Cosmetic Dentist – Columbia, MO

Veneers

A veneer is often the ideal cosmetic solution for patients who’d love to correct a variety of aesthetic flaws all at once instead of having to undergo multiple, time-consuming procedures. This thin shell of dental porcelain is designed to closely match the natural shade and translucent quality of your teeth, and Dr. Batson and Dr. Abe can even design them to correct the length or shape of certain teeth, depending on your input. The porcelain material is even more resistant to staining, allowing you to maintain your gorgeous look longer than ever.

The process for receiving a dental veneer typically requires two to three appointments. First, we’ll discuss what you hope to accomplish with the cosmetic procedure, followed by the preparation of the teeth and impressions. Our Columbia, MO team will also provide you with a temporary veneer so that you can become accustomed to its look and feel. Once we’ve received the final product, you’ll be brought back so Dr. Batson and Dr. Abe can fit it securely in place and ensure your complete satisfaction.
