What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size, or length. We recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing discoloration that cannot be fixed with whitening or if your teeth are damaged. Porcelain veneers are also an option if you’re unhappy with the shape or look of your natural teeth.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Veneers deliver a bright, even smile by masking imperfections.
  • Durability: Made from strong, stain-resistant porcelain, they last many years.
  • Non-invasive: Unlike crowns, veneers require minimal tooth preparation.
  • Natural Appearance: The porcelain material closely resembles natural tooth enamel, giving a lifelike finish.
  • Quick Results: Veneers can dramatically improve your smile in as little as two visits.

Ideal Candidates for Veneers

Porcelain veneers are ideal for individuals with:
  • Discolored or stained teeth that don’t respond to whitening treatments.
  • Chipped or worn-down teeth due to age or injury.
  • Gaps or misaligned teeth that don’t require orthodontic treatment.
  • Minor bite misalignments that can be masked by veneers.
  • Those looking for long-lasting cosmetic improvement with minimal maintenance.

Cost of Porcelain Veneers

The cost of porcelain veneers varies depending on the complexity and number of teeth involved. On average, veneers can cost between $900 to $2,500 per tooth. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate and discuss financing options to make the treatment affordable.

Procedure for Getting Veneers

  1. Consultation and Assessment: During your first visit, we’ll examine your teeth and discuss your goals. If veneers are a good option, we’ll take digital impressions of your teeth.
  2. Preparation: To ensure a perfect fit, we’ll remove a thin layer of enamel from the surface of your teeth.
  3. Custom Fabrication: Your veneers will be custom-made in a dental lab, matching the color and shape of your natural teeth.
  4. Placement: Once your veneers are ready, we’ll place them over your teeth and make any necessary adjustments before bonding them permanently.
  5. Final Check: After bonding, we’ll check your bite and ensure the veneers are comfortable.

1. How long do porcelain veneers last?
Porcelain veneers can last between 10 and 15 years with proper care, such as good oral hygiene and avoiding excessive force on the teeth.
2. Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are a long-term cosmetic solution, but they are not permanent. They may need to be replaced after several years.
3. Do veneers look natural?
Yes! Porcelain veneers are designed to mimic the natural look of teeth, providing a beautiful, lifelike smile.
4. Are there any risks with porcelain veneers?
Veneers are a safe procedure. However, since some enamel is removed, the process is irreversible. It’s essential to maintain good dental hygiene.
