Dental Veneers in Bend, OR
Dental veneers are thin shells placed on the teeth’ front surface to hide any flaws and make the teeth appear straight and even. If you have crowding issues, chipped teeth, worn down teeth, or even areas of staining, dental veneers could be a great solution for you! Veneers are customizable, meaning that the shade and shape of the veneers can be adjusted to give you your dream smile. Veneers are durable and with proper care, and they can last for many years before needing replacement or repairs.
Dr. Drew uses e.max veneers because they offer a unique combination of strength, durability, and aesthetics. Before placing your veneers, we may have to remove a small amount of tooth enamel to make room for them. We’ll then make an impression on your teeth so that we can custom-build your veneers. You’ll return to our office when they are finished, and we’ll bond them to the front of your teeth. We will then make any final adjustments to create your new look.

What types of dental veneers are available?
Two main types of dental veneers are available: porcelain veneers and composite veneers.
Composite veneers are made in the dentist’s office using tooth-colored resin and applied directly to the teeth. They are usually less expensive and quicker to apply than porcelain veneers, effectively covering many aesthetic problems.
Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, are custom-made out of porcelain to fit your teeth. They are typically fabricated in a laboratory and then applied by the dentist. Due to the stronger material, porcelain veneers tend to last longer, provide a more natural look and can fix larger cosmetic issues such as severely stained teeth or misaligned teeth.
