You have probably heard about porcelain veneers and the dramatic impact they can have on your smile. Maybe you have even considered them yourself but think the process may be too complicated or costly. At Southside Dental Center in Monticello, MN, we want to make a beautiful smile accessible to everyone.

A porcelain veneer is a super-thin wafer of dental porcelain bonded to the front surface of your tooth to conceal imperfections. The porcelain used for veneers is very strong and, with proper care, can last ten years or more. We can place a veneer on just one tooth or several teeth.

Placing porcelain veneers is pretty straightforward, considering the dramatic difference they make to your smile. The first step is to sit with Dr. Abramowski for a complimentary consultation.

He will explain the procedure, answer your questions, and discuss concerns. This consultation is essential because we can achieve the best outcomes for your smile when you are fully involved in the planning process.

Once we decide that veneers suit your needs, we'll schedule you for your first appointment. At that time, our dentist will carefully remove a thin layer of tooth enamel equal to the thickness of the veneers. We remove only as much as is needed to ensure the veneers cover the front of the tooth and fit snugly and naturally against your gum line.

After preparing your tooth, we’ll take impressions and send them to our trusted dental lab, where your veneers are prepared. When your new veneers are finished, you'll return to our Monticello dental office so you and Dr. Abramowski can check them for fit and appearance. When we're satisfied, we'll bond them securely to cover the front of your tooth.

Veneers are an affordable cosmetic dentistry treatment when you consider the wide variety of dental imperfections they can fix in just a few visits: 

• Alter the appearance of slightly crooked teeth
• Eliminate uneven gaps or spaces between teeth
• Conceal a severely discolored tooth that can’t be whitened professionally
• Correct the appearance of a chipped tooth
• Hide cracked and broken teeth

We place many veneers and are pleased to say our patients are always thrilled with the results. During our consultation, we may find another more appropriate or cost-effective treatment for you. In any case, you can be sure we will guide you so you can best decisiont is best for you in every way.
