Our providers serve individuals in the Yadkinville, North Carolina area and may recommend these porcelain overlays for teeth during a consultation visit. Drs.

At Virtue Dental Care of Yadkinville, North Carolina, Drs. Mary Katherine Taylor, and Mark Shircliffe first recommend that patients have a thorough evaluation and cleaning at our dental office, especially if it has been a while since their last appointment. During this time, we can talk about imperfections that the patient wants to treat. If we determine that porcelain veneers are the best method, we begin by preparing the natural tooth.
Our dentists remove a thin portion of the natural tooth enamel on the front-facing part of the tooth, then take impressions to custom-make your veneer. An outside laboratory will create the final veneer, which is mailed to our dental office. Patients book their next appointment, during which our dentists will then place the veneer over the natural tooth with a long-term bonding solution. Patients leave the office with their brand-new smile!
Patients who take proper care of their veneers will find that the porcelain overlays of the teeth will last several years before they need to be removed and replaced. Veneers are a fast and easy solution for many imperfections of the smile, making them a reliable and popular choice for many of our patients here at Virtue Dental Care.
Several factors need to be considered when quoting a price for porcelain veneers, so this is discussed with our patients during their initial consultation appointment once we have gathered all the necessary information to provide an accurate cost.
If porcelain veneers sound like a viable option for covering the imperfections of your smile and you want to discuss this treatment with a professional, now is the time to connect with Drs. Mary Katherine Taylor, and Mark Shircliffe regarding your unique needs.
