A: Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are used to correct various dental imperfections, including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and misalignments, creating a natural-looking and attractive smile.

A: The process of getting porcelain veneers at Dental Fiume typically requires two or more appointments. During the initial consultation, your dentist will discuss your goals and expectations and conduct a thorough examination to determine if veneers are the right option for you. If so, your teeth will be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth will then be taken and sent to a dental lab, where your custom veneers will be fabricated. Once the veneers are ready, you'll return to Dental Fiume for final fitting and bonding.

A: Porcelain veneers offer several benefits, including the ability to transform the appearance of your smile in a relatively short amount of time. They are highly customizable in terms of shape, size, and color, allowing for a natural-looking result that complements your facial features. Veneers are also stain-resistant and durable, providing long-lasting results with proper care.

A: The process of getting porcelain veneers involves removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth to accommodate the veneers. While this is a permanent alteration, porcelain veneers themselves are not considered reversible. However, if desired, veneers can be replaced with new ones or removed entirely, although this may require additional dental work to restore the appearance of the natural teeth.
