What is a Porcelain Veneer?

A veneer is a thin wafer of porcelain that is permanently bonded to a tooth to cover its natural color, shape, or even its position in your mouth. Dentists can apply veneers to one or all of our teeth. For cosmetic smile makeovers, it is most common to have veneers applied to several of your front teeth, especially the top teeth.

Am I a Candidate for Porcelain Veneers?

If you have healthy gums and good oral hygiene, you’re likely a candidate for veneers. Veneers can be used to correct crooked teeth, discoloration, chips in the teeth, or variations in the thickness of your teeth. The possibilities are virtually endless.

What are the Advantages of Porcelain Veneers?

Veneers are the ultimate cosmetic treatment for the improvement of your smile. Veneers are versatile in their design, and we can work together to determine the size, shape, and shade of your new tooth veneers. Veneers can create the beautiful, custom smile you’ve always wanted.

What Should I Expect from Porcelain Dental Veneers?

Veneers are a multi-step process that involves just one to two appointments. You should plan to have any outstanding dental work performed before the development and fitting of your veneers. Additionally, you may want to undergo our professional teeth whitening services before selecting the shade for your veneers. Veneers are not the same quick solution of dental bonding but offer more beautiful, customized results.

Are Veneers Permanent?

Veneers are permanent, but they do not last forever. The bonding cement used to apply the custom made porcelain veneer to your tooth is permanent and cannot be removed easily. However, veneers typically do need to be replaced every 15-20 years. When the time comes to replace your veneers, your dentist will gently drill away the old veneer and replace it via the same process. It is most important to realize that veneers are a long-term commitment. Once your teeth are prepared for veneers and your porcelain veneers are attached, a dentist cannot undo this.
