Porcelain Veneers are ultra-thin, durable shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-crafted by a professional dental laboratory to match your unique smile. These veneers are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance and create a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Veneers can completely transform the look of your teeth and are often an excellent alternative to crowns or Porcelain Crowns. They are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry for correcting a variety of dental imperfections. While veneers are long-lasting, they may eventually need to be replaced, just like other dental restorations. With proper care, however, Porcelain Veneers can keep your smile bright and confident for many years.
Patients choose porcelain veneers to address many aesthetic and structural concerns, including:
Crooked, misshapen, or uneven teeth
Severely discolored or stained teeth that don’t respond to teeth cleaning or whitening
Teeth that appear too small or too large
Gaps or unwanted spaces between teeth
Worn, chipped, cracked teeth, or even a broken tooth
Porcelain veneers are ideal for anyone seeking a durable and natural way to improve their smile while maintaining the strength and function of their teeth.
Getting porcelain veneers typically requires two visits to your dentist. The procedure usually involves little to no anesthesia.
First Visit – Preparation and Impression
The dentist will gently buff and shape your tooth surface to allow room for the veneer. Next, a mold or impression of your teeth is taken, and together you’ll choose the most natural shade to match your smile.
Second Visit – Bonding the Veneers
The teeth are cleansed with special liquids to ensure a strong bond. The bonding cement is then applied between the veneer and the tooth, and a special curing light hardens the material for a secure, long-lasting attachment.
After the procedure, you’ll receive personalized care instructions. Regular dental cleaning, proper brushing and flossing, and ongoing periodontal maintenance will help extend the life of your porcelain veneers and maintain your oral health.
