What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin, tooth-colored porcelain shells that are permanently bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Unlike crowns, dental veneers only cover the front surfaces of teeth and are mainly used to treat cosmetic issues.
Veneers crafted from porcelain are extremely long-lasting and natural-looking since porcelain mimics the qualities of natural teeth. When cared for properly, they can last for up to 10 years or more, making them a worthwhile investment.

Investing in Your Results
Why We Use Porcelain
Our thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth to give your smile a natural feel and look. Porcelain veneers often cost more than composite and resin materials. However, they are the most natural-looking option for veneers.
They match the natural color of your enamel and are semi-transparent, just like your natural teeth. They are also stain-resistant and durable, making them a long-lasting cosmetic improvement. While you'll need to whiten discolored natural teeth, veneers keep their pearly white sheen over time.

Candidates for Veneers
Certain Cosmetic Imperfections
Dental veneers are designed to mask a wide range of dental imperfections, but they may not be the best form of treatment for patients with more mild or more significant dental problems. If you have surface stains on your teeth, teeth whitening alone may be sufficient. If you suffer from extensive misalignment, orthodontic treatment may be a better choice. Lastly, if you have tooth damage, crowns may provide the support you need.
Sufficient Tooth Enamel
The doctor will need to remove a thin layer of enamel to make room for your porcelain veneer. Therefore, patients must have a sufficient amount of healthy tooth enamel to qualify for treatment. Good Oral Health
The best candidates for veneers have good oral health and no decay or periodontal disease. If you have other dental conditions, we will treat these first before recommending cosmetic dentistry.
The Desire for Permanent Change
Veneers require our dentists to make permanent alterations to the natural tooth structure, so the procedure is only a good option for patients who are committed to having porcelain veneers or another type of dental restoration for the rest of their lives.

Restorative vs. Cosmetic Procedures What's the Difference?
Cosmetic
Cosmetic dental procedures are focused on transforming the aesthetics of your smile. They are not medically necessary to maintain good oral health, which means insurance won't cover the cost of treatment. Veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure since they mask the dental problem rather than structurally fix it. You can help extend the life of cosmetic procedures like veneers through good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings.
Restorative
Restorative dental procedures are focused on improving your overall oral health. Since these procedures are deemed medically necessary, insurance will often cover at least a part of the procedure's cost. The goal of restorative dentistry is primarily to improve the function of your teeth, not the look of your smile. While a side effect may be an improvement in the appearance of your smile, this is not the prime focus of the procedure.
