Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of your teeth to correct chips, gaps, discoloration, or uneven shapes in one cosmetic treatment. They're a popular choice for patients who want a dramatic, natural-looking smile transformation.
Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers
Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant and durable, typically lasting ten to fifteen years or longer with proper care, and closely mimic the light-reflecting quality of natural enamel. We'll walk you through both options and their costs during your consultation.
The Veneer Process
Treatment starts with a consultation to discuss your goals, followed by minimal preparation of the tooth surface, a precise impression, and placement of your custom veneers — typically completed over two visits.
Caring for Your Veneers
Veneers hold up well to normal brushing and flossing, but avoiding excessive force (like biting nails or opening packages with your teeth) helps them last. Routine checkups let us catch any wear early.
Explore Your Options for a More Confident Smile
Porcelain veneers are one option for improving the appearance of teeth with concerns such as discoloration, shape, size, or minor imperfections. If you’re exploring cosmetic dentistry, you can learn about other treatments available, consider whether professional teeth whitening may better fit your goals, or schedule an appointment to discuss which option is right for your smile.
FAQ
With good care and routine dental visits, porcelain veneers typically last ten to fifteen years, and often longer.
Veneers require minimal removal of tooth enamel to allow a natural fit — done conservatively, they protect the tooth surface underneath rather than damaging it.
Brush and floss as you normally would, avoid using your teeth as tools, and keep up with regular dental checkups so we can monitor their condition.
It depends on your goals — some patients get a single veneer to fix one tooth, while others choose six to eight for a full smile makeover. We'll recommend what best fits your smile during your consultation.
