Have you ever wondered how celebrities achieve their perfect smiles? The secret often lies in dental veneers. Dr. Shaun Lee at SL Implant and General Dentistry of Auburn, WA, specializes in veneers, offering patients a path to a flawless smile. In this blog, we'll explain what veneers are, how they work, and the benefits they offer.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, chipped, or misaligned. Dr. Lee uses two primary types of veneers:

• Porcelain Veneers: These are durable and resistant to stains, mimicking the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth.
• Composite Veneers: Made from resin, these are a more affordable option and can be applied in a single visit.

Both types provide a natural look, enhancing your smile’s aesthetics and boosting your confidence.

Benefits of Veneers

Why choose veneers? Here are some compelling reasons:

• Improved Appearance: Veneers can transform your smile by addressing discoloration, chips, and gaps.
• Stain Resistance: Porcelain veneers are highly resistant to stains, keeping your smile bright.
• Durability: With proper care, veneers can last 10-15 years.
• Minimally Invasive: The process is less invasive compared to other cosmetic procedures.

The Veneer Process at SL Implant and General Dentistry

Wondering how the veneer process works? Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Consultation: Dr. Lee will discuss your goals and evaluate your teeth to determine if veneers are the right solution.
2. Preparation: A small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth to make room for the veneers. Impressions are then taken to create custom veneers.
3. Bonding: Once the veneers are ready, Dr. Lee will place them on your teeth to check the fit and color. After adjustments, the veneers are permanently bonded to your teeth.
