Porcelain Veneers

Thin, custom-made ceramic shells permanently bonded to the front surface of the teeth. This is for patients looking to correct severe discoloration, chipping, or minor misalignment with a durable, long-lasting aesthetic solution.

Technologies

Without intervention

Worn edges and dark enamel continue to show. Bonding can delay the need for ceramics but lasts a shorter time under heavy load.

Leaving marked wear without a plan can lead to further chipping and a more complex rebuild later.

Methodology

Appointment Structure

  1. Step 1. Plan

    Shade and shape are confirmed from the smile design records.

  2. Step 2. Preparation and temps

    A thin layer of enamel is prepared. Temporary veneers protect the teeth while the ceramics are made.

  3. Step 3. Fit

    The porcelain is tried in, bonded, and the bite is checked.

Questions

How many teeth do I need?

Often eight to ten upper teeth for a balanced result. The number is set at the design review.

Will my temps look finished?

Temps are functional and presentable. The final porcelain has higher translucency and polish.
