Dental Veneers

Porcelain veneers and smile design, grounded in enamel science.

A thin ceramic shell, a finely prepared enamel surface and a light-activated adhesive together explain why veneers stay on for years.

Color, chips, gaps and shape each point to a different treatment — and only one of the three permanently alters the tooth.

Porcelain itself endures for years; it is habits, bite forces and gumline changes that usually set the replacement clock.

Grinding, thin enamel, gum disease and untreated decay can turn veneers into a short-lived fix — screening comes before smile design.
