Porcelain Veneers are a breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry. Veneers are a thin, "shell" of porcelain that are bonded to your teeth. Veneers enable us to change the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth in just two visits.

Veneers are more durable than conventional bonding; they are made of porcelain and are resistant to staining and chipping. An additional advantage of veneers is that they are a more conservative procedure than crowns. Veneers are a cosmetic treatment for a variety of dental conditions including spaces or gaps, broken or chipped teeth, stained or discolored teeth, and even crooked teeth.

With the advent of newly developed bonding agents, any number of imperfections can be corrected with veneers. A small amount of tooth structure needs to be removed, an impression is taken and a laboratory creates your new smile out of beautiful, transluscent porcelain - no metal, inside or out. In a week or two, you can have a whole new smile. No, they won't fall off. Once they are bonded into place, it's like an entire, new tooth. But nicer. And more resistant to staining than natural enamel.

Here's what one patient has to say:

For years I was embarrassed about my smile. I refused to take pictures and would always cover my mouth whenever I smiled. I went to the dentist for regular visits and would inquire about braces to rectify the spaces between my teeth. The dentist would always refer me to an orthodontist which would find my case extremely bizarre. They stated braces would not correct the problem since my case was so special. After several years of disappointment after disappointment with other dentists and orthodontists, I decided to look into a cosmetic correction.

I visited Dr. Gibree's office for a routine check up and inquired about veneers. Dr Gibree and his team put together a price list and description of the work needed to improve my smile. I was very hesitant since I thought the process could not be made to fit into my life and my budget. I am glad that I was wrong. I decided to go through with the procedure and was completely satisfied with my new smile. Since the procedure I display a beautiful smile and recommend Dr. Gibree to all my family and friends. Dr. Gibree and his staff made me feel so wonderful and comfortable. I can now smile without any fear, hesitation, or embarrassment. After my smile makeover I am now engaged to be married!!

I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I feel like a true SUPERSTAR!! I am truly happier and more confident than I have ever been - words can't express how I feel.
