Porcelain Veneer Consultation & Your Procedure

If you want to discuss porcelain veneers for your teeth, call our office today to schedule an appointment. When you come in for your consultation, we will take x-rays, photos and one of our dentists will perform a comprehensive exam of your teeth as well.

If we find any dental problems such as cavities or gum disease, we will treat it first and before proceeding with the veneers. When it is time to undergo the veneer procedure, you will come into our office and our dentist will shape your tooth by removing some enamel from it. Once the tooth is shaped, we will take an impression of the tooth and send it to the lab to have the veneer made.

When the veneer arrives in our office, we will temporarily place it on your tooth to make sure it fits correctly. If your tooth or the veneer requires more shaping, we will shape it again and then place it on your tooth. Once we have the right fit, the veneer will be cemented in place onto your tooth.

Are My Veneers Permanent?

Dental veneers are not permanent. They are permanent in the sense that they cannot be removed from your tooth. If you properly care for your dental veneers, they can last up to 10 years without needing to be replaced.
