Veneers are a thin, semi-transparent tooth shaped "shell" that are custom made of porcelain. They are permanently bonded to your natural teeth which are located in your "smile zone" to enhance their shape, color, length or size. Veneers can fix gaps between teeth and/or improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, misshaped or misaligned.

1. The teeth are cleaned and any old surface restorations are removed.
2. An impression is taken of the prepped tooth and sent to a lab where the veneer is fabricated.
3. The veneer is applied with bonding resin and a curing light.
4. After the veneer is set, it is shaped and polished to look like a natural tooth.

• Properly done and cared for, porcelain veneers can last 20 years or more.
• Veneers look amazing. Patients are often taken aback by the stunning appearance of their new porcelain veneers.
• Effortless – Veneers require no extra hygiene or additional steps other than caring for your natural teeth.

With use of CEREC® technology, chairside veneers are made possible. These procedures are minimally invasive and more cost effective since they are made here in our office.

The difference between CEREC veneers and conventional ones is that the CEREC machine is in office. Your teeth are prepped, scanned and created in office in just one visit. We do not require the messy molds that most people have a hard time sitting through. Most tradition veneers require not only uncomfortable impressions, but those typically then have to be sent to a lab, which creates waiting and future appointments. CEREC is a high-tech machine that works in conjunction with an in house milling machine to mill your porcelain veneers. The steps are quite simple and happen quickly. We scan the area in which the veneers are to be placed. This scan takes 3D digital pictures of the area and brings it in to the computer where the design phase begins. Your dentist will design a perfectly color-matched, size, and shape veneer that will feel and function like your natural teeth. Once the design is complete, the CEREC machine mills a block of porcelain and creates your new veneers. After this is completed, your veneers are ready to go and are bonded on to your prepped teeth. Within one appointment, you will walk out of our office with beautiful new veneers that look like your own natural teeth.

With some porcelain veneers, it may be possible to give you straighter teeth in just a matter of days instead of years like it would take wearing traditional braces. With this procedure you virtually eliminate the overall treatment time as well as the potential of having uncomfortable brackets, unsightly metal wire and the regular adjustment appointments typically associated with braces. Azari & Zahedi Dentistry specializes in this ground-breaking technique and will be happy to help you create a perfect smile for you.
