Porcelain Veneers
Ultra-thin porcelain facings that reshape, brighten and align the front teeth.
Overview
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth to correct shade, shape, minor rotations and small gaps. Because porcelain reflects light like enamel, a well-made veneer is indistinguishable from a natural tooth. We plan every case with a digital preview and a wax mock-up so you can see the result before treatment begins.
