About the treatment

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.

FAQ

Common Questions

How many visits do veneers take?

How long do porcelain veneers last?

With good care and regular checkups, porcelain veneers can last many years. Avoid biting hard objects and wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.

Do veneers hurt?

The teeth are numbed while they are prepared, so most patients feel little discomfort. Some sensitivity for a few days afterward is common. Read How to Handle Pain After Dental Veneers.

Should I choose veneers or whitening?

Whitening lightens the natural color of your teeth. Veneers also change shape, size and alignment, and can cover stains that whitening can't remove. We'll recommend the simplest option that meets your goals.
