Porcelain veneers represent the pinnacle of cosmetic dentistry β ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells that transform the color, shape, size and alignment of your teeth with breathtaking, natural-looking precision.
We start with a consultation to learn exactly what you want, then use computer-aided smile design to map your ideal tooth shape, size and color.
A 3D preview model of your new smile is created so it can be checked from every angle for beautiful aesthetics and comfortable function.
Your teeth are gently prepared, impressions are taken, and natural-looking temporaries let you trial your new smile before the finals.
Your custom porcelain veneers are bonded into place, with final adjustments and a brilliant polish for a flawless, lasting finish.
What Are Veneers?
A porcelain veneer is a wafer-thin shell β typically 0.5mm in thickness β custom-fabricated from high-strength dental porcelain and permanently bonded to the front surface of a tooth. The result is a transformation that is simultaneously dramatic and remarkably natural in appearance.
Veneers can address virtually every cosmetic concern: discoloration that whitening cannot resolve, chips and fractures, irregular shapes, slight misalignment, and gaps between teeth. They are the treatment of choice for patients seeking a comprehensive smile transformation with lasting, beautiful results.
Our LVI-trained doctors design each veneer case with meticulous attention to facial proportions, lip line, gum symmetry, and natural tooth anatomy β ensuring results that are not simply beautiful, but uniquely and authentically yours.
Both Dr. Pete and Dr. Alex earned their degrees from one of the nation's top-ranked dental schools β a foundation of clinical excellence that sets them apart from day one.
Both doctors hold LVI certification β the world's most respected postgraduate program in cosmetic & neuromuscular dentistry. Fewer than 1% of dentists reach this level.
FAQ
Veneers are considered a permanent procedure because a small amount of enamel is removed during preparation. However, they are not truly permanent β they will need replacement after 10β20 years. The enamel reduction means the tooth will always require a veneer or restoration going forward.
When designed and placed by an experienced cosmetic dentist, porcelain veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Our LVI-trained doctors use advanced shade matching, customized surface texture, and precise translucency to create results that look authentically natural in any light.
Most patients treat the teeth visible when smiling β typically 6 to 10 upper teeth. The exact number depends on your smile line and goals. We recommend treating all visible teeth simultaneously for seamless, consistent color and form across your entire smile.
High-quality porcelain veneers are extremely resistant to staining β significantly more so than natural tooth enamel. With regular professional cleanings and sensible dietary habits, your veneers will maintain their brilliance for many years.
Bruxism (teeth grinding) can shorten the lifespan of veneers. We will evaluate your bite carefully β and if necessary, recommend a custom night guard to protect your investment. Treating the underlying bite issues first often produces the best long-term outcome.
Care for veneers exactly as you would natural teeth β regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings every six months. Avoid biting extremely hard objects, and consider a night guard if you grind. With proper care, premium veneers routinely last 15β20 years.
