What Are Porcelain Veneers?

A veneer is a custom covering placed on the visible surface of a tooth. It may be discussed for selected concerns involving shape, color or small imperfections. Your dentist needs to examine your teeth before recommending a procedure.

How a plan is developed

Discuss the look you want, suitable alternatives and whether preliminary care is needed. Ask about preparation, the proposed visits and any temporary restorations. Understand the changes to your natural teeth before giving consent.

What to consider over time

Prepared enamel cannot be restored to its original state, and a veneer may require repair or replacement. Ask about continuing care and follow-up. Your own findings determine the advice, rather than a generic timeline. See how veneers work, compare benefits and tradeoffs, or ask about a consultation.
