Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin restorations that can be added to the front of your smile. They help to cover up flaws and minor imperfections that might have you feeling badly about your appearance.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Veneers are thin sheets of ceramic glass that are shaped to fit over your teeth, offering a natural-looking option for concealing cracks, chips, discoloration, and other cosmetic flaws. We also offer porcelain veneers as an alternative to more time-consuming methods of orthodontics; our dentists often use veneers as a form of “instant orthodontics” to fix minor gaps and misalignment.
For our patients who desire more comprehensive smile makeover results, our dental specialists often combine porcelain veneers with other cosmetic dentistry options such as teeth whitening. With porcelain veneers, you can have a stunning smile in as little as two office visits.
Porcelain dental veneers can be an excellent way of addressing common problems with your teeth and creating a beautiful new smile with results that look and feel natural.

Am I a Candidate for Tooth Veneers?
Tooth veneers are great for patients who have discoloration from pharmaceutical drugs, or multiple dental procedures. Veneers can also help patients who have gaps between their teeth, misshapen teeth, chips, or those that want to lengthen their teeth. Part of our consultation process is to provide a detailed exam of your teeth and mouth, take digital x-rays, and review your health history.
  • Those who have black teeth, dark teeth, yellow teeth, discolored teeth, or stains from coffee and tea make you lack confidence.
  • Those who have cracked teeth, chipped teeth, small teeth, short teeth, worn teeth, or rabbit teeth that need filling in the gap.
  • Those who have mildly misaligned teeth, crooked teeth, or slightly crowded teeth, malocclusion of upper and lower teeth requiring a smooth alignment.
  • Those who have a gummy smile that reveals too much gum requiring correction.
  • Those who wish to change their smile to enhance their personality, such as changing the shape of their square teeth to be more rounded.
  • Those who wish to have a star, influencer, or celebrity smile can bring a picture of the ideal smile to design and create smiles together with the dental specialist.

Fix worn teeth, enhance resistance to damage, and yield a beautifully uniform alignment.
Veneers Aftercare
A daily oral hygiene routine best practice regularly to maintain the cleanliness of the oral cavity and healthy teeth condition is important for veneer aftercare as the following practices:
After veneer treatment, patients may experience pain, sensitivity, or swelling of the gums; dentists usually prescribe a strong painkiller to relieve pain.
Brush your teeth regularly to prevent the build-up of plaque, bacteria, and stains.
Floss your teeth regularly after meals and rinse with a non-abrasive mouthwash to remove trapped food particles between the teeth, the cause of bad breath and tooth decay.
Do not bite hard objects, hard-textured food, or ice with your teeth, or use your teeth as tools to keep the veneer from cracking or damaging.
Individuals with habitual bruxism should wear a soft night guard at night to protect the veneer from cracking or damage while sleeping. Inform the dentist if you need a soft night guard after finishing the veneer treatment.
It is recommended that the patient attend each follow-up appointment to check if there are symptoms involving the veneer after treatment, such as a toothache or tooth sensitivity.
