Veneers
Durable and attractive shades of porcelain are used to create ultra-thin veneers that are precisely shaped and shaded. These veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth in the “smile zone,” typically six to eight teeth at a time. With these veneers in place, your smile will be transformed, while your natural teeth remain concealed behind the porcelain.
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for those who have healthy teeth and gums but wish to improve their smile. They are considered to be the most advanced and attractive form of cosmetic dentistry treatment available worldwide. Veneers can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other cosmetic dental procedures.
The Porcelain Veneers Process
Typically, the process of getting dental veneers involves 2-3 appointments.
Smile Design; First, we create a model of your bite and then ask the lab to create a “wax up,” which gives you a chance to preview the proposed veneers before the final version is produced.
Final Placement of Your Veneers: Using the most durable and attractive materials, our master ceramist handcrafts high-quality porcelain veneers. Once ready, we ask you to return to our clinic to have the temporaries removed and the permanent veneers bonded in place. When you gaze into the mirror, your new smile will greet you.
Maintaining Porcelain Veneers
- To maintain good oral hygiene and prevent plaque buildup, it's important to continue brushing and flossing your teeth daily, as usual.
-
If we suspect that you grind your teeth at night, we may suggest wearing a protective night guard to safeguard your new smile from chipping. These robust splints are designed to prevent any excessive wear or damage to your veneers.
- It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental checkups to ensure the longevity of your porcelain veneers.

Porcelain veneers are affixed to the front surface of teeth, resulting in a slight increase in tooth width. In order to avoid a bulky appearance, a very thin layer of the outer enamel is delicately removed before the veneer is applied and secured.
In essence, porcelain and ceramic veneers are often used interchangeably, depending on the dentist you ask. However, it’s best to consult with your own dentist to obtain a more precise understanding.
Porcelain veneers and composite (chairside) veneers differ significantly. For cases where only one or two teeth require attention or complete coverage isn’t necessary, tooth-colored composite material may be applied to the affected area. However, composite veneers are not as robust as porcelain or ceramic, and they are more prone to staining. They also lack the natural coloration found in porcelain veneers. If multiple teeth need coverage, the benefits of porcelain veneers are substantially superior to composite veneers.
Porcelain veneers offer the advantage of longevity, as they can endure for multiple years. With proper care and maintenance, these cosmetic enhancements often last for an extended period of time.
