Our dentists, Dr. Jason A. Dunville and Dr. Hayley Mathie, can improve the size, shape and even the color of one or more of your teeth with dental veneers in Jefferson City, MO. If you are unhappy with the way your smile looks, veneers offer a dramatic yet natural-looking transformation.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite resin. They are permanently bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to correct a wide range of cosmetic imperfections. Because they are customized to your unique smile, veneers provide remarkably natural results that can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
Problems Veneers Can Correct
- Severely stained or discolored teeth that resist whitening
- Chipped, cracked or worn teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Slightly crooked teeth (a cosmetic alternative to orthodontics)
The Veneer Process
Getting veneers at Ridgecrest Dental typically involves two to three visits. During your initial consultation, Dr. Dunville or Dr. Mathie will discuss your goals and evaluate your candidacy. At your preparation appointment, a small amount of enamel is removed from the tooth surface to accommodate the veneer. Impressions are taken and sent to our lab where your custom veneers are crafted. At your final visit, the veneers are carefully bonded in place and adjusted for a perfect fit and natural appearance.
