Porcelain Veneers Questions

Serving Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale, Arizona

What are porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonding to the front of your teeth. They are crafted in a lab to perfectly match your original teeth, minus the imperfections.

What can porcelain veneers do for me?

Porcelain veneers can cover multiple dental problems, correcting their appearance, in one treatment without the need for invasive or time consuming procedures.

Porcelain veneers cover:

• Discoloration
• Crookedness
• Small gaps
• Chips
• Uneven teeth

Porcelain veneers are often referred to as “instant orthodontics” because they can cover crooked teeth, giving you the appearance of straight teeth in one treatment, without having to go through the process of straightening your teeth.

Will people be able to tell I have porcelain veneers?

No, your veneers will look like natural teeth. They will be custom crafted to fit your unique smile, and color matched to your natural teeth. Porcelain interacts with light just like natural tooth enamel, so they will look real and alive, blending with your natural teeth.

Will I have to change my diet to keep from damaging my veneers?

No. Even though the shell of porcelain is very thin, bonding the veneers to your teeth make them strong and durable.

Will my veneers stain if I drink coffee or smoke?

No. Porcelain is extremely resistant to staining.

Is the procedure painful?

No. Porcelain veneers are one of the most non-invasive cosmetic dentistry solutions available.
