What are Porcelain Veneers?

Over the years, many patients have become more increasingly aware of the cosmetic appearance of their smiles. Imperfections may cause patients to feel as though they have no control over the aesthetics and may make them feel incredibly self-conscious about the way they look. Thanks to continued advances in cosmetic dentistry, patients can now achieve a more brilliant, beautiful smile with the use of many treatments and procedures including porcelain veneers.

When consulting with Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. of Miami Modern Dental, many patients are curious to learn more about what porcelain veneers are and how they can help them achieve a more attractive smile. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic which are custom made to match a patient's existing smile and are bonded in place over problematic natural teeth. Using high quality materials is the goal of Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. that allows them to provide natural-looking results in restorative dentistry.

Porcelain veneers can last many years with proper care and the entire process may take just a few weeks. Patients consult during their initial appointment about the benefits of porcelain veneers, have their teeth prepared with the removal of a thin portion of enamel, and the dentist uses impressions which allow a ceramist to fabricate the veneers for placement a week or two later.
