Porcelain veneers and your smile

Veneers are the answer to such problems as:

- Dark gray teeth that were stained from the inside with the antibiotic tetracycline.

- Badly worn teeth due to grinding

- Fractured teeth due to trauma

- Small peg shaped teeth

- Teeth with worn and stained bonding

At University Associates in Dentistry we can use porcelain veneers to change the shape and color of a single tooth or, if necessary, revamp an entire smile.  By placing veneers, small or misshapen teeth can be built up to regain a more natural appearance.  Worn or fractured teeth can be restored by making the teeth longer.

The veneer is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a fingernail.  Once it is "bonded" onto the tooth it becomes extremely strong.  Dr. Delfs also blends the veneer in with the remaining tooth structure so that it is unnoticeable to the naked-eye.  Once in place, it looks, feels, and functions just like a regular tooth.

Please call us at (312) 704-5511 for your free cosmetic dental consultation.  You may ask Dr. Delfs or any of our professional team questions you have about the benefits of porcelain veneers.
