Porcelain veneers
Hand-layered porcelain, matched to your face rather than a shade guide — and a trial smile you approve before anything is cut.
Hand-layered porcelain, matched to your face rather than a shade guide — and a trial smile you approve before anything is cut.
Veneers are thin porcelain facings bonded to the front of a tooth. Done badly they look like a set of teeth borrowed from someone else. Done properly they are indistinguishable from what you were born with.
The difference is in the planning. We photograph, scan, and wax up the proposed shape, then fit a temporary trial smile you wear out of the practice and live with for a few days.
Only when you have seen it, worn it, and shown it to whoever you want to show it to does any porcelain get made — and only then is any tooth prepared.
