Porcelain Veneers Overview

Porcelain veneers are wafer thin slices of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve the appearance of your smile. The porcelain veneers procedure typically requires two visits to your dentist's office to complete, but the final result is a stunning and long-lasting smile transformation.

Making Over Your Smile

Porcelain veneers address nearly any cosmetic dental issue, from crooked teeth to discolored, misshapen, or misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers can also conceal gaps or chips to create a uniform, healthy-looking smile. Because of their versatility and effectiveness, porcelain veneers are an extremely popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that combine the effects of teeth whitening, orthodontics, cosmetic bonding, and more into one procedure.

Porcelain Veneers Procedure

The procedure to place porcelain veneers is very simple and pain-free. After removing an extremely thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth, your dentist will take an impression that will serve as a mold from which your veneers will be fabricated in a dental lab. Temporary veneers will be placed to protect the teeth until your next visit. During the second appointment, your permanent veneers are placed.
