What Are Veneers?

Anyone who is interested in having the whitest, brightest, best smile possible – which is pretty much all of us – has heard of veneers. Celebrities are famous for their “Hollywood smiles.” The great news about that is everyone can see the gorgeous transformations that can occur with excellent dental work.

Dr. Stelmach has provided Hollywood smiles to some of cinema’s brightest stars. But you should know he brings that same life-changing talent to patients in all walks of life. Quite frankly, he is passionate about the life-changing power of creating ‘signature smiles’ - bright new smiles that are uniquely designed to fit each individuals unique facial structure.

One of the most powerful cosmetic dental techniques Dr. Stelmach uses are dental veneers.

Veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic (porcelain) or a composite resin material, which are bonded to the front of teeth. This procedure requires little or no anesthesia and can be the ideal choice for improving the appearance of the front teeth. Generally, veneers will last for many years, and the technique has shown remarkable longevity when properly performed.

Veneers are placed to mask discolorations, to brighten teeth and to improve a smile. Veneers can also be an excellent alternative to crowns in many situations. They provide a much more conservative approach to changing a tooth's color, size or shape. Veneers can also mask undesirable defects, such as teeth stained by tetracycline and damage due to an injury or as a result of a root-canal procedure. They are ideal for masking discolored fillings in front teeth. And patients with gaps between their front teeth or teeth that are chipped or worn may consider veneers.
