Our Federal Way Cosmetic Dentist and Porcelain Veneers

At the core of every successful cosmetic reconstruction is the porcelain veneer. Veneers are customized, super-thin tooth restorations that are bonded to your teeth to cover chips, repair cracks, close gaps and restore the proper length, width and color of your teeth.

Despite their elegance, porcelain veneers are remarkably strong and durable; able to withstand thousands of repeated bite actions over several decades. If you take good care of your veneers, they will take good care of you for many, many years.

Based on their location inside your mouth and the function they serve, Federal Way cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brian Williams uses a wide variety of materials that fall along a spectrum between strength and beauty, including:

• Empress® 1 — for front incisors that are used to cut food when eating and also displayed during smiling. In this position, maximum beauty is preferred.
• Empress® eMax™ — ideal for crowns in your new smile. In any position, they offer a combination of beauty first, but also strength.
• ProCera® — for rear molars that are used to chew food when eating and do not appear as frequently when smiling. In this position, a combination strength and beauty is preferred.
• LAVA® — also for rear molars that are used to chew food when eating and do not appear as frequently when smiling. In this position, strength is preferred.

Porcelain veneers are an elegant way to achieve magnificent beauty over a short period of time. Expect only the best from Tacoma area cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brian Williams, and please call us to learn more.

Effective Results

Your veneers are the result of many hours of meticulous care and craftsmanship. After selecting your ideal Hollywood smile, our Tacoma area cosmetic dentist takes digital photos and impressions and use Clearmatch® smile imaging technology to determine the exact shade of your teeth and match it with your ideal shade. Finally, we create diagnostic wax-ups of your teeth.

When you return, you can expect to see how your smile might be enhanced. After any modifications are made, we provide temporaries for you to wear for several weeks as a trial period. During this time we can still make adjustments based on how they fit and feel, so the final result will be something you love.

Our office trusts only accredited, local, world-class Athena and Shikosha cosmetic laboratories to create your veneers to our exact specifications. Not only do they employ master Federal Way dentists and ceramists, they are also capable of returning your veneers in only five (5) days in response to a rush request — a speed simply unheard of among Tacoma cosmetic dentists.

“For some of our patients, this process is so amazing that it leads to an entire lifestyle makeover. They lose weight, improve their appearance and feel a greater sense of self-confidence — even considering new personal relationships and professional opportunities.” Dr. Brian Williams, Tacoma area cosmetic dentist
