Benefits of Veneers

Natural Appearance

Veneers are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, with translucency and texture that perfectly mimics real enamel.

Stain Resistant

Porcelain veneers resist staining from coffee, tea, wine, and other foods that typically discolor natural teeth.

Quick Results

Achieve a dramatic smile transformation in just 2-3 appointments, much faster than orthodontic treatments.

Boost Confidence

A beautiful smile can transform your self-esteem and how you interact with the world around you.

Long-Lasting

With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or even longer, making them a worthwhile investment.

Minimal Tooth Prep

Modern veneers require minimal removal of tooth enamel, preserving most of your natural tooth structure.

Caring for Your Veneers

With proper care, your veneers can last 10-15 years or more. Here's how to maintain your beautiful smile:

Brush & Floss Daily

Maintain good oral hygiene just like you would with natural teeth. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.

Avoid Hard Foods

Don't bite down on ice, hard candy, or other extremely hard items. While veneers are strong, they can chip or crack under excessive force.

Regular Dental Visits

Schedule cleanings and checkups every 6 months to ensure your veneers and natural teeth stay healthy and beautiful.

Wear a Nightguard

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom nightguard will protect your veneers from excessive wear and damage.

Limit Staining Substances

While porcelain veneers resist staining, the edges and bonding material can be affected by coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco.
