Patient Results
What are veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that, when placed over your natural teeth, can correct a variety of cosmetic issues. They are customized and made to look identical to your natural tooth enamel using high-quality porcelain and a process called “internal laying.” When applied with expertise, they are a permanent cosmetic solution resulting in a complete smile transformation.
THE BENEFITS
Porcelain veneers are both aesthetically pleasing and functional as they protect the surface of a damaged tooth. They can replace the need for dental crowns, eliminating the need for more invasive tooth preparation. Because they are so thin, they often require little-to-no tooth reshaping when bonded onto the tooth. Once bonded into place, they are relatively strong and durable and can last a lifetime with proper care.

Which is right for me?
If you are contemplating getting veneers, you may have come across composite bonding or “chairside” veneers as an option. While both options improve the aesthetics of your teeth, they differ significantly in terms of materials, aesthetics, and durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells that, when placed over your natural teeth, can correct a variety of cosmetic issues such as worn tooth enamel, small or misshapen teeth, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, discoloration, and chips or cracks.

What is the veneers process?
The process for getting porcelain veneers is simple, painless, and typically done within two visits. During your first visit, your teeth will be prepared and temporaries will be placed letting you experience your new teeth and address any concerns before your permanent veneers are placed. Your second and final visit will be to place the final product and permanently bond them to your teeth. Any final adjustments will be made to make sure your bite is comfortable and you are satisfied with the results.
