Veneers

Being able to smile with total confidence is a powerful thing! Porcelain veneers are used to change the size, shape, and color of the teeth allowing you to have the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Finding a doctor you can trust to perform the procedure is the first step. The quickest way to find someone close to you is by searching through the doctors HERE and finding someone close to you or someone with before and after examples that you like.

Porcelain Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain covering the front of the tooth and allowing someone to change the smile’s size, shape, and color.

The best way to decide if porcelain veneers are a good option for you is to look in the mirror and smile. If you are happy with the size, shape, and color of the teeth but you would just like them more straight, the best option for you is most likely orthodontics using braces or clear aligners. If when you smile, you see small, worn-down teeth that are stained and discolored, then porcelain veneers are most likely the best option. Porcelain veneers allow you to change all the things listed above and straighten the teeth in as little as 2 visits.

Veneers are priced differently according to where you live, the experience level of the doctor, and what materials are used to make them.
