Who is a candidate for veneers?
Anyone who has overall good dental health yet also a damaged smile is a good candidate for veneers. Candidates must not be missing any teeth. (If you are missing teeth, click here to read about dental implants.)

How are veneers applied?
Veneers are made from a mold of your mouth, ensuring a custom fit. They are also colored to match your existing teeth or create a new look altogether. Porcelain veneers are applied to the front surface of each damaged tooth, and attached with a special bonding agent.
