Designed around your face and smile
Porcelain veneers should not look fake. The goal is a smile that fits your lips, face, bite, and personal style.
Porcelain Veneers
A cosmetic smile upgrade that still looks like you.
Veneers are thin, custom porcelain fronts bonded to the visible side of teeth. They can improve color, shape, small spaces, chips, worn edges, and smile symmetry when the teeth are good candidates.
Improve more than shade
Whitening changes tooth color, but veneers can also improve tooth shape, symmetry, small spaces, chips, and worn edges.
Built for care and maintenance
Veneers can last for years with proper care. The plan should also consider bite pressure, grinding habits, and future maintenance.

What to expect with veneers.
Smile consult
The doctor reviews your goals, tooth shape, color, gums, bite, and whether veneers are a good fit.
Plan the look
Shade, length, symmetry, and tooth proportions are discussed so the final smile has a clear direction.
Prepare as needed
Many veneer cases require some tooth preparation, but the goal is to be conservative when the case allows.
Custom fabrication
Porcelain veneers are made to fit the teeth and the planned smile design.
Bond and maintain
The veneers are bonded in place, and the team explains home care, follow-up, and night guard planning if needed.
Smile Sequencing
Sometimes the best veneer case starts with another step.
Cosmetic dentistry works best when the teeth are healthy, positioned well, and planned in the right order.
Whitening
Whitening can help set the shade before veneers or refresh the natural teeth around a veneer plan.

Questions
Ask the Dentist
Common veneer questions.
Am I a candidate for dental veneers?
You may be a candidate if you want to improve tooth color, shape, small spaces, chips, worn edges, or mild irregularity. The dentist needs to check the teeth, gums, bite, and existing fillings first.
Do veneers look fake?
They should not. A well-planned veneer case is designed around your face, lips, bite, shade preferences, and personal style.
Are veneers reversible?
Most porcelain veneer cases require some tooth preparation, so the decision should be made carefully after a consult.
Can whitening replace veneers?
Whitening can improve natural tooth color, but it does not change tooth shape, gaps, chips, worn edges, or old restorations. Some plans use whitening and veneers together.
How do I care for veneers?
Brush, floss, keep regular dental visits, and avoid using teeth as tools. If you grind or clench, the dentist may recommend a night guard to protect the result.
