Porcelain Veneers in Worcester MA

One way to achieve a beautiful smile in as little as two visits is with the use of porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin – yet very strong – layers of material bonded to the fronts of teeth to mask chips, discolorations, and gaps. These veneers can literally transform the appearance of your teeth and your entire smile in just two visits.

Dr. Levenson's office uses two types of veneers: porcelain veneers and no-prep veneers, known as DURAthin. Porcelain veneers require minimal reduction of the tooth surface to hold the restoration, and an additional visit to have them placed after they are custom-fabricated at a dental lab. Traditional porcelain veneers are stronger than the no-prep DURAthin veneers.

Dr. Levenson has special training in DURAthin veneers. After custom DURAthins are precisely created to fit your teeth, this method allows him to place the shells over the teeth with no alteration of the structure. Should you ever wish to have the DURAthins removed, your natural enamel remains intact.

Do you have teeth that are severely stained and are not improving with in-office whitening? Porcelain veneers can help enhance the appearance of teeth that are resisting bleaching treatments. Porcelain veneers can also be used to cover up teeth that have chips and cracks, offering another layer of protection, as well. Gaps between your teeth may be addressed with porcelain veneers, as an alternative to orthodontic treatments or dental bonding.

Porcelain veneers are exceptionally strong and can last many years when cared for properly. But not everyone is the perfect candidate for veneers. If veneers are not an option for you, other alternatives include teeth whitening, orthodontics, and composite bonding. Dr. Levenson will be happy to discuss your dental needs to determine the best option for you.
