Veneers

Veneers come in Porcelain or Composite materials and when used covers tooth enamel that has been worn down, discolored or aged.  Veneers can also fill-in spaces between teeth or fill-in where teeth have been chipped or broken (when a full crown or replacement is not necessary).   Gilbertson Family and Esthetic Dentistry offers both porcelain and composite veneers for dental repair. 

Dr Gilbertson treats teeth with a veneer substance made out of a thin ceramic or resin-based composite covering.  He places this covering over the front (visible) part of the tooth to improve the appearance of the tooth.  Veneers are custom made, so they are hard to distinguish from your natural teeth. If you live in Scottsdale or Phoenix, dental veneers may be of interest to you if your upper front teeth are severely discolored, poorly shaped or slightly crooked.  The procedure is simple and only takes a few minutes.

Veneers are stronger than simple bonding and therefore more resistant to stains and chipping. They can last for years if you take good care of them and maintain regular oral hygiene. When considering Phoenix or Scottsdale dental veneers, look no farther than your family dentist – Dr. Gilbertson.
