Dental veneers may be a perfect solution for you if the surface of your teeth is damaged or badly stained. According to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey, 99.7% of adults believe their smile is an important social asset, and nearly as many believe an attractive smile makes you more appealing to others. If you aren’t happy with your smile, porcelain veneers are a great way to solve several issues simultaneously without spending a lot of your valuable time. A very thin layer of porcelain is cemented permanently to the surface of the tooth, which creates a smooth and pearly-white finish. Investing in a few of these durable porcelain shells is the perfect way to permanently improve a smile marred by chips, uneven gaps, or serious staining. Mountain Aire Dentistry has helped many Colorado men and women perfect their smiles with this natural and simple cosmetic dentistry solution.

Get Veneers for Straighter Teeth

Ever wonder how some people have such perfect teeth? Maybe you take care of your teeth, but they are never quite the way you want them. 96% of people polled believe that an attractive smile makes you, in turn, more attractive and more appealing. In an AACD study, about 75% of people believed that an unattractive or crooked smile could hurt your chances of landing a job. People with straighter, whiter smiles, however, were perceived as more attractive, more successful, confident and also more trustworthy. A pictures says a thousands words, so why not a smile as well? Dental veneers are meant to rev up the smile you already have and give you that boost of confidence and aesthetic appeal (even if it’s just for you).

What Are Dental Veneers?

A dental veneer is basically an enhancement of the surface of your natural teeth via a porcelain shell that is cemented to the front of your tooth. It is not a crown, but a shell, as we want to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. Dr. Bockrath will make an impression of the teeth you want veneers for and will discuss with you the final shape and appearance of your dental veneers. Once a decision has been made, the custom imprints of your teeth will be sent to a special lab where each individual veneer will be made from porcelain. In your next office visit, a very thin layer of enamel from the front part of each tooth will be removed so that the porcelain veneer can be cemented in its place. This thin layer is removed so that the veneers do not stick out abnormally or look unnatural.

Remember, we want these teeth to look as natural as possible to enhance the appearance you already have. We use a special light to set and harden the cement while you are in-office. Once the procedure is done, you may eat, talk and go about your everyday activities like normal. Our veneers are designed to last around 20 years, so you can rest assured that your smile will be beautiful for quite a long time. After that, we can do veneer touch-ups here and there as needed.

What Are the Restorative Benefits?

Veneers can greatly perfect and restore a smile for virtually any person. We see many patients come in looking to restore the color of their teeth to a pearly sheen instead of stained or discolored teeth from food consumption and age. Veneers can correct serious decay that caused your teeth to have noticeable work done in the past. Veneers can also restore your smile without needing orthodontic care, as they can cover misshapen teeth, irregular spacing that has left gaps, and they can correct chips and breaks that are present in the teeth. A major plus for veneers is that almost all of your natural tooth is preserved, which is something we strive for in all of our dental procedures—keeping your natural teeth intact. Crowns will take away a large part of your tooth, whereas only a small sliver of the front of your tooth is replaced with the porcelain veneer when it is installed. Plus, veneers are custom-made for each individual in a special lab. Each individual tooth, in fact, is made to specifically fit you and provide you the perfect smile you have dreamed about.

If you want to restore the smile you once had or transform it to something completely new, we can help you with dental veneers. In just 1-2 office visits, you could have a beautiful set of perfect pearly whites that will boost your confidence and appearance anywhere you go. Makeover your smile with custom porcelain veneers.
