Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dentistry treatment that hides tooth imperfections such as chips, gaps, and discoloration. They are thin, durable shells that are bonded to the front of each tooth to enhance aesthetics. Our prosthodontists at Spectrum Dental and Prosthodontics are experienced in the artistic and technical process of custom porcelain veneers and can create your dream smile in as few as two appointments.


Virtually all patients with cosmetic problems are candidates for dental veneers if they are in good oral health. As a cosmetic dentistry treatment, veneers aren’t meant to resolve functional issues with teeth, such as a bad bite (malocclusion). Instead, they can be a great option if you have the following issues in your smile zone, or the teeth that show when you smile:

Porcelain veneers are a highly customized and detailed cosmetic treatment. Veneers cover worn, discolored, misaligned and chipped teeth to provide the appearance of a new smile. During your first appointment, our prosthodontist will remove a few millimeters of the buccal side enamel of your teeth. Next, we will take impressions of your modified teeth and use the mold to design a set of veneers that will fit into your smile seamlessly. They are fully customized down to the exact desired shade.
When these restorations are ready, you will return for a second appointment to assess the fit and function of the veneers and to have them bonded to your natural tee . You should continue brushing and flossing normally with your veneers despite their stain-resistant nature to ensure the longevity of your oral health.
