What are porcelain veneers?
If you are looking for a way to improve your smile, we may recommend porcelain veneers. They fit over the front surface of your teeth in order to improve their appearance and transform your smile. We also offer composite veneers for those who prefer that route. However, porcelain is stronger, longer-lasting, and more aesthetically pleasing.
How are dental veneers applied?
What is the porcelain veneer procedure like?
A successful veneer procedure involves a sequence of carefully coordinated steps:
- Initial Consultation and Planning: The process begins with a consultation, during which you will discuss your goals. Dr. Jamie or Dr. Tan will evaluate your oral health and take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to determine if veneers are suitable for you. They will then create a treatment plan detailing the number, color, shape, and size of the veneers needed.
- Tooth Preparation, Impressions, and Temporary Veneers: To prepare your teeth, your dentist carefully removes a small amount of enamel from the front surface. This ensures a proper fit and natural look for the veneers. Impressions of your teeth are taken and sent to a dental lab to create custom veneers. Temporary veneers may be placed to protect your teeth until the permanent ones are ready.
- Veneer Fabrication and Placement: The dental lab then fabricates your custom veneers, which are designed to match your desired color, shape, and size. Once your veneers are ready, you will return to our office to have them placed. The fit and appearance are checked, and the teeth are cleaned and etched for better bonding. Adhesive is applied to the veneers, which are then placed on your teeth. A curing light hardens the adhesive, and your dentist makes final adjustments.
- Final Evaluation and Follow-Up: Your dentist evaluates your bite and makes necessary adjustments. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to ensure the veneers fit correctly and that you are comfortable with your new smile. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene are crucial for maintaining your veneers.

Caring for Your New Smile
Porcelain Veneer Recovery
Porcelain veneers, unlike composite, are stain-resistant, meaning you will have enhanced long-term protection from discoloration. You treat them as you would natural teeth, including daily brushing and flossing. However, we do advise against nail biting or chewing on hard objects (your teeth are not tools!) to prevent against the possibility of cracking or chipping your veneers. We will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your porcelain veneers.
