Dental Veneers

If you are not happy with your current smile because your teeth are discolored, misaligned, or misshapen, did you know that you can get veneers right here at Prairie Hawk Dental? Well, you can! Dental veneers are made from thin pieces of ceramic or porcelain that cover your teeth. They can fix anything from decay and discoloration to gaps between the teeth or misshapen teeth.
Veneers are made to match the patient’s other teeth in color and general size and shape, so they don’t stand out. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Here in Castle Rock, CO, we provide veneers to any patient that wants to improve their smile without orthodontic treatment or other procedures.
The process of veneers begins when our dentist, Dr. Aaron Goodman, files down the tooth to be corrected, followed by getting impressions. He must make room for the veneer, which is why some filing down is necessary. Once the impressions are sent to the lab, it takes about two weeks before the patient returns to our office. Next, the dentist bonds the veneer to the tooth, and polishes it.
The procedure is then done, and the veneers last for about 10-15 years on average. If you want to improve your smile with veneers, contact us at Prairie Hawk Dental.
