The Curious Case of Veneers
What Are They?
When people think of veneers, many often have the wrong impression about what porcelain veneers really are, presuming that they’re just a fake tooth that’s been painted and glued onto your tooth. But it’s more sophisticated than that, although not at all complicated, thanks to Dr. Gilbert.
A porcelain veneer is a very thin custom-made outer covering that is carefully bonded to your natural tooth to not only protect it from further damage but that can serve to improve the look of your smile overall.

When Dr. Gilbert and our highly trained team of professionals perform veneer procedures at Bright Star Dental, our patients are amazed at how simple a process it is. Â Dr. Gilbert will start by doing some conservative shaping of the tooth.
Then he will make an impression of your teeth, and thanks to the latest in advanced technology and in-house laboratories at Bright Star Dental, he and our skilled technicians can create custom-made veneers in as little as one visit so you don’t have to wait a week or more to have the smile you want!

What Can Veneers Do For You?
Veneers are a great way to transform the appearance of your smile, but their appeal isn’t exclusively aesthetic. According to Dr. Gilbert, veneers also serve to protect your teeth from further damage and can fully and permanently restore their function by
   -covering cracks and chips
   -filling small gaps or holes in your teeth
   -correcting discoloration
   -reshaping, repositioning, lengthening, or angling teeth differently for proper alignment
At Bright Star Dental, we’ve been reviving smiles with porcelain veneers for nearly 30 years, and when our satisfied patients come back to visit Dr. Gilbert, the number one thing they tell us is that they wish they’d done it much sooner.
Even those patients who were really apprehensive about getting veneers at the beginning just can’t believe how beautiful and natural their smiles are, and how easy and pleasant an experience it was for them at Bright Star Dental.
