Porcelain Veneer

In his office in Cherry Hill NJ, Dr Reed can make All Porcelain Veneers . Here is what he has to say about them:

“A porcelain veneer is a restoration made at a dental laboratory which is more labor intensive and it takes more appointments but it gives us the most realistic results with the longest life expectancy.  First we have to decide what we want as the final result this is normally done with a diagnostic wax up. An impression is taken of the whole upper and lower arches then the features of each tooth that we want to change are accounted for such as length, with, rotation, alignment and color. All changes other than color are done on a stone model and shaped and carved out of diagnostic wax. Somewhat like delicate plasterwork add where we need it take it away where we don’t. As the wax up is approved by the patient we are ready to continue with preparing the teeth taking away a bit more where we need to, and not so much where we don’t. Once the preparations are finished impressions of those are taken and the temporary veneers are fabricated which will be worn by the patient for the month that it will take for the ceramist to hand stack each layer of porcelain. Opaque, body and translucent porcelains are used to create a restoration with depth and a realistic look. The insertion appointment is just about as long as the first appointment, the finishing of the porcelain veneers is detailed and meticulous work. The reward is a restoration that is not only beautiful but years later will show no discernible change. And with a stable occlusion and good design their life expectancy is quite long.”
