What are porcelain veneers?
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain, shaped and colored to look like a natural tooth. It is bonded to the front surface of the tooth to change its color, shape, size or length.
Porcelain resists stains and reflects light much like natural enamel, so veneers look natural and keep their color. Compare them with bonding in Dental Bonding vs Veneers.
Are veneers right for you?

Consultation
We talk about what you want to change and check your teeth, gums and bite.
Smile design
Dr. Desai plans the shape, shade and proportions that suit your face.
Preparation
A thin layer of enamel is gently shaped so the veneers sit naturally, and impressions or a scan are taken.
Bonding
Your custom veneers are checked for fit and color, then bonded in place.
Cost, Insurance and Payments
Porcelain veneers are about $43 to $73 a month per tooth with financing. Veneers are cosmetic, so dental insurance usually doesn't cover them, but monthly payments can spread the cost. Your exact cost is confirmed at your consultation.
