Many people
dream
of having a brighter, cleaner, more attractive smile, but have chipped, stained, discolored,
unevenly
spaced, or even slightly crooked front teeth. Porcelain veneers in many cases are the
perfect solution.
Veneers are one of the most versatile restorations providing a completely
new-looking smile or restoring
an aged worn smile to its original beauty. Applying porcelain
veneers is a simple process involving
bonding thin, contact lens-like coverings to the teeth. The
versatility of veneers designed by Dr
Thompson allows us to create more attractive tooth size
color or shape. And in many cases, veneers can
provide a long-lasting, stain-resistant alternative
to crowns. If you're interested in
porcelain veneers or any cosmetic procedure you can
schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr
Thompson. Dr Thompson will first carefully evaluate
your specific situation, and listen while you explain
the exact changes you have in mind. We will
then show you some pictures of similar smiles that have been
transformed by Dr Thompson. Then,
comes the exciting part - this is where skill and experience
comes in. We will
take digital photographs of your existing teeth and smile. Dr. Thompson will
apply cosmetic smile
design principles while he artistically recreates your smile with digital imaging.
A special power
point presentation will be offered allowing you to see what is possible.
People are always curious about what we
can do to enhance their smile. I can always visualize a patients new smile because we have done so
many of these makeovers, but describing those changes verbally, seeing other peoples smiles in a
photo album or seeing a wax-up of your teeth helps but isn’t adequate. Imaging is such a
powerful tool that allows me to communicate with my patients, visually, what a new smile can do
for them. Plus its just fun for the patients to see the changes on themselves! - Dr.

Once you’re ready to begin treatment we will take an
impression of your mouth for a "diagnostic wax up", giving you a three-dimensional
representation of the results. The wax-up will guide us in preparation of the teeth and will serve
as a template for your temporary (prototype) veneers. Often, porcelain veneers can provide
a completely improved and dazzling smile in just a few appointments. The actual
treatment usually involves only two visits. The number of pre-operative visits depends on the
complexity of your situation and the changes you desire. There usually is a follow up visit or two
for final adjustments (engineering checks) and polishing. Specific and detailed instructions will
be given for care of your new smile to insure it lasts years and years.
