Porcelain Veneers in Baton Rouge

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells made from durable tooth-colored porcelain. These shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their shape, color, and alignment, creating a seamless, natural-looking smile.

What Can Veneers Fix?

• Stained or yellowed teeth that don’t respond to whitening
• Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
• Gaps or uneven spaces between teeth
• Mildly misaligned or slightly crooked teeth
• Teeth that are irregular in shape or size

If you're looking for a whiter, straighter smile, porcelain veneers offer a permanent solution that resists stains and provides a brilliant, youthful appearance. For minor imperfections, you may also consider dental bonding as a more affordable alternative to veneers.

The Porcelain Veneer Process at Kidder Dental

Your journey to a perfect smile begins with a comprehensive consultation and a customized treatment plan.

Step 1: Consultation & Smile Design

During your initial consultation, Dr. Kidder will:

• Discuss your smile goals and concerns
• Examine your teeth to ensure veneers are the right option for you
• Use digital imaging technology to show a preview of your future smile

If you’re considering additional cosmetic treatments like Invisalign or teeth whitening, we’ll create a personalized plan to enhance your final results.

Step 2: Custom Veneer Preparation

Once your smile design is finalized:

• A small amount of enamel is gently removed from the teeth
• Impressions are taken to create your custom veneers
• Temporary veneers are placed so you can "test drive" your new smile

Step 3: Veneer Bonding & Final Touches

When your permanent veneers are ready:

• We ensure a perfect fit and color match
• The veneers are bonded to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive
• A final polish and adjustment is done to ensure a natural feel and flawless appearance

Your new smile is now complete, durable, and picture-perfect!
