Dental Veneers

Dr. Tiago Ribeiro and his team can correct a range of dental problems with ceramic veneers, providing a natural-looking solution for common issues that affect the appearance and function of the teeth.

Ceramic veneers are thin layers placed over damaged, misaligned, or imperfect teeth to conceal aesthetic issues and create a harmonious, symmetrical, and lasting smile.

What distinguishes them from ceramic crowns is that they only cover the affected area of the tooth, rather than covering the entire tooth.

Veneers are one of the most effective and aesthetically perfect solutions for teeth that are chipped, cracked, stained, deformed, or even misaligned – often being the treatment option for “smile makeovers.”

During the evaluation consultation, Dr. Tiago Ribeiro will understand your aesthetic goals and recommend a treatment plan that meets your needs.

What happens during the placement procedure?

Dr. Tiago Ribeiro and his team use their experience as well as their aesthetic sensitivity to design veneers that look beautiful and natural. The color of ceramic veneers does not change over time, so your teeth remain bright and vibrant. Ceramic dental veneers can be an excellent way to address common dental issues and create a new, beautiful smile with results that look natural.

Innovative Technology

With our innovative imaging technology, each patient can visualize a dynamic digital image of their teeth and gums, allowing them to see a simulation of how their new smile might look through a virtual image.

This technology also facilitates doctor-patient communication and can ultimately lead to decisions about the treatment to be performed, resulting in a more satisfactory final outcome.

In some cases, it is possible to use a fine ceramic veneer, similar to a contact lens, allowing correction and optimization of your smile without pain, while keeping the entire natural tooth structure intact.

Dental veneers are constructed in our laboratory and custom-made, meeting all quality criteria, and are then bonded to the tooth surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

When properly cared for, ceramic veneers can last for years, even decades. They are made from a durable material that is resistant to stains, making them long-lasting, preventing discoloration, and keeping the smile youthful.

Practicing good daily oral hygiene (i.e., brushing teeth, using dental floss regularly, and attending maintenance appointments) is the best way to maintain long-term results.

Patients who frequently clench their jaw or grind their teeth at night should use a night guard for relaxation.

No, the porcelain veneer procedure is not considered painful.

Patients may feel some sensitivity when the tooth is being prepared, but porcelain veneers can be applied with local anesthesia.

Are there alternatives to ceramic veneers?

If you are not a good candidate for ceramic veneers due to severely damaged, fractured, decayed, or other problematic teeth, custom ceramic crowns can be applied to improve your health, restore strength, and reshape each affected tooth.

Instead of covering just the visible front surface of the tooth, as a thin veneer does, a dental crown fits over the vulnerable part of the treated tooth like a cap to restore the proper shape and function, creating the ideal appearance that blends with surrounding teeth.

For patients who do not wish to have veneers but are interested in making small aesthetic improvements, composite resin in the color of the tooth can be a treatment option. However, this method does not produce results as durable or aesthetically perfect as porcelain veneers.

Ultimately, the ideal treatment option for your case will depend on a variety of factors, which you and Dr. Tiago Ribeiro can discuss during your consultation. He will take the time to understand your dental needs and explain all available options to achieve your goals.
