Porcelain Veneers

Multiple Cosmetic Uses

Dental veneers are perhaps the most versatile of all cosmetic dentistry treatments. They enable dentists to alter the shape, size, or color of the teeth, meaning that they can address virtually any aesthetic issue that affects the anterior teeth (the teeth that show more prominently when you smile).

Minor Adjustments or Dramatic Transformations

Veneers can be placed on a single tooth or multiple teeth to close small gaps or revamp an entire smile. They are often placed on a single tooth that is affected by chips, stains, or other cosmetic issues. For those suffering from multiple aesthetic issues, your dentist can place dental veneers on all the front-facing upper and lower teeth.

Natural-Looking Appearance

Our porcelain veneers are indistinguishable from natural teeth, so they blend in beautifully and look natural. In fact, most people can't even tell that you have veneers. The only way that people will know is if you tell them, or if close family and friends notice the dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile.

Long-Lasting

Because they are made of a durable and high-quality porcelain material, dental veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that offers long-lasting results. With proper care and routine visits to the dentist, patients can enjoy the benefits of their veneers for up to 15 years. Once they begin to wear, it is time to consider replacement.

How long do veneers last?

Veneers can last as long as 15 years with proper care. This requires maintaining good oral hygiene habits such as flossing and brushing and avoiding bad habits such as using your teeth as tools or biting your fingernails, which can result in premature wear or even cause the veneers to become dislodged.

How do I clean my veneers?

Cleaning your veneers is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day and floss once a day. See the dentist every six months so the health of your mouth and condition of your veneers can be monitored. To keep your veneers looking new for as long as possible, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle, non-abrasive toothpaste. Gels are typically a good choice.

Are porcelain veneers reversible?

While the veneers themselves will eventually need to be replaced, patients must commit to always having veneers on their teeth due to the removal of enamel. When your veneers begin to show signs of wear, become dislodged, or fall off, it is time to seek porcelain veneers replacement treatment.

I'm not sure I want veneers. Is there some way to test them out before I commit?

We provide mockup veneers at the beginning of every treatment to make sure your veneers will look the way you want. But if you want a longer-term trial run, you should consider dental bonding, a procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to hide dental imperfections. Bonding is a faster, more affordable, and totally reversible treatment that provides an effect similar to veneers. However, resin cannot be made to look as realistic as porcelain. If you decide to undergo bonding and like the results enough to pursue a more premium option, we can replace the resin with a custom porcelain veneer.
