Porcelain Veneer Options


Porcelain veneers are a very popular cosmetic dentistry choice, and for good reason. They are one of the most versatile solutions available, and if they are right for you they can save you time and money by correcting multiple problems in just two office visits.

Unfortunately, due to their popularity, some dentists will provide them without having adequate skills and training to do it well, or perhaps they use inferior materials. This has given many people the impression that veneers are a cookie-cutter solution that does not look natural or beautiful.

Working Together to Create a Naturally Beautiful Smile

Dr. Kleive wants you to know that you have options. Your veneers will be custom designed and created to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, and to address the cosmetic dental problems that you want to resolve.

You may choose to cover just one tooth or a set of teeth. We will discuss the shade and shape of your veneers with you before going ahead. Rather than aiming for a “perfect” smile, just like every other perfect smile, we use veneers to create a smile that is naturally beautiful. That requires a deep understanding of the subtle details that make teeth unique.

The Right Materials

Although there are several types of materials used to fabricate veneers, Dr. Kleive only uses those with the highest level of aesthetics and durability. A high-quality veneer is crafted to enhance a smile’s natural beauty in the long term.

Many people ask us about Lumineers. Dr. Kleive will assess your needs before making a formal reccomendation about venners. Dr. Kleive will not make an outright endorsement for Lumineers before assessing your needs. While he always puts the wishes of his patients first, Dr. Kleive will not use materials that cannot deliver the beauty and long-lasting results that you deserve.

Meeting the Craftsman

When you work with Dr. Kleive you have the unique opportunity to meet with the man who will actually make your veneers, Mr. Dave Chermak. He will see you in person before creating your veneers. His office is in the same building as we are in.

Recommendations From Dr. Kleive

Dr. Kleive uses a health-centered approach. He considers all the underlying causes of your dental problems and works to solve them so that you have long-lasting dental health and beauty. If porcelain veneers are not an appropriate solution for your dental health, he will recommend other options, such as crowns or bonding, and you will work together to choose the solution that will work best for you.
