tooth substance while giving strength to the underlying tooth structure. The bonded veneer is intimately connected with a tooth and protects it against decay-causing microorganisms.
This page will give you additional examples of porcelain veneers in a variety of patients. Witness the dramatic impact on a person's smile by comparing the before and after images of patients that were treated by Dr. Rabanus.
This patient was unhappy with her misaligned and discolored teeth. She only had a two-week vacation in San Francisco.Porcelain veneers were placed two weeks later on eight of her teeth. This picture was taken at the airport immediately prior to her departure.This patient wanted to close the spaces between her teeth. She had considered porcelain veneers for a long time. Her lateral incisors were missing and her canines were orthodontically moved towards the central incisors. This alone did not lead to a closure of the spaces because there was too much space for the amount of teeth. Porcelain veneers would add size to her teeth and permit a change of the shape of the canines to the shape of lateral incisors.The porcelain veneers addressed the diastemas, the small and worn teeth, the canine shape in the position of the lateral incisors, the irregular gumline, the disproportionate tooth sizes, and the yellow color of the original teeth. These results would not have been possible with orthodontic treatment only.
