Porcelain veneers: how could they enhance your smile?

Creekside Dentistry, home to the team of Dr. Karl and Dr. Walter Neuhaus, offers a variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures to their patients who are either in need of restorative dental work or want to improve their smile!

For patients who want a smile makeover to correct chipped, damaged or slightly crooked teeth, Drs. Neuhaus offer porcelain veneers for high quality, long lasting results. Porcelain veneers provide patients with the smile they desire and are expertly crafted to fit in with the rest of their natural teeth. Many patients will choose porcelain veneers when looking to improve the appearance of the front teeth, or those that are seen most prominently when smiling.

Dr. Neuhaus will prepare the tooth surface for veneers in a conservative fashion, removing only as much of the surface as necessary for a lasting and comfortable fit. The process will take place over several appointments and the veneers will be custom made for each patient from impressions taken in Dr. Neuhaus’ Amherst dental office. The final restorations will be placed after the custom veneers are fabricated in a dental lab, or they may be designed and fabricated during a single visit using CEREC technology.

As an alternative to porcelain veneers, Creekside Dentistry also offers tooth bonding for patients who want to cover a chip or crack in a tooth that is noticeable when smiling. Dr. Karl and Dr. Walter Neuhaus have years of combined experience and training in cosmetic dentistry and can offer patients excellent results with this more cost effective alternative when it is a suitable option.

Tooth bonding is called a “direct restoration” and is a process where a cosmetic resin material is attached directly to the affected area of the tooth. The material is matched to a patient’s natural tooth color, providing aesthetically appealing results for correction of minor cosmetic issues.
