Our cosmetic dentistry Houston office makes Porcelain veneers that can completely transform your smile. Although it is always best to align your teeth correctly with orthodontics, veneers can be used to close spaces and cover misaligned or slightly crowded teeth. This enables you to have the smile you would like to accomplish in a relatively short amount of time. Veneers are an excellent option for chipped, broken or severely stained teeth that whitening does not effectively treat (such as tetracycline staining).

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or resin material bonded only to the front of the natural tooth. Veneers are translucent just like the enamel of your natural teeth so they look very real. In addition to this, porcelain veneers are resistant to staining and therefore are not affected by things like coffee, tea and red wine. Our clients should know that for impressive veneers for cosmetic dentistry Houston residents begin at Hassid Dental.

Dr. David Hassid will do a complete examination of your teeth to determine if veneers are ideal for you. During the treatment planning process he will make impressions of your existing teeth and go over the shape, size and shade of veneers that compliment your other teeth and facial features and meet your needs.

To prepare your teeth, Dr. Hassid will first remove a thin layer of enamel which allows for the thickness of the veneer. Next, he will make a mold of the teeth so that permanent custom fitting veneers can be fabricated. Temporary veneers will be placed on the teeth for a short amount of time while the permanent veneers are made. Finally, Dr. Hassid will permanently bond the veneers to the natural teeth.
