Are you tired of hiding chipped, discolored, or misaligned teeth? Do you have unsightly gaps between your teeth? Porcelain veneers may be the solution for you. Veneers can transform a smile in only two dental visits, leaving you with the straight, beautiful white teeth youʼve always dreamed of having.

What are porcelain veneers?
Veneers are thin hand-crafted porcelain sheaths that can cover your existing front teeth. They can be sculpted and tinted to match your existing teeth, or they can be customized to create a perfectly shaped, brilliantly white smile.

How are veneers placed?
Placement is safe, easy, and does not require surgery. For natural-looking results, a thin layer, usually about 0.5mm, of enamel is often removed from the surface of your teeth before veneers are placed. The custom-made porcelain veneers are then permanently attached. Continue to see your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings, and you will enjoy your brilliant new smile for years to come.
