Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, stains, and uneven shapes.A Complete Smile Transformation
Porcelain veneers are one of the most versatile and dramatic ways to transform your smile. These ultra-thin shells are custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth, instantly correcting chips, gaps, deep stains, and uneven shapes. At New Image Advanced Dental, Dr. Amy Wilson designs each veneer individually to match the color, contour, and translucency of your natural teeth for a result that looks effortlessly beautiful.
Whether you want to fix a single chipped tooth or completely redesign your smile, veneers offer a long-lasting, stain-resistant solution that can be completed in just two visits to our Trinidad, CO office.
The Veneer Process
The process begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Wilson evaluates your teeth, discusses your goals, and helps you visualize the final result. If veneers are the right fit, a small amount of enamel is gently removed from the front of each tooth to create space for the veneer. Impressions are taken and sent to a dental lab where your custom porcelain shells are fabricated.
Placement
At your second appointment, Dr. Wilson carefully bonds each veneer to the prepared tooth using a strong dental adhesive. She checks the fit, color, and bite alignment, making any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable, natural result. Once bonded, the veneers become a permanent part of your smile.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Veneers work best for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve the appearance of their smile. They are ideal for correcting stains that do not respond to teeth whitening, closing small gaps, reshaping uneven or worn teeth, and repairing minor chips or cracks. Patients with significant decay or bite issues may need other treatments first.
If you have been considering veneers, the first step is a no-pressure consultation with Dr. Wilson. She will help you understand your options and what to expect. We serve patients from Trinidad, Walsenburg, Raton, and across Southern Colorado. Call 719-846-7387 or request an appointment online.
