Porcelain Veneers
Thin, custom porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth — a long-term way to fix shape, color, and small alignment issues all at once.
What veneers can fix
- Stained or discolored teeth that don't respond to whitening
- Chipped, worn, or short front teeth
- Small gaps you'd like to close
- Slightly crowded or rotated front teeth (when aligners aren't preferred)
- An overall smile that feels uneven or asymmetric
The veneer process
- Design. We talk through what you want, take photos and impressions, and create a digital or wax mock-up of your future smile.
- Try-in. You see and approve the shape before any tooth preparation begins.
- Preparation & temporaries. A very small amount of enamel is shaped. You leave wearing comfortable temporary veneers.
- Final bonding. A few weeks later, your custom porcelain veneers are bonded into place.
Veneers vs. crowns vs. bonding
If you're looking at small chips or a single discolored tooth, simple bonding may be the right answer. If a tooth is heavily cracked or already has a large filling, a crown is more appropriate. Veneers sit in the middle: bigger change than bonding, more conservative than a crown. We'll be honest about which option is right for your situation.
Porcelain Veneers FAQ
Well-made porcelain veneers typically last 10–20+ years with normal wear. Habits like grinding or biting hard objects shorten that. A night-guard is a smart investment if you grind.
Most veneers require a very small amount of tooth reshaping — a fraction of a millimeter. We aim for the most conservative preparation that still gives you a natural-looking result.
Not when they're done well. We design veneers to match your face, your existing teeth, and the way light falls on the front of your mouth. Subtle variations in shade and translucency are what make porcelain look real.
