Porcelain Veneers

Custom porcelain veneers transform your smile by covering chips, stains, gaps, and misalignment with natural-looking, durable ceramic shells bonded to your front teeth.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells of dental ceramic that cover the front surface of your teeth. They're designed to look and feel like your natural teeth while correcting cosmetic concerns that make you hesitate to smile.

Each veneer is carefully crafted to match the shape, size, and color you want. Once bonded to your tooth, a veneer becomes a strong, stain-resistant surface that can last for many years with proper care.

What Can Veneers Fix?

Porcelain veneers are a versatile solution for a range of cosmetic issues:

Discoloration that doesn't respond to whitening treatments
Chips or cracks from injury or wear
Gaps between teeth
Slightly crooked or misaligned teeth without orthodontics
Worn or uneven edges from grinding or aging
Teeth that are too small or irregularly shaped

The Veneer Process at Atlantic Smiles

We take a personalized approach to every smile makeover. During your consultation, we'll listen to your goals, examine your teeth, and help you visualize the results.

Preparation: We gently remove a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to make room for the veneers. This step ensures a natural fit and appearance.

Impressions: We take precise impressions of your prepared teeth and work with a trusted dental lab to craft your custom veneers.

Temporary veneers: You'll wear temporary veneers while your permanent ones are being made, so you're never without a complete smile.

Bonding: Once your veneers are ready, we carefully bond them to your teeth using a strong dental adhesive. We check your bite, make any final adjustments, and polish everything to perfection.

Why Choose Porcelain?

Porcelain is the gold standard for veneers because it mimics the translucency and luster of natural tooth enamel. It resists stains from coffee, tea, and wine better than composite resin, and it's strong enough to withstand normal biting and chewing.

The result is a smile that looks beautiful and feels completely natural.

Caring for Your Veneers

Porcelain veneers don't require special maintenance. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit us for regular cleanings and checkups. Avoid using your teeth as tools, and if you grind your teeth at night, we can provide a custom nightguard to protect your investment.

With good care, your veneers can last 10 to 15 years or longer.

Common questions

Do veneers damage my natural teeth?+

The process requires removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneer, but this is minimal and necessary for a natural fit. The underlying tooth remains healthy and protected by the veneer.

Will my veneers look fake or too white?+

Not at all. We work closely with you to choose a shade and shape that looks natural and complements your features. Porcelain reflects light just like natural enamel, so your veneers will blend seamlessly.

How long do porcelain veneers last?+

With proper care and regular dental visits, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. They're durable and resist staining better than natural teeth.
