Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers have gained popularity during the last few years as an aesthetic and healthy option to crowning. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and their natural looking color is long-lasting. They can be a very good choice for discolored and misaligned teeth.

Porcelain veneers look like natural teeth. They give a thin covering to the front of a tooth, similar to a fake fingernail. Porcelain veneers can give you an aesthetic, radiant, and dazzling smile.

The procedure is normally done in two or three visits to Prisma Dental since there is little shaping of the teeth involved. Our veneer specialist will take a mold of the teeth requiring veneers which will immediately go to our on-site lab. While your porcelain veneers are being prepared you will have several days to relax and enjoy your time in Costa Rica before returning to Prisma Dental for your veneers to be bonded to the tooth.

Porcelain veneers work very well for many people, however, if your discoloration, misalignment, or gaps are severe, crowns may be the option you need to consider. Also, teeth with large restorations or fillings are not viable candidates for veneers. We will consult with you about what the best, most aesthetic, and healthy choices for you are.

100% porcelain inlays or onlays are used as fillings and as an aesthetic replacement for unsightly metal fillings.

Porcelain crowns or caps embrace the surface of the tooth in its entirety, not just the front of the tooth. They not only protect the remaining tooth, but restore or enhance the original appearance of the tooth.
