What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of high-quality ceramic material that bond to the front surface of your teeth. They improve the appearance of teeth by altering their:

• Shape
• Color
• Size
• Alignment
• Symmetry

Veneers are strong, stain-resistant, and designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth for a natural, flawless look.

What Imperfections Can Veneers Fix?

Porcelain veneers are ideal for correcting:

• Chipped or broken teeth
  Restores shape and strength.
• Gaps between teeth
  Closes spaces without braces.
• Severely stained or discolored teeth
  Especially when whitening isn't enough.
• Uneven or irregularly shaped teeth
  Creates balance and harmony.
• Worn-down teeth
  Adds length and restores proportions.
• Mild misalignment
  Makes teeth appear straighter.

Veneers are one of the fastest ways to achieve a dramatic cosmetic improvement.

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers

• Natural Look & Feel
  Porcelain mimics the translucency and shine of natural enamel.
• Stain Resistant
  Less likely to discolor from coffee, tea, or wine.
• Long-Lasting Results
  With proper care, veneers can last 10–15 years or more.
• Minimally Invasive
  Only a small amount of enamel is removed.
• Instant Smile Makeover
  Most treatments can be completed in 2–3 visits.
• Custom for Your Face
  Designed to match your facial aesthetics and smile line.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Veneers?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Want cosmetic improvement
• Have healthy gums
• Do not grind or clench excessively (or are willing to wear a night guard)
• Have enough enamel for bonding
• Have mild cosmetic issues, not severe bite problems

A consultation will help determine if veneers are the right choice or if alternatives (whitening, bonding, crowns) are better.
