Columbus Porcelain Veneers

If you've always wanted a glorious, show-stopping smile, this is the place for you. Columbus dentist Dr. Carroll can use porcelain veneers to give you a breathtaking smile.

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain, custom-engineered to fit over your teeth. These are sometimes referred to as "instant orthodontics", and can be used to address a number of different issues with your teeth, including teeth that are crooked, discolored or misshaped. Gaps, cracks and chips can also be quickly and painlessly repaired using porcelain veneers.

Porcelain Veneers Procedure

Porcelain veneer placement usually requires two visits. At the first visit, you will discuss in detail what you want your new smile to look like. A small amount of enamel (about the width of your fingernail) is removed from the front of the affected teeth, and Dr. Carroll makes an impression or your teeth. He then sends the impression to a dental lab with exact specifications for size, shape and color. At your second visit, the veneers are bonded into place.

What to Expect from your New Smile

If you care for your veneers properly, they will be more stain resistant than your natural teeth. This means that your veneers will stay beautiful, white and shiny for their entire life span.

Your porcelain veneers will look just like your natural teeth. The design of the veneers makes them mimic your natural teeth in terms of the way they reflect and absorb light.

Your veneers will have subtle color variations and will blend beautifully with your visible natural teeth, so that it will be impossible to tell the difference between your real teeth and your veneers.
