Porcelain Veneers
Have questions about this treatment? We believe in informed decisions. Below you'll find answers to the most commonly asked questions about this service, covering everything from the procedure to recovery and results.
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells custom-fabricated and bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They correct discoloration, chips, gaps, and uneven edges to create a seamless, confident smile.
Your veneers are designed based on your facial features and smile goals. A small amount of enamel is prepared, impressions or digital scans are taken, and temporaries are placed while your custom porcelain shells are fabricated and bonded at a final visit.
Veneers can dramatically transform the appearance of your smile in just two visits. They address staining, chips, cracks, gaps, and uneven shapes, producing results that look completely natural and feel like your own teeth.
