Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made restorations that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to enhance tooth color, shape, size, symmetry, spacing, and minor alignment concerns.
Veneers are often considered for teeth that are worn, chipped, discolored, uneven, undersized, or have spaces between them. Each veneer is designed to blend naturally with your smile and facial features.
In most cases, a small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to create space for the veneer and allow a natural-looking result. After the teeth are prepared, impressions or digital scans are taken, and the veneers are custom-made by a dental laboratory.
Porcelain veneers are strong and stain-resistant, but they still require proper care. Veneers may not be the best option for every bite, especially when heavy clenching, grinding, or tooth wear is present. Avoid habits such as chewing ice, biting fingernails, or using your teeth to open packaging. Regular dental visits and good home care help protect your investment and keep your smile healthy.
For the right patient, veneers can create a beautiful and natural-looking smile transformation. During your consultation, we will discuss your goals, evaluate your teeth and bite, and help determine whether veneers are the best option for you.
