Porcelain Veneers: Your Treatment Options

Start with what matters to you

Whether a concern involves one tooth or several, describe the change you hope to see. Veneers cover the visible surface of teeth; a dental examination helps determine whether they fit your needs. Other options may better address color, alignment or damaged tooth structure.

Discuss the details before treatment

Ask how the proposed shape and shade would relate to your other teeth and which teeth would be included. Find out whether preparation is required, what appointments are planned and how any temporary restorations would be managed. Treatment and recovery vary by person.

Know the commitment

Preparation can permanently alter tooth structure, and veneers may need repair or replacement. Ask about limitations, aftercare and future costs rather than relying on a photograph or a promised lifespan. See how veneers work, compare benefits and tradeoffs, or ask about a consultation.
