Dr. Wenicur will begin your cosmetic treatment by taking digital impressions of your teeth, evaluating your smile and discussing what you’d like your new smile to look like.

For larger cosmetic cases, Dr. Wenicur will make a study model of your teeth and create the new smile in wax so she can show you what the new smile will look like. Once you are happy with the proposed results, Dr. Wenicur then designs and creates the new smile.

Beautiful Results

Throughout your treatment, Dr. Wenicur works with you to make sure your new smile is aesthetic and long lasting, and that you are completely happy with the results.


Durable, Natural-Looking Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are very thin porcelain shells that are used to change the appearance of teeth and correct minor structural flaws. Dr. Wenicur uses veneers to permanently whiten yellowed or discolored teeth, correct tooth shape, cover chips or fix mildly crooked teeth. She has been working with veneers for 25 years, has placed them for hundreds of patients and knows how to create beautiful results.

Minimal-Prep Veneers

Most veneers require the removal of a little bit of tooth enamel so they can be applied. This creates a roughened surface which allows the dental cement that bonds the veneer to the tooth to properly adhere and removes some of the bulk so the veneers look natural. When possible, Dr. Wenicur uses minimal-prep veneers. These veneers are very thin and only require a small amount of tooth preparation before they are placed.

Natural-Looking New Smile

High-quality porcelain or zirconia is used so the result looks natural and mimics the transparency and light-reflecting qualities of real tooth enamel. Depending on the case, Dr. Wenicur can even create and place the veneers the same day using her in-office CEREC® system.

For more extensive treatment, Dr. Wenicur uses a local dental lab to create the veneers. The lab technician will even come to Dr. Wenicur’s office to meet with you and discuss how you want your veneers to look.
