Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin, custom-crafted porcelain shells that completely transform the look of your smile.
A Complete Smile Transformation
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can correct virtually any cosmetic concern — chips, cracks, staining that won't respond to whitening, gaps between teeth, minor misalignment, and teeth that are too small or irregularly shaped. The result is a smile that looks completely natural.
The Veneer Process
Veneers typically require two appointments. At the first, we remove a thin layer of enamel (usually less than 0.5mm) to create space for the veneer, take precise impressions or digital scans, and place temporary veneers. At the second appointment — usually 2 weeks later — we bond your custom-fabricated porcelain veneers permanently and make any final adjustments.
What Veneers Can Fix
Veneers are ideal for teeth that are severely stained (including tetracycline staining that doesn't respond to whitening), chipped or fractured, slightly crooked or misaligned, too small or uneven in size, or have gaps between them. They can even be used to close small gaps without orthodontics.
Caring for Veneers
Porcelain veneers are highly durable and stain-resistant. Care for them like natural teeth — brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss daily, and attend regular checkups. Avoid biting hard objects (ice, pens, nails) and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth. Well-maintained veneers last 10–20 years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers permanent?
The process involves removing a small, irreversible amount of enamel, so veneers are considered a permanent commitment. However, the veneers themselves can be replaced if they chip or wear over time.
Will veneers look natural?
Modern porcelain veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They mimic the translucency of enamel and are custom-shaded to complement your skin tone and surrounding teeth.
How much do veneers cost?
Veneers are typically not covered by insurance as they're considered cosmetic. Cost varies depending on the number of teeth involved. We offer payment plans to make treatment accessible.
