Veneers are thin porcelain or composite shells that cover the front of a tooth. Dr. Brittany Pierpont designs them to look believable, never glassy or oversized.
A veneer case needs a few appointments, so we map them out before you start. That matters when you are coming from Elwood Park.
What the visits involve
First comes a consultation and a digital impression with our TRIOS scanner. Later visits cover preparation of the teeth and bonding of the finished veneers.
We confirm color, fit and bite before you leave the chair.

Brighten first, maybe
If color is your only complaint, whitening might be enough. A lighter shade also helps set the target for veneers.
Take-home kits mean no extra drive.

When a crown is wiser
A badly cracked or heavily filled tooth is better served by full coverage than by a veneer.
We will tell you honestly which one your tooth needs.
