Porcelain Veneers in Houston, TX

At Artistic Dentistry, watching patients see their brilliant new smile for the first time is the highlight of our days. Veneers, sometimes referred to as instant orthodontics, can dramatically transform a smile. A set of veneers can correct chips, stains, and even deeply discolored teeth. They can also alter the length and size of teeth, or give the appearance of a straighter-looking tooth. While it may sound dramatic, it isn’t. Veneers provide a highly conservative approach to aesthetic smile makeovers.

Veneers are one of dentistry’s ultimate combination of art and science that’s handcrafted and customized to fit your smile. These paper-thin pieces of porcelain bond to the outside of your natural teeth. But just because they’re thin, don’t be fooled. Veneers are highly versatile and can replicate all the complex nuances of a natural tooth.

Good Planning Paves the Way

There’s a lot of diagnostic work and careful planning that goes into a treatment plan for your new veneers. This includes models, photographs, and digital x-rays. These factors allow Drs. Nimri and Zingalis to create a perfect blueprint to guide your treatment from start to finish. Like all successful projects, this planning can’t be compromised. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis will consider your input and incorporate your desires into your case, from color and shape to everything in between.

The Next Step

Once Drs. Nimri and Zingalis plan your case, it will take around two appointments before you leave with a stunning new smile. At the first visit, teeth are gently prepared to allow space for the ultra-thin porcelain to be crafted by a master lab technician.

Drs. Nimri and Zingalis will create temporary acrylic restorations that mimic the veneers, which you’ll wear for up to three weeks. These temporaries provide a preview of the general appearance of your new smile and lets you see try it out to see if any further changes are needed.

Delivering the Magic

After your veneers have been masterfully crafted, you’ll return for a second appointment. Drs. Nimri and Zingalis will try in each veneer and evaluate the appearance and fit, giving you an opportunity to preview the new look. They will go through several steps to precisely bond the thin veneers to the surface of your teeth. This will create an incredibly strong bond between tooth and porcelain. Minor adjustments to your bite may be required, depending on your case. We’ll provide you with a final polish that will leave you with a smile making you wonder why you waited so long to find Artistic Dentistry.
