Porcelain Veneers
You've likely noticed how certain imperfections in your smile can impact your confidence, affecting every aspect of your life. Perhaps you cover your mouth when laughing or feel self-conscious during important meetings or social events.
Porcelain veneers address multiple cosmetic concerns at once, creating a more confident, beautiful smile that you feel great showing off. At SJ Dental, our dentists combine an artistic eye with science and realistic-looking materials for veneers that look like a natural part of your smile.
What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-crafted shells affixed to the front surfaces of teeth that show when you smile. They’re a popular cosmetic treatment because they can transform your smile while preserving most of a tooth’s natural structure.
Porcelain veneers address a wide range of smile imperfections, including:
- Badly stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or worn teeth
- Gaps and spacing issues
- Slightly crooked teeth
- Misshapen or uneven teeth
- Teeth that appear too small or short
Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, but they still require proper care to maintain their beauty and maximize their lifespan. Caring for veneers is similar to natural teeth, with a few considerations to keep them looking stunning for 10–15 years or longer.
Good oral health is essential before getting veneers. Our cosmetic dentist will perform an exam to check for underlying issues like tooth decay or gum disease that we need to address first. Doing so helps protect your investment and ensure longer-lasting results.
