What Veneers Can Fix
If stained, crooked, chipped, or cracked teeth are keeping you from showing off your smile, it might be time to consider dental veneers or Lumineers. Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures to quickly enhance patients' smiles.
Porcelain vs. Composite Veneers
Porcelain veneers are an excellent choice for a beautiful, elegant smile transformation. They are custom-made, wafer-thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth and can dramatically improve the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth. Because they are made of porcelain, they are quite durable and resistant to staining, unlike composite resin. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last for 15 years -- compared to composite veneers, which typically last 4-8 years.
​
Porcelain veneers offer the appearance of a completely new smile without the need for more extensive procedures, such as extractions and dental implants.
