What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin pieces of porcelain that we attach to the fronts of a patient’s teeth. The veneers thereby hide the outward surface of the natural teeth, making all of their flaws disappear. Veneers can be used to disguise a broad range of imperfections, including discoloration, cracks and chips, small gaps between the teeth, teeth that are disproportionally small, and more.

Some patients receive one or two veneers to cover their most troublesome teeth, whereas other patients opt for a full set of 4 – 8 veneers to change their mouth’s entire aesthetic. Whichever category you fall into, we will take great care to ensure that your veneers complement your facial structures and the surrounding dentition, thus providing you with results that are both beautiful and natural-looking.

What Are the Benefits of Porcelain Veneers?

Some of the most outstanding benefits of porcelain veneers include:

Stain resistance. Porcelain is nonporous, which means that it does not absorb pigments like natural tooth enamel. Therefore, you can expect your veneers to maintain their original luster for a very long time.
Porcelain is a hard, durable material that can stand up to the rigors of everyday eating and drinking. With proper care, your veneers may last for 10 years or longer before replacement becomes necessary.
No decay. Of course, you will still need to take care of the teeth behind your veneers and the gums around them. Porcelain veneers themselves, however, are invulnerable to cavities.
Improved confidence. Individuals with attractive teeth are often perceived as being younger and more successful than those who have yellow, broken, or otherwise flawed teeth.

What Is the Process for Placing Porcelain Veneers?

The porcelain veneer process typically takes place across two appointments. At the first appointment, we prepare your teeth by removing a sliver of enamel from them. This step is necessary to make sure the veneers do not make your teeth look bulky or unnatural. Then, we take impressions and images of the teeth. We send that data, along with detailed notes, to a dental laboratory, which then fabricates the veneers.

You will wear temporary veneers while the laboratory creates your permanent ones. When the veneers are ready, you will return to our office so we can verify their fit and attach them to your teeth.
