Porcelain veneers, also referred to as dental veneers, are thin, transparent strips of porcelain that bond to your natural teeth if your teeth are yellowed, chipped, cracked, or misshapen. Porcelain veneers are a safe, comfortable, and effective way to repair minor and major flaws in your smile.

Porcelain veneers are a time-tested solution to smile defects. Porcelain veneers can be completed in just two office visits. During your first visit, your teeth are prepared for the veneers. The first step involves the teeth being slightly scratched and roughened so that the bonding material will work more effectively. You will then be fitted for your porcelain veneers by taking a mold of your teeth. Your porcelain veneers will then be fabricated from this mold. Finally, you will return a week or two later to have your veneers permanently bonded.

Following the procedure, porcelain veneers are cared for the same way as your natural teeth. With regular flossing, rinsing, and brushing, your new and improved smile can last over ten years.
