Treatment Guide

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front of teeth to change their appearance.

When veneers may be considered

  • Uneven, worn or chipped front teeth
  • Persistent staining that whitening doesn't resolve
  • Small gaps or shape concerns

The general process

Teeth are typically prepared with a small amount of enamel removed to allow the veneer to fit. Impressions or scans are taken and a lab crafts the veneers. Temporary veneers are often placed while the final ones are made.

Considerations

  • Traditional veneers are generally not reversible
  • Bite habits and grinding should be discussed
  • Existing restorations may affect planning

Factors that can affect cost

  • Number of veneers
  • Materials selected
  • Lab work involved
  • Complexity of shade matching
