What are Veneers?Veneers are ultra-thin pieces of porcelain or plastic that are placed over the teeth to cover up imperfections in the smile. Unlike dental crowns, which encase the entire tooth, porcelain veneers only cover the front of the teeth. They are also a longer-lasting solution than dental bonding.

‍Who is a Candidate for Veneers?
Patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their smile may be interested in having porcelain veneers. However, it is important that patients have good dental health prior to veneer placement. Patients with pre-existing conditions such as gum disease or tooth decay should have these dental health issues taken care of before pursuing any cosmetic treatment. It is also important that patients have enough enamel on their teeth prior to the procedure; this is because the veneers are actually bonded to the enamel. Patients who grind their teeth or suffer from severe misalignment issues may not be suitable for veneers, as these conditions can hinder the long-term effects of treatment.
