Custom porcelain veneers that enhance the color, shape, and overall look of your smile.
What to know
Veneers, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells of porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can change the color, shape, size, or length of teeth and are one of the most versatile options in cosmetic dentistry.
Your dentist removes a thin layer of enamel from the front of each tooth so the veneer sits naturally, then takes impressions or a scan for the lab. You'll usually wear temporaries while your veneers are made, and at your final visit they're checked for fit and color and permanently bonded in place.
Veneers can cover stains that don't respond to whitening, close small gaps, and improve teeth that are chipped, worn, uneven, or slightly crooked. Porcelain resists staining and reflects light much like natural enamel, so the result looks like your own teeth.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Common questions about veneers.
With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 15 years or longer. Avoiding habits like biting pens or ice, and wearing a night guard if you grind, helps them last.
Generally, no. Because a thin layer of enamel is removed, the tooth will always need some kind of covering afterward, and your dentist will walk you through this before you decide.
Porcelain doesn't respond to whitening. If you'd like a brighter smile overall, it's best to whiten your natural teeth before your veneers are made so the color can be matched to your goal.
