“My new smile has changed my life!”

– Karen R.

Porcelain dental veneers are thin wafers of specially formulated dental porcelain applied over the surface of your natural teeth that offer an excellent solution to the problems of worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spaces, and to repair chipped or cracked teeth. Advances in materials and technology make it possible for the porcelain dental veneers used today to provide a more natural look than those available in the past.

At Wendling Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentistry in Lake Oswego, Oregon, the placement of porcelain dental veneers is usually accomplished in two office visits. At the first visit after selecting the correct size, shape and shade to be used in the making of the porcelain dental veneer, the natural teeth are prepared for the application of the dental veneers by gently planing and texturizing the surface of the teeth to ensure a tight secure fit. Then a precise custom mold of your teeth is prepared and sent to a state-of-the-art dental laboratory for custom fabrication.

When your custom porcelain dental veneers arrive, your second visit will be scheduled for a thorough dental cleaning and then the application of your custom-fabricated veneers will be performed using a permanent dental adhesive.

The placement of porcelain dental veneers requires skill and artistry and is a specialty of cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sue Wendling. Skillfully applied porcelain dental veneers can last decades and feel just like your own natural teeth.
