Veneers Specialist

What are dental veneers?

Veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells Dr. Faraj and his team permanently bond to your teeth. Doing so can drastically improve their texture, size, shape, and overall appearance. Veneers cover imperfections you might have on your front teeth, allowing you to smile confidently.

What are the benefits of veneers?

Getting dental veneers is a simple, noninvasive process that can produce dramatic cosmetic results. Veneers can perfect the appearance of teeth that are:

• Misshapen
• Cracked
• Chipped
• Discolored
• Too small
• Gapped
• Imperfect
• Unsightly

Dr. Faraj only has to remove a tiny portion of your tooth enamel prior to veneer placement. No anesthesia or surgical equipment is necessary. Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of veneers is an attractive, beautiful smile.

What are the different types of veneers?

You can choose from several different types of veneers at Novi Family Dentistry. Examples include:

Porcelain veneers

Dr. Faraj adjusts the color of porcelain veneers to match your preference. They can mask major tooth damage, including oddly shaped teeth and large fractures. Porcelain veneers require two separate dental visits.

Composite resin veneers

Composite resin veneers are a cost-effective option. Dr. Faraj can mold them onto the surface of your tooth during one visit, rather than waiting for a dental lab to manufacture veneers. Composite resin materials become part of your tooth. They are tough and long-lasting, effectively covering up small cracks, chips, and other minor tooth damage.

Are veneers right for me? Dr. Faraj reviews your oral health history, takes dental X-rays, examines your teeth and gums, and discusses your desired outcome to determine if you’re a good candidate for veneers. He and his team review all treatment options with you to keep you well-informed. What happens during veneer placement?

During the first step in the process of getting veneers, Dr. Faraj trims down the surface of your teeth by removing a small portion of enamel.

If you opt for porcelain veneers, he takes a mold of your teeth and sends the information to a dental lab, where technicians create custom-fit veneer shells. During a second dental visit, Dr. Faraj can bond porcelain veneers to your teeth.

If you choose composite resin veneers, Dr. Faraj applies resin materials to your teeth during just one visit. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite resin doesn’t require adhesive. Dr. Faraj uses a special curing light to harden the resin as it bonds with your teeth.
